Hello, do you think that the bracelet in the picture is authentic? The watch is an Seamaster Jedi. Thanks for help!

Yes I think so. What are your doubts?

I've never seen endlinks 174 and the clasp has no ref number. Another weird thing for me, not being an expert on Omega, the serial number starts with an R, I knew there are only numbers. Am I wrong?

IIRC the "R" indicates a replacement part on these movements. There are also known examples of "R" serialized cal 861s.

First time I heard that..if I did not read that and seen an Omega with that inscription I would have sad that is probably fake. Always room for learning...
