Thoughts on this bracelet
Hello, this is my first post in a while. Maybe my first in the vintage section. I am looking for opinions on this Jubilee. The end links are not genuine, but they are 18k. The clasp looks good to me. Not sure about the bracelet. Thanks!

Hard to tell with those pictures. Why your concern with the sections, do they look too new? Replacement? As you mention, Clasp is good but it appears more aged than the sections. Did you test the gold links? |

I am trying to determine if the previous owner only swapped out the endlinks or the bracelet as well. The links are gold.

Pictures aren’t the best although for me the underside looks a little strange the outer links have taken a little bit of a beating with dings but nothing on the gold links

Based on these pictures, it appears the sections are newer. The question whether authentic or not, hard to tell from the pics. There may be some indications to help you decide if they were swapped out. Look at the image below and determine if the pins look good (pic below appears not tapped down all the way), as well as screws that do not flush to the edge. If you did not pay top money, and it is confirmed gold, swap the end links (if desired) and enjoy! . |

Thoughts on this bracelet
Hi in an original link look at the corners they are thicker to resist twisting forces, they are moulded. Aftermarket links are a flat piece of gold made into a loop ( all the same thickness). I can also tell from the screws. If you remove a screw and take a pic of the thread there is a another way to check the screws are original cheers
