I have heard that at one time Rolex did have some of the bracelets crafted in Italy? Is this so and if so when ?

99.99% sure those are all reproductions/aftermarket.

Why would Rolex have the bracelets crafted in Italy when they operate their own foundry?

Most commonly, when dreadful sellers of tired old Rolex 1803 / 6917s that have been horrifically over-dosed with a steroid diet of third party diamonds are trying to sell their tatty wares, often over the internet or to tourists.

I know nothing about Italy; however they did license gold bracelet manufacture in Argentina. Apparently because of tariffs.

These bands are fake in president style, Rolex did make usually ladies cocktail watch integrated bracelets in the old days
