newby question about a datejust bracelet 3 point crown

[kangarolafox]

Hi there, I m an absolute newby when it comes to Rolex watches so please go easy on me :)
I have been trying to find some info for a while and have had no luck. My search has led me to this forum. I have been offered a gold rolex oyster perpetual datejust in lieu of money owed to me. The watch itself appears to be real. I have found many useful articles on determining if it is fake and have concluded it is most likely real. The bracelet however I'm not so sure. In fact if I were a gambling man I would say it is a fake. Instead of the 5 point crown which appears on every rolex - real and fake, the bracelet has a 3 point crown. My question is has anybody ever seen anything like this ?
Unfortunately I don't have a picture to post.
I can possibly ask to get it back to take some pics but thought I would just ask the question for now.
Many thanks
