Bracelet too shiny

Looks like it's been polished. Strange.

Not sure what flaw you see in the bracelet links??? The polished center links look like they were done amateurishly by the owner.

Agreed..... maybe be real and polished by an amateur.

Or it may be aftermarket.... can't tell for sure. As long as no Rolex wording or markings on it, its ok.

It doesn't look like an original bracelet at all. As mentioned above, the links do not appear to decrease in size, maybe it's the camera angle, but it definitely looks wrong. Either way, I have held off reporting it because I'm not 100% sure.

When you look at the other pictures, it shows that the bracelet does taper. It's been polished and reflects light at the camera, so it's harder to see. No reason to believe there is anything wrong with this watch.

Yup, now that I lok a little closer I notice it looks different depending on the photo you look at. Still, IMO the bracelet looks like crap but the watch is authentic. I guess I'm just a bit overzealous.

No worries... agree that the bracelet looks like crap but may be authentic.
