Need some help please
I found this Rolex steel bracelet today. It was brought to an antique dealer friend of mine and I am taking a chance on it. I now own it
The clamp is marked Rolex Registered Swiss Made Steelinox D12 78753 62523H.16 with 455b end links
Is the bracelet real or a knock off?
It has come apart on one end
I have no idea whether or not it is real
Thanks for the help

Pretty sure it’s fake

I agree don’t recognise that bracelet number, print on the blade is not in the same place as images from vintage dealer sites. Supposed to be 1979 with D12 marking.
Here’s one sold here a few years ago

Looks okay to me. These came on Yacht-Masters, and I don't think they were often faked.

78753 would/should refer to gold and steel combined. Last digit is materials No?

fake and an easy tell because it has solid center links.

I think the clasp is legit from a TT jubilee.

The whole thing is fake, even the clasp.
