Rolex 78360 bracelet real or fake?

I’m not an expert here so I’ll need your advice, good RF’ers. Do you think this Rolex 78360 bracelet is real or fake?

Search on eBay:
ROLEX BRACCIALE 78360 Finali 558B Come Nuovo Gmt Submariner Explorer

He is a seller from Italy. I’d post the link but it won’t let me. Also won’t let me post pictures.

Only real red flag to me is the 78360 stamp on the link next to the endlink. Most pictures I find show the stamp rotated 90 degrees. Overall quality looks excellent though.

Thank you in advance!

Just so you're aware this is not the place to discuss fakes. I would say buying from eBay will only bring risks.

Well crap, my apologies. Is there a section of RF that allows users to help other users authenticate things?

Yes but without links or pictures I am not sure how this could even happen.

Nothing too off there. Long time seller, lots of Rolex bits n'pieces sold. Curious if he has another account to sell watches.

Thanks! We’ll see in a couple weeks. I went ahead and ordered it. Does the 78360 direction on the links bother anyone else or is this common?

Since he listed more than one I'd be asking for pics of the actual bracelet you'll be receiving

Rolex 78360 bracelet real or fake?

Got it! It came way faster than I thought. After a thorough inspection I’m pretty satisfied. Even the 78360 is in the correct direction, although the online photos showed different. I even pulled out the screws and it looks great. See pictures below. What are your thoughts?









Here’s a verified genuine Tudor bracelet 78400/605 to compare that I also own. Really does seem like a legit Rolex Bracelet.



Here’s a side by side of the two screws. They’re ever so slightly different but still feels like similar quality. I’ve read that it must have a chamfer between the threads and the main shaft and it does.
