Thoughts on BOR bracelet please.

Arcadianred · Jan 26, 2023

Hi,
I've come across the attached bracelet which is being sold as a 1036 but from looking ar he stamp it looks more like 1030 ? Would be posdible to have any general thoughts on authenticity/ condition as I'm totally new to this.

Many Thanks

You'd make it easier for us if you posted the pictures separately so they can be enlarged, but tbh I don't think that's necessary - the bracelet is legit. It does have quite some stretch, it seems. Most BoRs do, but this is on the stretchy side of life. If the price reflects this though and you're ok with it: go for it.

Many thanks for this. I'll remember to post individual pictures in the future. I wasn't sure about the ref stamp as it looks like 1030 rather than the 1036 that I want. Presumably the stretch is reflected in "gaps" around the individual BOR? For info the price is $247.

The upper edge of the "6" might have worn or it was polished away, but there's no such thing as an 1030 bracelet.

Yes, the gaps get a bit bigger and it allows the links to move around, which often makes the bravelet look a little wonky. For this condition, I'd consider 250$ a bit steep, but not excessively so. Rather than to save 20$ I'd look for a nicer example to enjoy it more. In a few years time you'll probably not look at your wrist and think "Damn, I could've saved 20$". But you might very well think "If only I had opted for a nicer example".

By the way, it's not just the 1036 that's available - 1502, 1036, 8220, 3010 are virtually identical. Endlinks can be 11, 511 (or unnumbered).
