Just inherited a Rolex Chronograph Oyster Perpetual - Real or Fake?

Those are essentially variations on solid end links. Regardless, they were never the cheap fold-over links, pretending to be solid end links, like this watch has.

From the website PAC referenced and the article in my previous post:

Alongside the evolutions described above, the end links themselves also got thicker. In the end, we even ended up with full, solid end links rather than the folded ones from the earlier bracelets.

That's a good catch, I wasn't aware of that. The Oyster has evolved quite a bit over the years. But it looks like even when it used folded end links, they were nothing like the cheap folded end links on the above watch. The fit and finish was, of course, much better.

I learned more than I ever cared to know about Oyster bracelets from that article.

Hey all... thanks for helping me vet the watch. Not for a moment did I think it had any value... but it moved when I looked at other Chronographs for $29,000.

I'll be happy to sell it to anyone of you for $100

Called step-mom this morning... and asked about the back story on the watch. She apologized for sending a Rolex that she knew was a fake and not telling me. Turned into a half hour conversation about the other kids in the family. It was nice.

Talking with people can be nice. I sometimes call my mom just to see if that day is going to be a good day. The other day, I got my old mom on the phone. We talked for two hours.

Even though its a replica, I'll bet it was nice to have a piece of your dad's life.

So what was the backstory?
