bruce79 Posted May 24, 2010 Report Posted May 24, 2010 The clasp looks suspect to me but I am certainly no expert. Can anyone enlighten me? I'm looking to pick it up for my genuine 1680 5.1 mil. Thanks!
ubiquitous Posted May 24, 2010 Report Posted May 24, 2010 Overall looks ok to me. I've seen other VD marked clasps with the same signing.
FxrAndy Posted May 24, 2010 Report Posted May 24, 2010 Not an expert but it looks good to me, lack of the groves on the flip lock, good strong stampings ect
HauteHippie Posted May 24, 2010 Report Posted May 24, 2010 The 93150 stamp looks a little sloppy. But otherwise, I'd not question it.
bruce79 Posted May 25, 2010 Author Report Posted May 25, 2010 Thanks guys...now the seller is not sure he wants to sell. If anybody has a spare gen 93150 that they'd like to unload, shoot me a pm.
ubiquitous Posted May 25, 2010 Report Posted May 25, 2010 What's your price point on a bracelet? There's a couple out there for sale now, but starting price is around $750-ish...
mjmj Posted May 25, 2010 Report Posted May 25, 2010 I ve got a spare 9315. PM me if you are interested
bruce79 Posted May 25, 2010 Author Report Posted May 25, 2010 Well, I'm fitting it to a gen 5.1 mil 1680...purchased in 1977. So it's 33 years old, worn every day except from when it was at service in the late 80's. It's a well worn watch and I'd like to find a bracelet that's used used with a little stretch to match it. Ideally, I'd like to spend $500-$600. Thanks for the offer on the 9315 but that's for the earlier red sub, right?
freddy333 Posted May 25, 2010 Report Posted May 25, 2010 I think you have a franken bracelet, which is a common problem these days. This part looks aftermarket to me (coronet & metal grain look wrong).
torresp Posted May 25, 2010 Report Posted May 25, 2010 100% gen to me... in all it's parts but you know... just my 0,02
watcher Posted May 25, 2010 Report Posted May 25, 2010 Is it not more economical to buy from a rolex agent? You have a gen watch so why look at the other avenues which most likely attract a premium! Just my thought....
HauteHippie Posted May 25, 2010 Report Posted May 25, 2010 These are really not that hard to come by, J. $550 is about right. I'd hold out for a better one personally, or just buy from an AD.
