Hello all,
On my recent travels I purchased a very nice R 820 AD with a Gay Freres bracelet. However I think it's a ref 11 bead of rice, but don't recognise the clasp as regular ref 11. What do you think? Endpieces are not marked, and a tad narrow in my opinion for the watch. Do you think the bracelet was original to the watch?
Also, for some reason the endpieces are too big for my 666 AD Ingenieur, as I have tried it, and doesn't fit.
Thanks,
Dan
A lot about that bracelet does not look right - at least to my eye. It could just be the photo/angles they were taken at...
The clasp design/layout ive not seen before, and the deer and text on the inside of the clasp looks very strange...?
Finally, the endlinks dont look to be stamped underneath with any code - or are they?
This is all just comparing to the 8 that I have here in front of me (and I could be wrong of course!).
Ive never heard of someone faking GF bracelets ?! Though they are getting to a point where it could turn lucrative, particularly for UG/Rolex/Heuer etc...
Any other opinions?
