It looks OK to me.

... little surprised to see a Rolex branded clasp.
Wonder how old the watch is?

Thanks for your responses. I'm getting the feel the bracelet may be a replacement? I am waiting to hear back about the serial. It starts with a b which dates it between 1990 & 1998. I need more of the number to date it. My main concern is that it is authentic which it appears to be.

It is entirely possible the bracelet is a replacement without the TUDOR.

Take a look at 2 of the bracelets.

I find it suspicious.
For example, cyclop magnifier not good...
End links not good...

Thank you! I was thinking about it on eBay. I am glad I asked, I am probably going to pass on it. I appreciate your help.
