Can anyone please help with this 18038 bracelet??

Hi there,
I've been searching to purchase a bracelet to go with a 18038 8.6 mill serial that I have from a while ago. I was told to get a 8385 with 55 end links. I recently bought this and everything seems ok to me but I wanted to see what you pros thought about it as I don't know much. The markings seemed like they are correct and the stretch of the bracelet was by far the best I've seen around. If anyone can chime in and give me your thoughts I would greatly appreciate it. I have 7 days to return if I'm not completely satisfied. Here are the pics below..

sorry for the thread revival here :)

I just bought a DD 18038 for my wife in a second hand jeweler in London.
I normaly do a lot of research on how to define what is genuine and what is fake, but with the DD, and the bracelet in specific, I'm pretty blank.

I think my wifes clasp looks like the one in post# 4 in this thread. Real sharp engravings and everything, however, it does have the square cutout at the hinge. (I realize that the one in post#4 has square cutout too, but I'm trying to figure when square is correct and when it's wrong)


From the looks of this thread, square isn't automatically wrong, however in this other thread, the conclusion semed to be different:

http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=116948

the clasp in post#3 in the link, looks sharp and nice to me, so I am confused what is the difference between the clasp in post#4 in this thread, and post#3 in the link.

if anyone can shed some light on this, I will greatly appreciate :)
