Rolex 1803 Lug Holes

Greetings all!

Have been lusting for a President bracelet. When an italian 18k bracelet cropped up (with watch head) for a smidgen over £5,000, it had my interest.

Only concern is that it has lug holes (seller said it seems factory drilled). Opinions needed!

Thanks
Dan

Also it's only on one side of the case. Weird

Not too worried about that; more worried of it being a recased movement.

I can imagine someone who hated changing out the bracelet doing this, but it's a stretch
