Authenticate this bracelet...please :)

So, I am attempting to authenticate a Z-dated (1997?) 62510H jubilee bracelet. My concerns:

- I can find few comparables of the off-set version of the "Registered Swiss Made"

- The date code is stamped only as Z, no number (indicating month of production?)

- The Rolex logo looks a bit, taller I guess, than some others, but I have had a hard time finding a photo from a Z-date...

- I know there have been some concerns about the versions with the small coronet, which is present

- When I removed the clasp, I noticed the last link pin/screw appeared different than the rest, potentially aftermarket...the remainder appear as Rolex (see photos).

The bracelet is returnable, so I just want to make the right call....thoughts from the experts? Thanks much in advance for any input!

Did you ever determine if this clasp is genuine? I have one that looks identical

I am pretty sure it is genuine, but would wait others comments too

Don’t really like it for a few reasons, extra coronet clasps ended early 90’s to my knowledge and endlinks engraving, general shape of the scrolling coronet.

Can you show a pic of a screw the thread side

I do not like this one as well. This looks like yet another poor new minted example of these type of counterfeit bracelets..

Unfortunately this is a near two year old post and doubt there will be other pictures.

Here's a photo of mine which looks identical. It was on a watch purchased used from an AD. The watch itself was from 1972, however.

Well the band has been replaced as it’s newer than 1972 and used via a Ad is different than new and has potential to be fake, it would not be the first time imho

"Looks identical".

Actually I felt the OPs to look more original (genuine) than yours.

But I go with David's opinion.

Is there anything else I can do to verify the authenticity?

Highly Suspect!
