panerai153 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 When I bought my gen 16750 about 7-8 years ago, it came on a pretty nice 78360 bracelet w/ 580 end links. I didn't really pay much attention to the clasp at first, it looked OK to me. Well a few weeks later, I was photographing the watch and I noticed that the clasp was not a 78360, rather a 62510H "A" serial. This has worried me for a while, and I finally decided to find a proper clasp.I bought one from a fellow on the VRF. Turned out it was a "H" serial which is what I needed to match my watch's birth year. He asked me about the clasp that was on the watch, possibly interested in a part trade. I sent him some scans and he emailed me back that it looked like the bracelet was put together from parts, as the other blade of the clasp was marked 2 66 with the 2 on top and the 66 below. His reasoning was genuine Rolex clasps were only stamped on one blade. I didn't argue with him, although i had just seen a clasp on the VRM a couple of days before that was marked 1 69 same place with the same configuration. Is mine genuine and all from Rolex as the same clasp, or is mine a "pieced together" clasp? Here are photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 I have only seen the date stamp on 1 leave, not both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted January 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Freddy, The date stamp is on one leaf, the other leaf has the model# 62510H and the "A" serial. Looking at the Bracelet and Endlink guide, it looks liie the "A" serial was from 1976, so if the 2 66 is a date stamp, they would have to be from 2 bracelets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
