Lol I hear you, but you know at what point do we know what’s real and fake anymore. I can say for sure it’s 18k Gold. The place I’m dealing with is a reputable place, I’m just the type of person who questions everything if I don’t get it from an AD

I bought a used Rolex from a "reputable" dealer and ended up bent over, "reputable dealers" lie just as well as anyone, they get paid to move product!
I will never again buy used high $$ watches again.

Thanks.
I would move slowly. Its probably not the real bracelet. I bought a used Rolex DD with bark bracelet (circa 1989) from a reputable dealer. However, their used Rolex internet sales is from a different location than the jewelry store. When I received the watch the bracelet looked brand new. The hallmarks on the bracelet were there too but when looking at them with loops, the detail was off. I was fortunate that they let me send it back.

Why don’t you pm message if you want to know if the linked section is real, of course you can tell.

My earlier advice stands - find a better one with the newer clasp.

You’ve got all the info about authenticity by now.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted here. I did get the watch and it was confirmed to be authentic. Took weight off of my shoulders. They said the bracelet was in incredible shape for its age.
