How to tell if this is a genuine bracelet

Hello,

Someone on eBay is selling a 69200 bracelet,

How do I tell if it's genuine please? Screenshot_20240504_235610_eBay.jpgScreenshot_20240504_235729_eBay.jpg

I’m not an expert but I have swapped my bracelets enough to say that I don’t believe that is authentic. Those numbers look stamped with ink instead of pressed into the SS. That is my opinion, good luck.

I feel the same. I have a 69200 with me and the serial # doesn’t look that dark and splotchy

Did the eBayer also include a photo of the clasp and its code?

Like this:


I have seen aftermarket ones that look like that - the honest ones don't laser etch the coronet.

If they are charging less than $3k-ish, that could also be a red flag

I also had this question, but for a daydate - is the only way you're able to tell if the bracelet is original is by taking the pins out and looking at the serial numbers?

Looks fake to me. Never seen an engraving like that.

Genuine:

Those serial numbers look like they are printed on? I don’t believe that to be correct as I’m sure they should be engraved like any other Rolex product.

What the others said, those serial numbers don’t look correct to me.
