SMP Bond Bracelet - Gen or Rep?

[pjsayer]

I have a friend offering me this bracelet as 'aftermarket'. Can anyone shed any light on whether it's gen or rep??? TIA

to me it looks stiff, must be a REP!
cause it should look curvy and rounded (overall look of the bracelet)

I don't know why but the clasp look rep-ish to me..

Definitely looks rep also. The clasp markings are wrong, it should say 'swiss made' underneath 'stainless steel' and the bracelet number at the top of these. Also the clasp engravings are wrong, should be deeper and more spread out; 'Seamaster' is much smaller and 'Omega' is wider etc.

Yeap it looks rep to me also... The clasp isnt good.

engravings should be deeper and fonts are quite bigger on the gen though

I'm pretty sure it's a rep because the links are too flat (see my gen below). I know you have some gens, so you should know the rep bracelet I have here won't fit my gen because the lug holes are in a different spot. I haven't seen a rep bracelet fit a gen SMP yet (but I would love to know of one ).

IMO 100% rep...look at the end links, they are another obvious tell.

From the 2nd photo, the end links look gen that came from the newer SMP.

Thanks for the input guys - I think I'll pass on this one. Mind you it does look like quite a good rep bracelet to my untrained eyes, but not worth the amount my friend is asking for...

Here are some gen photos. Ones from an older 2531 smp, the other two are later. Notice the lips on the newer generation end links...

Bracelets can also be referenced by the 8xx models.
