Hi Bagel and Mark,

Thank you both for you responses.

I felt brave this morning and used two bamboo toothpicks to release the bracelet at the 6 o'clock position. I am pleased to observe that the inscription does say 'stainless steel' and the serial # does match my papers.
Also, the three numerals (perforated) before the serial # on the 'Garantie' are 160, which is ROLEX code for the UK, which I have learned on this wonderful forum.

I have a wonderful digital Nikon camera, great for action sports, but not the correct macro lens to provide very good close-up, still photos. I will post the best photos which I have been able to take thus far.........

Peter
