1990’s Rolex Sub bracelet refurb or replacement?

[se9boy]

Very sorry for another Rolex post.

I have a 1993 Submariner non date that I’ve owned for a nearly 20 years, I wear it every day and the original bracelet / strap is now starting to show signs of wear.
Does anyone offer a refurbishment service for this or is a new strap, original or otherwise, the only option?

I’ve seen bracelets for sale on Chrono24 (for example), most are very expensive and some of them don’t look in any better condition than what I’ve already got so I’m nervous about forking out for a replacement over the net.

Thoughts / comments appreciated, Steve

Some of the replicas are very good, and a lot cheaper. I use the original clasp with replica links. Keep the original parts in the box.

Michael Young is really well known for bracelet repinning and refurbishment on the rolexforums and other forums, you just need to post the bracelet overseas and wait anywhere between 2-8 weeks depending on how busy he is, http://www.classicwatchrepair.com/

I've used Michael Young in the past for a Datejust Jubilee bracelet. His work was excellent.
