I have just got a D2332 with a brown croc strap. However, I am considering buying a steel bracelet for everyday wear.
How do I know the ones an ebay are real?
I know this guy has posted this separately but how can I be sure it is genuine?
I look forward to any advice.

You've done the right thing posting the link here.

I don't consider myself knowledgeable on bracelets so I won't comment but there are experts on here who can and no doubt will.

It's little things like flat vs round heads to the screws which give away the fakes.

The seller is a member here.

Bracelet doesn't look fake to me from this (bad) photos, BUT 442A should have raised wings on the safety clasp and different font on the clasp.
I'd like to hear a whole story and see better photos.

Now this one has square ends and a where the numbers are looks awfully unpolished.
Any comments

Here is the original ad again with more photos.
The spare links look strange.
Any comments?

I forgot to add the links.
This one appears to have gold links at the end and no curved piece.

Seller said that he made a mistake with ref#, it's 431A which is correct for that bracelet.
Some end links are straight some are curved - depends on a watch model.
It's difficult to be sure in bracelet authenticity without hi-res photos.

Thanks, He says it came of a D23322 when he bought a 2 tone for it, so I know it will fit.
My next question is do I get a steel or pay the extra and get a 2 tone?
Both are available at the moment on the links above in this string.
Any more advice?

Some people like TT bracelets, some want to attenuate TT head with SS bracelet.
It's your watch, you have to choose between SS and TT, not me. :)

Thanks for all the advice but I am going to spend $1000 on a bracelet I might aswell put that to buying another whole watch!!
