First of all, I hope this post doesn't violate TRF policy. I checked the policy here and I don't believe it does. I need some help making sure a Rolex 18/SS jubilee bracelet that I purchased is indeed authentic. The bracelet is a N serial 62523 with 455B end pieces which is for a 16233 Datejust. I have no doubts that the clasp and end pieces are authentic but I don't know how to evaluate the jubilee links. I attached some photos and I would appreciate any knowledgeable feedback.

Very difficult to tell by the pictures but it looks ok to me.

The crest looks good as well.

The two link screws in your first picture seem to stick out a bit, make sure they are screws and not pins.

The links use screws not pins. If there are any specific picture angles that can best evaluate its authenticity let me know and I will take them and post them.

I don't own one so I am no expert...but.....should the last central links onto the clasp be Steel when all the other central links are Gold?....also, not picking fault, but the screws look like they have "backed out" a bit...maybe the bracelet was in the process of adjustment and they had not been fully tightened....other than that it looks good (and tight) to me

If you have doubts I'd suggest you go to an AD to have it authenticated.

I am going to have it looked over later this week, but in the mean time wanted your opinions. Past experience has proven that some people on this forum know more than ADs.
