red series 3 Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 I recently purchased a daytona parts bundle and when i received it I had some apprehensions regarding the bracelet. The endlinks and band look correct. But the clasp seems wrong. I don't think the coronet looks well finished, the 78350 engravings are missing and the underside of the buckle and overall material seems wrong(the edging is quite sharp and it feels thin) I grabbed these pics from a post the seller had made earlier regarding the item. They are what I received so I don't have any issues with the seller. I would appreciate any help from the Daytona experts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

janeto72 Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 100 % gen.....clasp and band and endlinks....is that a "B" on the clasp? It looks like a "B" clasp which dates it to 1977....edlinks look correct.Some clasps never came with 78350 stamped.....some came with 78350 stamped but no date stamp.....

red series 3 Posted June 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 Heres another shot if the clasp. I thought the uneven edges just looked wrong, but happy to stand corrected. Thanks Janeto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janeto72 Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 this is a common problem with the early rolex clasps.....the finish is sometimes not up to par..especially with the uneven edges or rough edges...some of the mold presses wore out , were never cleaned properly etc.....

Laser3000 Posted June 13, 2012 Report Share Posted June 13, 2012 I don`t think it`s gen. the position of the crown is wrong, like on gen 7835 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
