Clasp question
Hi all, it’s been a while since I’ve posted mainly because I haven’t had a Rolex for a while.
The question I have today is about the clasp on the vintage oyster bracelets. I am about to receive a 6426 oyster precision with the clasp that has the Rolex crown at the edge of the clasp.  I had a 6694 oysterdate precision and it had the crown stamped into the clasp.  At what point did they transition? |

Different bracelets made within completely different eras.

If you order a new bracelet for the forst one you will get the same as at the second one.

I believe it was around 1969-1970 when the Oyster 7836/7835 was introduced with the off-center coronet clasp stamping and the 6251 Jubilee changed the model's clasp stamping to where it also had the off-center coronet clasp stamping. The Rolex SWISS clasps with the coronet at the tip of the clasp were discontinued when the newer clasps were introduced.

Clasp question
Quote:
With this in mind, would it be common for a 1972 watch to come out with the older clasp? I’m asking to try and find out as much as I can for when the watch was made. Or if there is a database on serial numbers as to when they were made? |
