16013 9mil Serial Rose/Pink Gold??
I pulled the trigger on a 85/86 16013 from an online dealer.
When I took it into my local watch guy, he asked if the gold in the bracelet looked a little "pink" to me -- referencing that it may be rose gold. He said the bezel, crown and end links look to be yellow gold, but the links in the bracelet look pink. Sometimes I see it, sometimes I don't. Maybe I've been staring at it too long. Is there a way to verify, based on the clasp and/or end link numbers, that this bracelet is YG and not rose gold? Both end links read 455B The clasp code is: D12; 62523H.18 Pics attached, although they don't do it justice i'm sure. Any help is appreciated :) |

Crown, what indicates that the clasp is fake? How do I verify? Im planning to take the watch to a local RSC tomorrow so any advice/questions to ask would be helpful. Thanks!

The endlink markings don't look so good from here, either. So, maybe a good guess is that your band is entirely fake.
