The Bracelet is definitely the wrong one for that period year.
Absolutely the wrong bracelet fitted to a W Serial GMT. Here are facts with pictures. Correct bracelets with clasp for a W Serial GMT. |

The clasp on the bracelet just looks wrong to me, that said i have a much newer version. the Crown on the clasp can only just been seen. Also I thought the buckle part looks too small, you can see the rear of the strap extends further than outside of the strap. I could be very wrong, but I just don,t like the look of it.
I think a few of the experts should jump in on this one. |

It looks to me that it is a newer strap than the watch was supplied with. I would ask for a better picture of the clasp, as it could have been buffed to death and it is impossible to see if the links have any signs of stretch. Also bear in mind that the bracelet only has 11 links, if you have a large wrist, you will need more, which will not be cheap.

Plainly, the bracelet is wrong. So, that leads me to question what else is wrong, if anything? Proceed with caution.
