Is this 78350 clasp gen or rep

[red series 3]

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.

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.....

Heres another shot if the clasp. I thought the uneven edges just looked wrong, but happy to stand corrected.

Thanks Janeto

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.....

I don`t think it`s gen. the position of the crown is wrong, like on gen 7835
