Is this 18K Submariner clasp genuine

These are the only pics I have, the markings look possibly legit, but I've never seen a Rolex crown on this part of the clasp.

It's not attached, just the clasp, no band

It's not correct I would also like to see those hallmarks better

You be the judge, here is a real one for comparison. I have never seen any with the Rolex logo that close to the hallmarks before or that big of a gap between SWISS and MADE. Thanks matdaytona for the use of the pic.

Yep, looks fake from here. The early ones had a raised coronet on the clasp, just ahead of the flip-lock, but never actually ON the flip-lock that I've ever seen or heard of.
The later ones have the coronet in the typical/normal Submariner position, just behind the thumbnail divot.

This is what I was thinking as well.

Thanks for posting this photo. I also noticed that the word ROLEX is completely different on each one. The "L" in the pic I posted is almost touching the scroll at the top. The one you posted it is no where near it.

On a side note, did you test the gold content? or is it not in your possession..
