The end links don't look right from the top view.
 The clasp looks much newer than the rest of the bracelet. The middle link [that connects to the end link] is chewed to hell and back. All in all I'd say no way. JMHO. dP

One of the end links has rust, the side of the links should be "filled", I say no way.

I could be wrong with my assessment. The seller does have a return policy and it guarantied authentic.
Good luck, hope it turns out for you, dP

Why cant you retract your bid? or ask him to cancel your bid, say you bid on the wrong item

A member over on the VRF replied to your question saying it looks 100% legit. Here's hoping that's true.

All I can add is that the Rolex Report states that a Bracelet Ref number of 7836 should carry an end piece stamped with either a 501, 501B, 503, 558, 558B or 580. End pieces that are SS start with a 5. No where is an end piece listed with a 382 for any bracelet. That "E" over "T" code, as far as I can see, does not correspond with anything. They should be numbers signifying a date.
The stamping on the clasp blades looks cheap and I have never seen SS rust. The only curve ball are those links and their fold over construction. I have rarely seen these so this is confusing Hope I'm wrong...but I don't think it's legit...sorry. |

Ask the seller if it is rust on the end link. If it is rust it is not stainless steel. All of the steel Rolex bracelet's are stainless steel right? If it is rust it can't be Rolex and the ad was not truthful.

Another thought. Take a look at his ratings. He sold two other stainless bracelets. See if those buyers were happy with legit bracelets.
