Rolex bracelet service.
As we all know the wear and tear on a 20 or 30 year old bracelet can take its toll. Mostly stretch.
The good news is that you can have the bracelets restored to remove the slack.
The down side is they tend to come back a little sticky and need to be worn in to feel comfortable again.
I recently had a dozen spare bracelets sent to Michael Young who works out of Hong Kong. He has a great reputation but it is up to you to judge. Not sure how many are still done in house.
Feel free to share your thoughts.

Wow, Bill, is this the Reserve du Patron, or bracelets which came with your watches?

Excellent I have a few spare bracelets
And some that I wear that need tightening and shortening Difficult with the old ones Julian Ps does Michael have any end pieces? I am looking for some Julian
End pieces I am not so sure.
But I am sure you can ask as he easy to find on the web. What are you looking for.
How is the tightening accomplished?
I\'m curious of how the tightening is done. Is the bracelet disassembled and the connecting pieces (pinion, bar, "axle"?--not sure of the name) replaced? Cheers, John
Yes that sounds about right.
The have certain tools that allow them to work on the bracelets. Mostly straightening things out and replacing pins.
