A little help appreciated... I am looking to possibly purchase this birth year-68', Datejust. Does anyone see anything that jumps out as a red flag? I'm unfamiliar with the older style datejust. Thanks for any help as always.

Nice pie-pan dial.

The bracelet is a newer one. The original would have been an oval link. Otherwise it looks right with the pie pan and it should be an acrylic crystal.

Just wondering - it looks like the end links are odd fitting and that may be because it is on a newer bracelet. Some with more knowledge might comment on what number the end links should be.

Still can't see if the endlinks are correct or the links section

The links should be 555s but I have seen others on this. Look at the dial where it meets the edge of the rehaut. Mine has some paint degrading and I uave seen this a few times before. Nice watch. Slow set which is annoying.

Yes, not sure if the bracelet is original

yup, bracelet is later D section jubilee. I think the original jubilee should be the crimped kidney shape. End links should be "55" IIRC The clasp is right for the bracelet era i think. having just spoken to a watchmaker about extending my own '68 DD Jubilee strap, I can see how it was easier just to replace it with a more modern one - its not straightforward!
