Hi Guys,

Bracelet below looks fake to me (well clasp at least). Could someone confirm please?

- H date with no number
- REGISTERED SWISS MADE text too small and too close to Rolex scroll

My best guess...you're going to need some much better photos to evaluate that clasp. Clear close-ups are a must!

Ah...I was hoping you wouldn't say that. Not my photos. I've zoomed in - best I can do I'm afraid.

That doesnt help, we need to see a clear macro shot of the etching

I agree. I tried.

from the existing photos the bracelet looks good to me. maybe pull a screw out of a link and examine it closely as that is the usual give-away when all else looks good.

OK so I should have been more clear. I do not have the bracelet in my possession. The photos are from the seller. I may or may not be able to get macros from him/her.
I was hoping that the two points as listed in the OP might have sparked some comment.

I've since found a photo of a G clasp which has similar characteristics, so I'm going to assume that these are within the usual Rolex 'variations'.

If you cant get macros from the seller. Ask if they will pull a screw and take a pic of it

For my continuing vintage education, what will this detail?
