Genuine 7206 bracelet?

Does this 7206 with 80 end links look authentic?

Thanks, I agree that it’s probably been serviced given the condition.

Authentic? Yes indeed.

Here is a link to help identify genuine 7206 bracelets.

Bracelet looks to be in great condition, I would hate to see what the price tag is

You can typically tell if these bracelets have been serviced by the rivets. Original rivets tend to be more of a flat dome. Newer rivets are a slightly higher dome. Very hard to tell unless you look at them side by side. In your photos it looks like some of the rivets on this bracelet have been replaced and some are original.

I first learned this from a bracelet servicer, and no matter the condition of each rivet if he had to replace just one, he would want to replace all of them so they match. It may not be 100% gospel but so far I've seen it to be true.
