93153 18K bracelet, or not?

This bracelet definitely needs a deep cleaning, and maybe a polish. But is this genuine?

Looks real, but it is really worn out. Really whipped.

Can anyone confirm that these come with rounded "3" on clasp blade but flat "3" on last link?

I've only ever seen them with flat-top 3's on both the clasp and end-link. Also, the "93153" on the end-link looks sloppily stamped (rather than engraved) and the font looks way too big.

I can confirm because I own a TT Bluesy with the same bracelet. Just checked mine with a magnifying glass. On the end links the "3" has a flat top. And the numbers ARE stamped in not engraved. On the clasp blade the "3" has a round top so they are indeed different. My watch is real as I bought it new 18 years ago from an AD. That bracelet is the real deal, it is very worn out and would need a Michael Young restoration to make it worthwhile wearing.
