Just purchased 1991 Rolex 16718 - Need some info on unusual bracelet
So I just purchased this from a private seller and the head appears correct, however the bracelet is perplexing. The watch was just serviced in 2017, serial #'s match the warranty card, rolex service, names line up with who I bought it from, etc.
On the service it mentions two spring bars, but other than that I don't see a mention of the bracelet (not that there would or should be a mention). So the bracelet has these two "ears" like the stainless models do but I can't find photos of this looking at other X serial Rolexes (or even an F serial without lug holes). The engraving on the ends I can't find a reference for either. I'm trying to figure out if this is a replacement bracelet, and if it is, if it is OEM or aftermarket.

Thanks for the info. Did Rolex offer a couple bracelets? Just trying to figure out why it doesn’t match up to some others I’ve seen listed for similar year. Seller says that bracelet was sent in with the watch at service time. I feel fairly comfortable with the seller. |
