Feedback on this 93150?

I bought this bracelet from a forum member. It was advertised as “appears unpolished”. The sides of the clasp are clearly brushed rather than the appropriate polished finish.

I also recently discovered that the seller made a post asking about the diver extension possibly being fake.

Can you give me guidance about this bracelet and clasp? Is it authentic? I’ve tried to contact the seller, but he is unresponsive. Thanks.

The clasp and bracelet are genuine. The diver extension is genuine also. The sides should be polished as you mentioned but I've seen them brushed on other bracelets. It's very simple to polish the clasp edges back if that is something you prefer - the sides of the fliplock should have a satin brushed finish.

Not all is lost if you got it for a good price. Take some cape cod to the sides of the clasp and enjoy your new bracelet.
