7206 old Rivet Bracelet

[mcaparso]

Hi all...

Trying to sort out... I found an old 7206 bracelet (the old rivet type) with 58 end links.

I am trying to understand if this is:
1. real?
2. Fake?
3. Too difficult to discern from my terrible pictures.

Some things that appear concerning to me - The 58 number on the endlink. they appear to large, and the 8 is cut off. The word Steelinox is difficult to read....
However this is potentially 40+ years old, and I am wondering if it could be real...

What do you all think?
thanks a million.

after doing some research online...

my opinion, after comparing to many other pictures I found is that this is genuine from 1967, however the #58 end links have been cut/shaved down to fit a different watch. When you compare them to real uncut #58 endlinks, the shape is different, and fuller, and would have likely accommodated the whole #58, and not cut off a piece of the 8 as in my pictures....

what do others think?

Hi, I am looking for the same bracelet, what's your primary sources of info on it so far?
May I ask the price you paid, they seem quite pricy on the VRF.
Thanks and good luck with yours.

hi Mr.H

No feedback yet - still trying to determine authenticity.... I am not sure if this is real to be honest.... I would love to hear more opinions.
