Hello Friends,

I am in the process of thinking of purchasing a used Jubilee 2 tone bracelet for my Rolex oyster perpetual datejust and need your advice if this bracelet is authentic. Thanks in advance for your help.

Best Regards,

Peter

Fake vs. Real Rolex Serial Numbers

The serial and model numbers on a genuine Rolex are deep and perfectly marked in solid, very fine lines that will shine in the light at an angle like a diamond cut edge. Conversely, the numbers on many fake, or replica watches, are typically made up of faint tiny dots due to a lower quality marking process . In other cases, these numbers on counterfeit watches will have a sandy-like appearance from being “acid etched” as shown in the photo above on the left.

Can you post closeup shots of the clasp stamping and the underside of the endlinks?
 
I decided to back out of this... another member from another board clearly showed me that this bracelet has seen it's days.

Thanks for the help!
Cheers...

FYI...here is what my Rolex guru told me...

"It's genuine, made for the US market, so less valuable than the stuff made in Swisserland. It's in reasonably good condition, not too much stretch, price is high though - a similar condition bracelet sold for $300 at auction from a very reputable seller.

There's a little less stretch in the one you linked, $450 would be a better price, not sure you'll get him down as low as that though, certainly not worth more than $550 absolute tops."
 
Doesn't look right to me either... the center links look like they are folded over rather than solid. Links are way too loose. This looks jakey to me...

He was asking $700 but no longer interested due to bad links. I was able to bring the price down but decided to back out.

If you have other sources where I can purchase a jubilee for less than 500, I am definitely interested. Thanks for your input.

The style of the Jubilee bracelet links has changed over the years, but they can be categorized into four main styles and there’s an interesting design detail to note depending on where the bracelets were made. Swiss-made Jubilee bracelets until 1974 had folded-style links while those made in the USA or Mexico (more on that later) during the same time had oval-style links. These were eventually replaced by D-style links in the mid 1970s, finally followed by the solid-style link in the mid 2000s. [h=4]Evolution of Jubilee Bracelet Link Styles[/h]
Jubilee Link StyleApprox. Production Years
Swiss-Made Folded Link (ref. 6251)1950s – 1970s
USA/Mexican-Made Oval Link1950s – 1970s
Swiss-Made D Link1970s – 2000s
Swiss-Made Solid Link2000s – Present

I saw your thread on the other forum too. I’m glad you were able to get what you wanted, the hunt was tough, but it paid off. That set up looks great.
