Submariner verification

Hi, can someone please help me verify if everything/anything is authentic on this watch. Is the bracelet aftermarket? I apologize if the pictures are too small and can upload bigger individual pictures if needed. TIA

Even with poor photos that looks good to me.
A very nice classic submariner.
Can you get the date code from the clasp on the bracelet??
I am sure other will pipe in too.

Regards

Bracelet was, watch may be +/- some months, so watch "may" be 2006?
If you get serial number from between lugs at 6 we can confirm exactly the year,

I'll get that for you. I'm sorry with all the questions as I'm completely new to this. The dial says t<25 which is tritium, is that correct? Were tritium dials still produced in 2005-2006?

Yes "T" is tritium
No, I am sure Rolex already phased out TRITIUM by 2000 for Luminova.

I "think" the bracelet is genuine but from a 16610 Submariner, based on 93250 code.
Hence a replacement (later) bracelet?

1990
So Tritium is correct on dial.
But I believe bracelet is a replacement based on date and code!

Hope that helps

I believe E serials were introduced around 1990.

Edit - Gladiator beat me to it.

Close up of the inner clasp is needed to verify the band and inside the endlinks.

Requested. I see the endlinks are marked 458b from one of the pictures.
