I received this beads of rice bracelet recently from an ebay seller and I cant help but think its not genuine despite the assurances from the seller that it is Here are some pics.....any thoughts?
Post a closeup of where it fits to the endlink? and how much did you pay, and from whom? and did he have other bracelets or just this one?
A couple of close ups. Seller is from the UK, this was the only bracelet he was selling and paid £110
Endlinks look very different to my BoR endlinks, but maybe they're a different version, the 5 sets I have don't look like that though
There is much debate about that bracelet. Many think it's fake. Both Desmond and I both have one. He believes it might be a later make. I don't know enough to have an opinion either way.
Yes I agree, I dont think the endlinks could be Omega as they feel and look too cheap. Also the bracelet feels quite light and it doesnt have the feel of Omega quality about it Thats very interesting because the seller is saying something similar
I've had similar end pieces on seven rows as well and have no doubt they were genuine. I don't know why anyone would go to the trouble to tool up to make ends like this for a counterfeit, when the typical style ends would be easier to make.
It is real. Yes that is exactly the way the old bracelets are supposed to feel. They were not such a big deal back then.
