Isn't it more important to ask who built it?

You need to send the braclet out to Young to fix the stretch.

It's a fake watch my man. If it's real gold then sell it to a leprechaun

I understood it is not a Rolex. But it is surprising that a fake watch has been made by 18k Gold

Why do you say that, it weighs a whopping 44 grams so it must be gold.

It may weigh 44 grams, but it ain't gold. I've worked with all gold from 8k to 24k and that ain't gold.
BTW, I have a $2 cheap fake Presidential bracelet that has the exact same gold look and also weighs the same as if it were gold. Weight means nothing.
