Rolex 14k Jubilee Bracelet

Hi ! I'm new here and though you guys could help me with this one haha

I bought a jubilee bracelet on eBay to replaced my worn out bracelet on my Rolex
But the clasp on it seems very weird to me on the picture and not sure the model number fits as well, The Hallmark doesn't fit either, I'm pretty sure it's a fake I just bought, I'm I wrong ? Would really appreciate the help cause I'm really stuck on this one.

I bought a Root Beer GMT in 1985 which had a 14k Jubilee bracelet on it.

Yeah I love those jubilee bracelets, My datejust from 1971 came with a 18k jubilee which is the wrong one and since back then they had 14k bezels and bracelets, So wanted to buy a 14k one to match it but I think my luck ran out haha

If you are trying to show a 14k bracelet, you may have posted the wrong photo.

As far as I know, the 14k stuff was only for north america for tax reasons, the rest of the world had 18k all the time. Plenty of countries in Europe have/had laws prohibiting the sell of gold with lower gold content than 18k (Sweden for instance). So maybe your watch was initially sold somewhere else? Then 18k is correct.

For a watch purchased in North America, there is Joske's, C & I and other companies that produced them in USA, Canada and Mexico. You'll see 14K trim on the blades or maybe just the Rolex logo with a crown that has 1 dot on the crown for gold and stainless. They are oval link bracelets, not the D-shaped link you see on Swiss versions, like you have posted above (6251H). That is definitely for a Swiss watch purchase. You may have an oval link bracelet portion that may have had the clasp replaced with the Swiss clasp. Pictures of the entire bracelet would help. This looks like mine:

This is another option from Joske's (Hecho en Mexico) and notice the dots above the crown. Only one.

CrossSider, you mentioned a hallmark, and seeking a 14k Jubilee, but your photo is of a “Steelinox” clasp.

So … ?

More pics always help

Rolex 14k\steel bracelet

Hi everyone! Thanks everyone for the replies

I forgot to mention that it’s a 14k \ steel bracelet

It is indeed an oval USA bracelet which the clasp as been replaced for a Swiss one, So the bracelet is Orignial-ish, At least it’s not a fake haha

Thank you again everyone ! Would have posted more pictures but my iPad refuses to do so haha
