Fake rolex president?[attached images]

[calipo9]

Hi!
I just bought a second hand rolex day-date 18038. It seems to be totally genuine except for one thing.
I have noticed the clasp is different from most of the 18038 you can see out there.
Hope you guys can help me. Thanks in advance

Curious to hear the experts chime in as I've never seen a clasp/closure combination like that before. But, I'm far from an expert.

Thanks for your response.
So, is this good or bad?

If bought in Spain it could be Spanish speaking dealers trading across the pond. Wouldn't bother me. I've never seen one either. Very nice.

Bracelet is fine.

As David mentioned, it's a legitimate Rolex-licenced bracelet, made in South America by D'Agosto. They made several different styles of bracelets/clasps for Rolex, but I've only seen that particular one on early/mid `70s 1803s.
As far as "good or bad" it's a toss up. Some see them as unusual/rare, but others see them as being not up to the same quality standards as the Swiss-Made bracelets. YMMV.

Nice watch either way!
