First off, thank you Diver for responding, I appreciate the time spent doing so for me and your comparison to your bracelet is encouraging.
This thread is going to be read by someone who feels this bracelet is not real. I would like as many independent opinions as possible so there is no doubt of its authenticity.
Any explanation for the lack of a pat pending or patented stamp on the extension? I have my own explanation but, again I would like some more replies if possible.
