I don’t believe it’s real.

The stamped identification on the underside of the clasp just doesn’t look right to me. Similarly, the endlinks undersides look a little crude, as is the overhanging Omega on the clasp.

Having said all of that, I am not the bracelet expert that others here are.

Maybe it’s just that someone ‘repaired’ a correct but deteriorated bracelet, maybe with a repro clasp?

The endlinks have nothing to do with the bracelet

the clasp might be ok but the whole bracelet is a put together from leftover parts as u can see on the pic of the under site left. Baracelets had always 8 fixed links and 4+6 removable spring links. Here 3 fixed links are missing.
also if it would be a early transition 7077/7912
It would have other spring links and the fixed link would be solid and not folded.

hope that helps a bit

Thank you all for the great advice.
It was helpful.

Is it Franken bracelet instead of losing three links from full links status?

Thanks!!

you can clearly see the tool marks on the link between spring and fixed link. the fixed links were intended to shorten the bracelet, why should one choose to remove a fix link and even destroy the look by creating a step on side of the bracelet. .... think about it

Why did you pull out the inside instead of the end link side....
That's an astute observation.

Thanks!!
