I recently saw a video by Breitlingsource on youtube doing a review on a fake Ling. He mentioned that on the bracelets, the inside surfaces of the deployants are always polished. I'm not sure if he meant for the Pilots bracelet or for all bracelets, even the Pro II.

Can anyone shed a little more light onto this please?

There are fake Colt Autos, but they are very crappy.
Genuine bracelets are not polished underneath deployants.

Apologies but I missed your original question in the title about Colt replicas.

As BN says, they do exist but are very poor. The pearl is all wrong and the fakers have used the wrong case.

No worries. The part that really got me was when he said they are polished on the backside of the deployants. I was like WHAT?!? :guns:

I assume Nelson is referring to the stamping of the logo being visible on the underside of the clasp rather than the gen being polished.
