Curt941 Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 I can't seem to find a definitive answer on whether a 62510 clasp should have the little crown under the R next to "Steel Inox" Does this look legit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 The coronet under the R appears on genuine jubilee 65210H clasps made in the 1980's. However thereare4 a lot of aftermarket clasps that also have the small coronet as well. So if it is aftermarket, you will have to depend on other "tells" to determine. Looking at your clasp, I don't think it is genuine. the tell I'm looking at is STEELINOX. I just looked at three genuine Rolex clasps as well as a genuine Tudor clasp and they are all spelled STEELINOX, one word none of them have the gap between STEEL INOX, the L and I are almost touching. STEELINOX. Unless yours is exactly like that and what I'm sseing is from the camera angle, it's not genuine. Here is a link to a very interesting discussion on the VRF (Vintage RolexForum) Orchi, quite frequenrtly opens up a "Can of worms" with his discussions. Pretty often his theories are shot down in flames by more experienced members, so read it and draw your own conclusions. http://www.network54.com/Forum/207593/thread/1288759930/1288922659/Orchi+believes+this+Odd+type+of+Rolex+%26quot%3BScroll%26quot%3B+Logo+on+Buckle-Clasps+is+aftermarket..%2B%2B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt941 Posted February 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 So I was really worried by the scroll work around the "ROLEX" since that seems to be the biggest tell. With the sellers original picture, there was glare on the right side, but he sent me a new picture that's clear this is a genuine bracelet. End links are 502T, not sure if those are very valuable or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 You must have read Orchi's thread!! From the new photos, it looks better AFA the 502T's , they are to fit an Explorer or 16750. Saw a sealed set that sold last Oct for 125.00 USD, so not as pricy as 580's or 585's, but still have value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt941 Posted February 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Nice. I bought a P-serial 14060M that came with a stock 93150 bracelet as well as the above 62510H for $4k. I I think it's a decent price considering the 62510 could probably be offloaded for $300-400, but when I started to question the legitimacy of the Jubilee I got a little nervous. the 14060 actually looks pretty darn good on the jubilee, dresses it up a bit.

mymanmatt Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Ther are many gens without the crown. Most of them made in the 90"s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
