Is this 7836 Authentic?

[HERITAGE82]

Hello all,

I recently purchased a Tudor Jumbo on eBay, but I have my doubts about the authenticity of the 7836. I would greatly appreciate your input.

All the markings look fine to me, the easiest way to tell though is by checking the side of the bracelet and how the endlinks connect to the bracelet compared to a real one, which is quite hard from your pics.

Thank you!

Does this picture clarify anything? If not let know which angle is needed and I will post.

yours has me questioning it, It's not a fake i've seen before, but there's still inconsistencies with the real one, the lack of Patented&Registered on the clasp is puzzling as well as the coronet on the ribbon inside the clasp blade.

@SouthTexas, here are a few links that have in depth review/pics of fake 7836 bracelets. With as many bracelets as you deal with, I feel a fake would stick out like a sore thumb, the endlinks are quite different as well as how the links connect to the clasp.Notice the cut out on the endlink to allow the bracelet to connect. The stampings on the clasp blades are always wrong as well, though the fakes have the Rolex ribbon faked quite well now.

Thank you again for taking the time to respond. I am also on the fence about it, and need to make a decision so I can contact the seller.

Here is another picture if it's any help.

it looks real IMO, but i've never seen one without patented on it. not to say it isn't real, but I haven't seen the variant before. it's possible it was made prior to being patented, but i'd imagine it'd still be marked pat. pend.

Bracelet is good, without patented is a variation...

Thank you all for taking the time to answer and puting my mind at ease!
