·I have a 1950s era Seamaster Calendar Automatic that was recently serviced by Omega. Unfortunately, they refused the five-link beads-of-rice bracelet. This watch was owned by my grandfather and uncle and the underside of the bracelet shows severed wear.
I've looked for replacement vintage gold-filled bracelets on ebay but they are few and far between. And when they do show up they tend to be very expensive.
So are there any craftspeople or specialists who refurbish these? I know there are for Rolex. As you can see from the photos, mine will not only need re-plating but link tightening as well. (Though I imagine it would need to be completely dismantled anyway for plating?)
I live in Holland so I'd prefer EU but at this point, am not picky.
I am not an expert or collector, so thank you in advance for any help.
