Is this Rolex DD President Bracelet genuine?

Is this Rolex DD President Bracelet genuine? On the bracelet claps it is stamped "Made In Japan", and I know Rolex made bracelets in Japan and Argentina. But should the bracelet be of different quality like on the pictures?
In picture number 3 I took picture after I did fold the bracelet togheter and it stayed like that, and in picture number 4 you can se that the bracelet are not folding like the other Swiss made bracelet I have. Should the bracelets made in Japan be like that or is just the claps real?

This is the only way to tell if it's the genuine article.

Clasp is real. The band were not of the same manufacture quality as Swiss. I need far better pics to tell you if the links section has been replaced with aftermarket links.

I bought the watch on Chrono24 from The Grateful Time Company, and they told me that everything is 100% Genuine Rolex parts!
I put the link from the seller on Chrono24 below.
