97200 Bracelet Help!

I purchased a genuine 97200 bracelet off Chrono24 from Italy. Arrived today.

Clap code is 1LD, but both SELs are engraved 4RC. I know CF used 1LD at one point but with different SEL engravings.

Thoughts on bracelet? Brushing looks genuine, weight is there and feels great, glidelock looks clean along with the smoothness. I’ve had a couple rep 97200s VSF, CF, and ARF and none “feel” or look as good as this one

Bump for help

Genuine Rolex 97200 bracelets have quite a few clasp codes, with 1LD being one of them. Rep factories replicate whichever model they had during that time.

Same applies to dials, inserts, etc..
Most notably is Submariner with "floating m" and also the Hulk 116610LV dials in various Mk editions ranging from brighter to darker green tones.

Thank you. From the pictures what’s your overall thoughts?

Unless it's in extremely high resolution, it's difficult to tell through photos alone. Your photos are quite grainy, which makes everything look really bad... Including your finger nails.

You can check it this way -

On the ARF 1LD clasp, the "beak" is constructed in a wrong way. It's one piece, where the Gen (or VSF) is made of two pieces. See pics below - red circle is ARF, green is VSF (Gen-like).

Additionally, my ARF end links have "Z1R".
