Icon5 5513 band question ...

I purchased a 5513 meters first from 1966 (pics coming I promess), and it came with a riveted band that is stamped 7-70, on the clasp, I assume from 1970 which is ok with me.

Now the question, should it have any other mark in the end links? like 7206?, is 7206 the correct ?

Thanks and best regards!

Reason why is because it does not have any other marks or stamp anywhere else, is this a legit band ? or I just got an aftermarket with an original clasp?

Thanks

Yes,7206 is a correct bracelet and the endlinks should be stamped....I have a set in the back of the house, but I would wake my wife up in the process! I think the endlinks should be stamped 80?

7206 with 80 endlinks .. BUT if it is a USA bracelet it is still called this but doesnt usually have the markings.

the one you have bought from the link mentioned earlier is a USA rivet so no markings isn't a problem.

Thank you!

I was afraid about the band. Now I understand, if it is an USA riveted, it's ok not to have any markings.

Thanks!
