1680 Bracelet Me thinks?

Now I know plenty of you are ready to burn me at the stake. This is against the Rolex law. No solid gold band on a two tone.
I was just curious of your thoughts and opinions. Obviously it is Solid Gold, but I don't see any markings on the end links.
It does have the divers extension.
Thank you in advance.














64 sided die

I also noticed the end links don't come off?
There is no marking on the inside of the end link either.

You're asking if it's authentic or if it looks good? Not sure on the former (steel 9315 bracelets for sure need markings, but I don't know about the gold ones at all). On the latter...it looks awful. Sorry John!

My question is
Is it legit?
I know it looks ugly on the two tone to you guys.

Just curious if the bracelet itself is any good.

The end links don’t look right. Too thin. I could be wrong but I understood the 18k end links to be thick, and have a stamping on the inside of the end, where it meets the spring bar (you’d have to remove it from the watch head to see it).
Also, did it only come with nine links? That’s incredibly short, and it looks painfully tight on your wrist.
And, I’m sorry, too, but I agree with Styles!

X2 regarding the look of solid gold on two-tone head. That would not be for me.

For comparison’s sake, here’s a legit clasp



And yours...



You’ll see the mark that’s missing.

Because it may be aftermarket and well worn, you might want to have the clasp’s blade hinge pins replaced as well as pins connecting to the bracelet links.

If the endlinks are pinned to the bracelet links then they also need to be replaced.

Any single pin could fail and you’d have a catastrophe for the watch head.

After doing some digging. I came across this listing. Looks to match up. Even the pin. 1 pin I have In the clasp is stainless just like version here. Same hallmarks as well.
