just bought a new jubilee bracelet for my 16710, does this look right?

[hoot1987]

I just bought a brand new rolex Jubilee 62510H bracelet through a reputable dealer. They have to send the my GMT II 16710 back to RSC in New York. When it came back the new bracelet is already installed on the watch. I took the pin out to adjust the length and I noticed the bracelet pins doesnt have the 'tapered' section from the thread to the pin body. I checked all of them and it looks like the one picture with 'square' section between threads and pin body. Does this look right?

Links fixed (and pin/clasp look fine from here):

. . .

The bracelet studs are not tapered.

I thought the a genuine link screw should be tapered between the end of the screw threads to the link body?

Mine doesnt show the tapering compare to my oyster bracelet link screw...

According to post #19 on this page,

http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=222217

genuine link screw should have this 'shoulder' tapering and I confirmed that it is the case on all 3 of my submariner and explorer's bracelets link screws.

This new jubilee bracelet is the only one that doesnt have the tapered shoulder link screw, that is why I am bit confused.

Oyster band info you are reading,

So I take the tapering 'shoulder' link screws only applies to Oyster band and Jubilee link screws has a square 'shoulder' like most generic ones.
