Real or fake 78350 bracelet?

Hi everybody,

I hope you're well.

Could you please help me verify wheter this bracelet is authentic or not? Something looks off to me...

Many thanks for your help,
JD

Looks OK from the photos. What looks off to you? It's missing some links, so it'll be probably be short for anyone with a wrist over 7 inches. (Only 10 full links.) I have this bracelet for my 6263, so I'm familiar with it.

Thanks for your feedback. I think the clasp and especially the quality of the crown engraving look odd. But maybe I'm wrong. Could you maybe upload a pic from your clasp?

Based on the photos, I'm with Swish.

Not a great photo, but the only (existing) one I have of my clasp, which is several years later than the one you posted and has a couple of differences in the stampings, including the reference number.

I'm sure there are plenty of other photos online of other 78350 bracelets for comparison.
