New clasp for SS Daytona vs old clasp

Can someone please post pictures of both old and new clasps for a SS Daytona. I'm picking one up tomorrow and I would like the new clasp, but I'm not sure what to look for.

Thanks Felly for those awesome pics...I will be going after work today to pick up the Daytona, can I assume that it will have the new clasp being that it has a V serial# ? I thought I read somewhere on this forum that someone recently bought a V serial# Daytona from an AD but got it with the old clasp, is this possible? Is there a number or mark on the clasp that will tell me which clasp it is old or new? I just want to confirm that I am getting the latest design after waiting for over 2 years.
Thank you.

Old. I would not spend the extra money for the new clasp.

I would not assume it's going to have the new clasp just because it is a "V" serial. The only way to know for sure is to look at it. My new clasp doesn't have the model number on it but the warranty card will. It will say which bracelet it has and will either be 78490 (old) or 78590 (new).

Please post some pic's as soon as you can.........WE LOVE PIC'S HERE!

I'm with you, if I was waiting for 2 years I'd want the latest and greatest as well. You deserve it!
