Nicely done! I, too, have been looking for a solid and clean example for my '67 5512, and have seen nothing for less that $1,500....from a trusted seller.

To me the 7206 engraving looks suspect and the 58 engraving on the end link is half gone from polishing. A dull polish on the backside is ok but they went for a mirror finish.

Could the 7206 engraving be like this from the polish?

I would like to see some photos of the clasp, esp from the side. Also something is not right with the 7206 engraving.

Im sorry, 1 picture isnt enough to go off of. Looks like the bracelet has some stretch to it though. Need pics of the back side, the clasp blades and the end links

It's missing 2 links. They should have 13 total. This one looks better than the first one though in terms of correctness

Looks good to me as well. I have a seven inch wrist and 12 links on these works fine for me. I always look at the clasp for tool marks to see if its put together. The end links were swapped or repaired based on the crimping but thats not a big deal.
