Curt941 Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 So I'm looking at buying a gen 1675 and it's listed with this pretty beat up rivet bracelet. The things I'm confused about is the end links and the clasp, never seen anything like it. Clasp: End Links Bleh, stretch, is this thing even worth ANYTHING?

cc33 Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 I've seen those end links on c&i us made bands. Rule of thumb is that if the rivets have holes in the center it's a us c&i, if the rivets are solid then it's Swiss made. I've seen that clasp before on a gmt so it's fine.

cc33 Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 By the way, I always buy my watches as just the head, so I can find my own perfect band (usually on vrm) that I'm happy with. In the small chance that the band matches the head though I would check the serial #, date the watch head and then compare it to the date on the clasp of the band. If its a match then buy it together if not make a deal with the seller to buy just the head and then you can find your perfect band separately.

freddy333 Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 A-OK. If you do not want the bracelet, you are welcome to send it to me (or contact MY to see about having it restored). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjjoyce1 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 That clasp is wrong for a C&I. The bracelet and end links look o.k. though This is what you should be seeing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
