Rolex Two-Tone Rivet Bracelet Genuine?

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to get people's opinion on whether this band is genuine or not?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

7206 comes as two-tone as well. There’s even US made C-I bracelets in two-tone.

This is the message the seller had sent me if it makes any clarity in hopes its authentic LOL

It was purchased from a reputable dealer. The links are not Gold they are Gold wrapped what Rolex calls plating. The markings on the band and clasp indicate that it is Rolex. I assure we do not sell fakes. The buyer that acquired this band had over 50 years of Rolex experience.

If it had been Rolesor, solid gold links the cost would have been between $800 to $1000 range.

I have sold at least 6 of this model band and have had no issues.

The seller is obviously clueless. Just look at that laser etched clasp. . . it's terrible. . . and a Z code clasp on a rivet bracelet, come on. And how about that coronet on the top of the clasp...wrong too.

It looks like someone in Guangzhou put the Rolex catalog too near the Tudor catalog and the wrong parts got joined together.

Things like this happen when you produce 10,000 bracelets a week.

Maybe the OP sell these bracelets and is testing the waters here on TRF to see if experts can pick out his counterfeit?

This also falls into the "if it's too good to be true, it probably is" category. For 2020, let's resolve to use common sense and ask questions before making purchases.

However, it's infuriating that the seller is doubling down on his false claims after being called out on his fakery. And I agree that it may be necessary to open a case with eBay.

just thought i'd provide an update...

so basically the seller is refusing to provide me a refund because he claims the band is scratched because it moved around in the box..i packed it in the same bubblewrap bag he provided lol..

seller said that he'd partially refund me (taking $50 claiming it needs to be polished and doesn't provide pictures). so anyone really dealing with this seller (leemst) please beware..seems like he is running some sort of scam trying to pocket $50.

at this point im waiting to escalate the return to ebay

Are you kidding?? The bracelet isn't even WORTH $50, let alone worth the effort of polishing the that piece of junk! And Claven2 is right. The fact that it's fake and was being sold as genuine negates any of this nonsense the seller is trying to pull. Ugh. I hate these thieving scam-artists who just heap one lie on top of another!

(Sorry, I haven't had any coffee today and I may be a little, um, on edge!)

Report this business to the Better Business Bureau and send a letter off to Rolex Headquarters.

Selling counterfeit, Trademark protected products is a crime.
