Is this a bogus DSSD deepsea clasp??? Looks off 2 me...

https://www.chrono24.com/rolex/brace...-id9856248.htm

The 98210 bracelet markings and band design at the lug matting point appear incorrect imho. My original etching was crisp, and the band at the lugs appeared to be split into 3 pieces. What do others say?

The sellers is also very defensive FWIW and will not provide any further info on the band or clasp, nor close up / clear photos.

I can say having owned two genuine DSSDs myself nothing looks right to me here.

Your thoughts please?

Pictures are just not good enough.
But from what I can see the end link looks genuine.
I can not tell the deployant clasp
Sorry

There are some pretty accurate “midrange” fake DSSD’s out there, could be off one of them. My other question would be how or why someone ends up with an orphan DSSD bracelet?

Agreed. Of the few that are out there no sellers will provide a clear or genuine reply.

So FWIW here is the response I received from the seller, Vladislav A., when I once more requested close up photos of the clasp...(certain seller language omitted).

"dalbaeb you are american! d$%^ shove it straight in your stupid american as%$#@!. brainless ram! f%^& you dumb American face lol. you f%^&*%$ onanist and pedophile you! gay f&^%#$ we will find you and cut your c*^& off and put it in your mouth! do you think that you hide? American pedophile. f%^*&@#"


Well then...if nothing else be forewarned whomever deals with this individual is obviously buying from a individual of the highest character (slight sarcasm). All this for just questioning the items authenticity and asking kindly for more pictures, sheesh. My advice, run!!!!

Again, here is a genuine bracelet etching and design. The one on chrono24 looks totally different.

Aren’t genuine end links 3 piece? The one in question is 1 piece.

Precisely the point. Post #7 is the band in question.

Fyi, emailed Chrono24 customer service multiple times and no reply. That site is a total joke!

Yes it is, if you would have bought it they do nothing for you. Good that you noticed this obvious fake in time.

Interesting seller btw
