1969 6251H is it real?

I bought this bracelet off eBay from a seller in S. Korea. I got it for my 70 1675. I always liked the look of the jubilee on a GMT so I thought, why not. When I got the bracelet I noticed that it was not stamped with the model number. I inquired and the seller told me that the early models were not stamped 6251h....OK, I can see that. I checked the inet and that seemed to be plausible. The next thing I noticed was that the date was engraved and not stamped into the clasp.....is this correct? I thought Rolex date stamped during that period? Am I losing my mind? The item number on eBay is 251890840360

Thanks for you help!

Looks like you have a bracelet with different sections.
My eyes are not the greatest so would like to see better pictures. On the last picture, the right side section is folded link and the left side is a "D link" type section.

The ebay auction clearly depicts a folded link Jubilee bracelet ( both sides of the clasp). In my opinion, the links look rather large. Also, the date engravings should be stamped on the clasp, not engraved. This style of bracelet is one of the types that are known to be counterfeited.

On the Ebay auction, it is clearly a folded link bracelet..

This particular stamping has been discussed before as well..
