Has anyone purchased or seen those "italian made" aftermarket Rolex bracelets from e-Bay? A couple different sellers sell the bracelets claiming they are 18K solid yellow or white gold. I'm interested in knowing if the product is legitimate even if they are not made by Rolex.

I wouldn't put one of those on my watches...

It's like putting remoulded tyres (tires) on a Ferrari, dont!

Not the Italian ones, no.

I do have a solid link replica on my DJ. Used the vintage end pieces and clasp. Looks great.

As for being precious, yeah.... I think they are.

Drop Hornblower a line and see where he got his TT bracelet.

I've seen those "Italian made" bracelets advertised and have not heard anyone complain that they were swindled. I bought an after market, stainless jubilee to put on an old Girard Perregaux and was very happy with the quality.

I suspect that the only difference from stainless to two-tone or all gold is the value of the metal. You're going to have to trust the seller, so check feedback wherever you can.
