1603 Question

I bought a 1978 1603 Datejust. I know the bracelet and clasp are not original to the watch, but I'm wondering if the bracelet is authentic. Can any of you experts chime in?

Can't comment on its authenticity but that is an amazing amount of stretch on that jubilee!

I think stretch looks cool. It's not too bad.

Nice vintage watch.
You may want to repost in vintage.
The bracelet for what it is, is in good shape IMO.

Thank you, landroverking. I have a Range Rover, ironically. LOL. Does the dial look original to you guys, or does it look refinished?

I'm pretty good with 16XX series, honestly can't tell if dial is repaint from the photo and mean no disrespect.

The bracelet is not original for a 1978 1603, is it?
