Genuine Rolex Links?

Are these genuine Rolex links? If so, they seem like they'd be a good deal based on the prices I've seen on the "For Sale" sections of the forum.

What does an authentic screw head look like? Can you post a photo?

Thanks.

I don't have a photo sorry, but maybe other members do. You are looking for where the thread starts on the screw shaft. Does it just start or is their a nice (angled ) beveled edged gap and then the threading starts , you need a loupe to see. You want the later.

I just had another look at them and noticed their are two photos. These are not original new style solid links as the seller states. That is a red flag to start, they are hollow old style and you need to see the screw, that's the only way to tell if real for sure, if you have the new band they do not fit, the screw is to thick.

These are not the newer style solid links. These are hollow, so they will not fit the newer sport model watches as the seller states.
