Rolex GMT Master II Ebay
Hey guys, looking at this GMT on eBay.. No bids thus far and good price but looking closely at the bracelet and it looks a bit suspicious to me.. I am no expert by any means but would value your opinion. Thanks!

The bracelet definitely looks fake.
The coronet on the clasp is horrible. The bracelet has a diver's extension. The watch head actually looks pretty good to me, but I don't claim to be an expert. The cyclops looks a little weird, but I'm not familiar with every nuance of every model. These are just my observations, for whatever they are worth

Yeah my thoughts exactly.. I thought the head looked okay.. But the bracelet just looked really bad.. A divers extension for a GMT should be a give away.. And comparing it to other 93150 bracelets the stamps look really poor.. Thanks for your input!

Seller said he had his watch makers check the bracelet and they said it was genuine and then took it to a rolex AD and they also said it was genuine.. What do you guys think?

I say the seller is a liar, but that's just my opinion.

Okay, I do value the opinions of those more expert than myself, but please allow me to introduce into evidence the two blow-up photos below.
If the consensus is that these elements of the bracelet are genuine, then I will have learned something valuable today.

The most obvious part on the fake bracelet IMO was the divers extension.. It looked terrible and the other stamping on the bracelet looked really poor as well.. Oh well hopefully for the sake of the buyer it was okay! Thanks for all your input!

I don't see any problem with it, other than it is not new and mint. and to my knowledge GMT was available with option of this bracelet.

The clasp stampings don't look like any genuine Rolex I've ever seen, but what the hey, Grady is just a cog in the wheel of WISdom.
