I am looking at this bracelet, but the logo looks a bit “off”.
Though, I have seen a lot of variations of the logos on the 70s/80s bracelets.

What do you think?

Thanks

Harley a crisp stamp

Hard to tell if it’s a blurry photo or bad stamp.

dricig · 23 December 2019, 01:20 AM

That whole thing looks wrong.
Half of the X is missing.

What did they do, spray paint the gold on the bracelet? LOL

Its a fake bracelet

Here's a real one from circa 1988...

Am not an expert but comparing to one of mine which is over twenty years old the "ROLEX" is off centre (offset to the left) also it looks too blurred ie the detail is not crisp enough.
I would strongly suggest you have a fake. Did someone sell it to you as being the genuine article?

On my TT endlinks the B follows the 455 (455B), the B is not printed under the 455.

The end links stamping is definitely wrong.

Yup!
On other fake ones I’ve seen, the B is underneath as well. I’m no expert but I think that’s fake

Thanks all. It was offered to me to buy, but smelled wrong.

freefly · 23 December 2019, 05:21 AM

Garbage.

Tools · 23 December 2019, 05:25 AM

Looks fake to me.

PRSWILL · 24 December 2019, 05:24 AM

Total fake the stamp and numbering are way off.

Thanks for all the input. I found another candidate, but I don’t like the way the “50” stamp looks. While there aren’t many photo references, the ones I’ve seen, the top of the 5 looks straight. This one has a little bend.
The seller has great feedback, but sometimes they don’t know what they’re selling. His response when I asked if it looked fishy to him:

It's likely due to FG using an engraving end mill on their cnc mill rather than using a cnc engraver.

Any thoughts?

Here’s a decent ref from an auction a while back
