Rolex Day Date Question

Hello everyone,

Does anyone know what year the Rolex 1803 went from the bracelet with the folding clasp to the bracelet with the hidden clasp. Looking at different ones for sale and even though they are from the same decade, some have the folding and some have the hidden...

Early-mid 70's would be my guess.

Rolex Day Date Question

1969 at an extra cost it was optional you could still get the old clasp for many years. Therefore there is no exact answer on a 1803 model it was available all the way upto the 1977. At this time they introduced the 18038 at this time it was no longer offered.
