Is this Rolex "Zephyr" c. 1962 authentic?

Hello,

I can buy this watch for $900 at a pawn shop, It looks similar to the ones I've seen online, and since it's not that expensive I really doubt It would be a replica, but I'd still like you guys to tell me if it looks fake or not and if $900 would be a good price. I don't want to send it to a RSC only to have it confiscated...

The only thing that looks suspicious is that the watch strap says it was made in the US, but I read in these forums that sometimes in fact the straps were made here in the US.

Overall it looks pretty good to me, the dial shows some age which tells me that it is most likely original and not a refinish. As for the bracelet, Rolex did make some bracelets in the us and they were known as american jubilees/ bracelets. Hopefully somebody who knows a bit more than me will chime in, but to me the watch looks very legit and for $900.00 it's a great deal! I say go for it

The band is a USA oval link bracelet 14k trim should be written on the clasp it's absolutely original but these bands stretch a lot due to the design.. The watch looks good. Good price.

Looks like an old vintage Zephyr to me.
