"Hi, can you help me to identify if this bracelet is genuine??"

 

I have been fooled too many times to say 'genuine or replica' but you might go to this address and compare your bracelet with supposedly genuine examples.  You can go to the seller's site on any bracelet pictured to see if the seller is more than likely legit or not.

 

Folded Oyster Bracelets...
Regular Clasp = Bracelet Code: 7835/7836
Bracelet End Link Width: 19mm/20mm
Introduction Year: 1967

 

Folded with Diver Clasp = Bracelet Code: 9315
Bracelet End Link Width: 20mm
Introduction Year: 1969

Folded with Diver Clasp (Sea-Dweller) = Bracelet Code: 9316
Bracelet End Link Width: 20mm (Sea-Dweller)
Introduction Year: 1969

 

I will say it looks like the bracelet has been screwed with quite a bit and if it is in your possession, scrub it vigorously with a brush in hot soapy water.

Hmm, hard to say, but I don't like the clasp that looks like it is plated and the plating is coming off-- or that is some gnarly dead skin/dirt. 🤭  I always assumed the WHOLE bracelet was stainless steel which would delaminate like that.  INOX ins Steelinox means Stainless, or so I thought.

 

Also, that 'damage' on the inside of the bracelet seems odd, almost like it was artificially aged.

 

I have had a gen and rep of this side by side, and the Rep also has a slightly wider clasp.  Can't tell from the photos.  The Gen clasp is actually thinner gauge and a hair longer.

Put it on eBay.  If it isn't gen, the VRF watchdogs will flag it.

I think given it's condition you are spot on.  I was buying these for $800 in great condition 8 years ago.

Something else...

Genuine clasp caps should have seven adjustment holes and many replicas will have six.  There will be exceptions no doubt as I have seen a few old rivet oysters with six adjustment holes.
