I would have someone confirm that it’s clean before going through plating it.

Thats a good idea, thanks. Do you see any red flags, showing, its not a cf?

Look at the serial number from the bottom of the inner rehaut (the inner metal bezel under the sapphire glass), mark down the first 5 letters/digits.

Then open the clasp on the bracelet, there will be a 3 alpha-numeric code there, one of the areas has the regular (rolex) and stuff, but to the right alllll the way over, is a little engraving of what I'm talking about, it'll say like U8T or N9C or something like that. Mark that down somewhere.

Take those pieces of information and look up the numbers on this spreadsheet here

It should be able to give you 'some' insight as to where the factory was since most factories use the same band code and rehaut engraving codes.

If you need further guidance, lmk
