    Hi all,

    Received a speedy today, and my first thought was "the bracelet doesn't look right". The end links are unmarked and the spring bar divots don't look right. I owned a 1498 recently and this seems lighter. One of the links is marked with GBF (?).

    Thoughts?

    The spring bar cut outs look like they were done with teeny tiny tin snips.

    Thought I'd reply to this since I'm selling the band. (I hate bracelets). The end links are indeed authentic---the 842's put in the 3590.50 models looked like this. A quick search for early 90's 842 end links look identical.
