78360 bracelet authentication

Hi Fellow watch lovers,
I recently bought a 78360 bracelet from online seller, i like to have your opinions on its authenyicity.
whats in question to me: the clasp do not have “78360”model number and production year code.
On its first link near end links, only one side has "78360".

Thank you

This bracelet appears to have been rebuilt with different parts to make a whole.

As long as there is minimal wear/stretch, it should last a long time. It is missing the typical date code and reference stamps on the clasp, so that is an odd blade.

Appears to be am early 1970s blade or blades. I've seen them from that era that are missing model numbers and/or year codes.

Both bracelet sections should be stamped 78360 on the last link.

It is just a guess on what is going on but as Tools mentioned, it has probably been repaired in the past and pieced together with parts.
