Do the newer bracelets (s/s, gold) come with a matte, satin finish on the back if the clasp, the underside of the snap? I have an older Crosswind Special (s/s) that shows a more shiny finish, such as stainless steel usually shows.

Yes they do.

If you aren't sure, then as suggested in your other thread on these bracelets, post photos and we'll soon tell you if they are real. I highly doubt that a TT bracelet is fake.

That may take some doing since I have to send these pics off shore then retrieve them. Let me work on it.

No idea what that means, but you can attach photos up to 250k directly to your posts (just scroll below the message window), no offshoring required. For large photos you will need a hosting site, and most of those are probably non Canadian servers, but not sure why that matters. Instructions here - viewtopic.php?f=5&t=453

best way to see if it is genuine 2 tone
looking from the side you can clearly see the thickness of the roled gold on the gold links

newer found a fake 2 tone that you actually can see this yet

my pics are to big I guess, will have to shrink(?) them....I am on a Playbook. Looking from the side, I would estimate the gold to be at least .010".
