Hi,

So im on the hunt for a bracelet for my SA. I would like a pro 2 135A for the watch but its hard to tell whats the real deal and whats rep from only pics.
First off we got a bracelet that i saw listed on ebay and it said 135A but on the pictures it was a 136A so i contacted the seller about this and he told me that he must have uploaded the wrong picture but he had two 135A available. I asked for pictures and he sent me a few pictures taken from this thread viewtopic.php?f=3&t=41207 And i had actually been in contact with H2F prior to this, about that bracelet but H2F told me it was not available so i told the seller that im backing off that deal and the seller handed me some other pictures stating that this is the actual pictures of the bracelet.

Im not going to do business with this guy since he already messed up my trust. But just for fun is this actually authentic? Looks abit off to me.

And the second bracelet comes from another seller.

Could you guys point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance!

thanks for your respond. well the first one i cannot trust since he alredy made a fool out of himself. (How can i trust that it really is the bracelet he will send me?)
And the second one looked abit off to me aswell but i thought it might just be the light in the pics.

Hmm the second set of pics looks like a fake one.
The screws and blank ends are too deep and dome like. The genuine are flatter and flusher with the side of the link.
plus, on the clasp, the wings logo looks too narrow. The wings should be more spread out.

Agreed.

I don't have anywhere near the confidence of our new member that the second one is real.

So i bought a gen bracelet and i compared it with the pictures in this thread. Both bracelets on the pictures are fake! The screws holding the links together is a tell, the end link that attaches the watch is just sloppy not even finished and the making of the fake bracelet is dated to w4607 (week 46, year 2007) not sure if thats a known fake manufacturing date? But thats my conclusion since both of the bracelet in the pics have it stamped on the inside.
