President-bracelet question #1

Hello,

could anyone please answer some tricky questions concerning the bracelets of two 1803 in WG?

These two backside-views of WG-President-bracelets show completely different (not only mirrored) clasps.

What's the matter with them?
Have they been produced in different years or is something not original?

Need better pics to tell you anything. Markings and stampings etc.

The square cutout on clasp existed until about 1984ish. The round cutout was the replacement. It’s just a design change that happened. Doesn’t mean anything else.

Time of production

Dear ronricks,

so the right bracelet was made in 1985 or earlier and the left one could be from the year 1956 up to approximately 1984?

Neither appears to be OEM from just one poor picture.

If you have these bracelets in your possession, and wish for a serious discourse, most of us need to see much more detailed close-ups of the clasps inside and out.

If that's not possible on your end, I understand - just limited input available to your question.
