How to spot a fake BB58 steel bracelet?

[xxBlack]

Hello,

i have a Gen BB58 and want to buy the steel bracelet. I found an offer on Chrono24. It’s a private seller who is asking 700€. Here are the pics: For me it looks real but just want to be sure + I pick it up today what should I look for? What are the tells ? (Maybe he is showing the real in the pic but is selling a rep) I don’t believe it but I don’t want to waste 700€

You'll need to see the markings/engravings on the inside of the clasp. You stand a much better chance of a definitive answer here than on a fb group

Okay I see the ZF has a gap on the clasp. Kinda easy to see. Anything else ?

Is there any better bracelet beside ZF? If I’m right the ZF is the best rep for BB58 right ?

Yep. I realized it’s better to ask people who actually own a ZF BB58

I’m no expert but I recall seeing a comparison thread (I think it was Rep vs. Gen Black Bay GMT.) one difference was that the top of the hinged side pieces on the safety catch are polished on the Gen and brushed on the Rep. I’ll try to find the thread.

the only difference lies in the ceramic spheres ... which in the wrapped replica bracelet remain stuck and never come out ... even today I don't know how to solve this problem ..

I have 3 genuines tudor and i can tell you that the most obvious thing is the engraving when the brack is opened. From the last photo (when you aske about ZF ceramic), if is come from the seller, we can see the beginning of the engraving, it look fake : too muche simple, not deep. But you need better photo of the engraving to check it properly

I found the thread that compares Gen vs. Rep. GMT.

Scroll down to Section 4, which is the comparison of bracelets.
