Rolex SS oval link jubilee bracelet "Hecho en Mexico"
Was thinking about bidding on this on, ebay, what caught my eye is on the clasp area is has a "14K" stamp, not sure why an SS bracelet would have that? I'll let the experts chime in.
This is the listing as TRF won't let me upload a pic. https://www.ebay.com/itm/19248794618....N36.S1.R1.TR1 |

If it matters, the end links are not correct - originals weren't stamped 555. The top of the clasp with the coronet is correct for a Mexican bracelet but the 14k stamp should not be on that blade. The oval-link bracelet sections look correct. The bracelet is not in very good condition with excessive stretch and incorrect parts.

A bit of a mismatch as stated

...Eddie the flipper was looking at his junk drawer one day and thought to himself; "hey! I've got enough crap in here to make myself one of those high value vintage Rolex bracelets!" :)

Yes, bunch of parts thrown together. Chances are all parts are correct Rolex parts (though I have my doubts about the end pieces). 14K on the blade refers to a 14K center links on a two tone Jubilee bracelet that originally came with this clasp
