Not sure about this bracelet
Bracelet, feels ok, is worn etc but I have heard if there is a crown stamped on the inner clasp it could be fake, so wanted to ask the experts..
   Thanks in advance |

Thanks, I have a dilemma, it feels right and is worn right just worried about the crown on the inside

The rest of it looks fine I have to say, but I can't ever remeber seeing the corronet in there before....the 555 looks to be a bit on the big side on the end link but that could easily be a trick of the light/camera/angle of the shot.....as I said, the rest looks fine to me.....Mike (Tools) posted the other day with a bracelet clasp "quiz" might be worth looking there to see if any of his pictures show the corronet in there on the clasp internals

The stamped crown does not automatically make a bracelet fake..
 When fakers first started stamping these things out, they used one with the crown as a model, so many, many fakes do have a crown... it is a tell that would make you look everything else over more closely.. Yours looks fine for a 20 year old bracelet., based just on these photos...  (although, a more clear photo of the crown on the clasp would be nice)

i thought the "F" on top of the coronet was shorthand for "FAKE"
The "F" is for "FAKE"
  it looks ok to me. Quote:
