UG bracelet verification

Vanquish1551 · Nov 10, 2014

This bracelet appears original but the markings are different from the JB Champion UG bracelets I've seen to date. I would appreciate your thoughts on the authenticity of the bracelet. Looking for a bracelet for a 1970s Compax.

I only have an 18mm Gay Freres; you can see a few pictures here:

I'll get a picture of the clasp markings up shortly.
The bracelet on your link has 18mm lugs like mine - don't you need 19 or 20MM for a chrono?

I'd be very careful. This seller has sold fake Heuer bracelets on ebay.

My 18 mm JB Champion UG bracelet clearly states JB Champion on the folding clasp. The link I refer to above doesn't have the JB Champion inscription, but states made in USA. It seemed questionable, but the links appear very similar to my band. Refer to my avatar...

I agree, I'm pretty sure the correct size is 19mm for a chrono.

Hello,
The bracelet was already on Ebay, it sold for $845.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/161420421432?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
When I saw the bracelet back on the bay, I contact the seller. He reply the following : "same item ! high bidder returned it to me.."

There is another here :
