What the heck kind of bracelet is this? (Rolex 18238)
I saw this monstrosity on eBay. The bezel is obviously bananas and aftermarket, but what's up with the bracelet? It's at least pretend Rolex, but I've never seen a 3 metal one like this. Is this thing real?

This is on what's purportedly a 36mm day-date. Would a pearlmaster bracelet fit?

Ha, the Pearlmaster. Price rivalled only by ugliness. The jewelled toad of modern PM Rolex!

It’s trying to represent a Pearlmaster 18948, but with flaws…

Its a masterpiece "newer" version Tridor bracelet. But as mentioned before, this full "masterpiece" is fake
Usually this are 18958 Reference Day Dates |

Masterpieces were always off ducks - and the Tridor even more-so.
I wouldn’t jump at saying fake. Here is a Z s/n 18948 example - 39mm MOP. Dial is surprising to many. Bracelet too. Photo from the internet.  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

The mid-case and movement may be correct, but the dial and bezel appear not to be by Rolex.
Furthermore, I do not like the marks on that clasp and so believe the bracelet also to be wrong.

The back of the case photo on the OP’s example is not consistent with what I’ve seen on other 18948’s.
