Hello,
Thank you in advance.
Pleased to inquire the significant/s of the number 9 stamp (right edge of pic, yellow elipse looping the 9) on clasp?

TimeToGo · 16 March 2013, 05:48 AM

Could you post a better picture of the clasp, maybe with daylight? Also a pic of the side of the crown.

bonguya · 16 March 2013, 05:57 AM

Hello and Thank you TimeToGo,
Will do after bracelet is out of ultrasonic bath

Pic of crown:

bonguya · 16 March 2013, 06:34 AM

Apologies for the first pic; out of bath and ready.

GeoGio Greece · 16 March 2013, 06:43 AM

Please post a picture of the crown side of the clasp, not the crown of the watch ( winder ).

The watch seems to be a TT DJ. If you also have the SN, you can determine the age.

It may be that the 9 is the Karats of the bimetal bracelet, if the watch was obtained in specific country.The normal was for 14 and 18 karats and was stamped in a position around where this 9 is. But no "k" is indicated.

Which country this watch was from ? Do you know ?

Hello and Thank you GeoGio Greece,

Oh yeeaaa...that crown

You are spot on, it is a TT DJ with TT jubilee bracelet, and a 2.01M SN--1966 yes?

Correct crown pic:

GeoGio Greece · 16 March 2013, 07:23 AM

The name is George.

Yes, it is an old bracelet.

In regards with the watch, if you check the production SN tables, you can get the approx. year. These are not official but they are not far away from truth.

Also bracelets have date codes, unless they were made in the US or other places for tax reasons.

I cannot advice you any further. If you like, you can post also photos of the watch itself.

All the best !

Apologies GeoGio Greece, forgot to answer the other part.

Correct, no "k" indicated, there is a 'J' stamped in the each endlink.
9 karats for the bracelet?
Watch bezel, crown, hands, and marks are 14 or 18?

I believe it was purchased somewhere in England, or in the U.K.

bonguya · 16 March 2013, 07:51 AM

Thank you George,

No US markings, stamps located (Swiss Made); the number 4 over 68, and 6254 H stamped in bracelet, 55 stamped in endlinks

Vlad · 16 March 2013, 07:54 AM

The gold in the bracelet is 9K. The model of the of the band should be 6251 (not 6254)

Hello and Thank you Vlad,

Bracelet replaced, not original to watch?

GeoGio Greece · 16 March 2013, 08:03 AM

Possible to be 9 k.

In the UK, where I lived for 5 years, a 9 k gold item was common, while in my country we start from 14 and above with most common for rings, chains, etc the 18 K. My Christian cross is 22 k,and my wedding ring 18 K.

This was due to some taxes applied which enforged gold parts to be low in gold content. Once a member here explained, but I cannot recall.

bonguya · 16 March 2013, 08:16 AM

Thank you George,

To confirm, the 9k is in the bracelet?

Apologies for bad pic of watch, early in the morning.

GeoGio Greece · 17 March 2013, 06:36 AM

This is a nice clean watch. Congrats

Sorry I cannot help you more with the "9".

Some of the friends in this forum with the appropriate knowledge may call in later and give valid answers.
