Unusual clasp on a 6635 rivet bracelet, is it original?

[EH86055]

Hi all,

This 6635 bracelet came on a 1962 Tudor 7965. I noticed the coronet is stamped in the body of the clasp, not integrated into the opening tab as on other examples of this bracelet.

The clasp measures 13 by 23 mm and has six micro-adjust holes. Blade is stamped "Patented & Registered / Swiss Made." Last photo shows a usual 6635 clasp. Searching online, I found smaller clasps for 17 mm bracelets with this logo placement, but none for a 19 mm.

What are your thoughts, folks? Not original? Fake, even?

Thanks all.

Clasp is genuine. Later ones had the coronet stamped like your example.

More info in the thread below. What year (if any) is stamped on the blade?

A quick edit to my post. The clasp posted by the OP is genuine but it is not the later clasp that I was referring to. I should have spent a little more time looking at the OP's clasp.

The later SWISS clasp that I was referring to is depicted below on a SWISS 6251 Jubilee found on a 1972 GMT.

Let's see your Tudor 7965.
I love the 7965 so much that I own 2.
They look like a 36mm with the lengthened lug width.
The visual is very good on them.
The 6635 bracelet is a great find.
