Don't see to many of these! Someone needs to buy this for their 1665 project! I truly think this is under priced!

Read the description down below.

Up for bidding is an aftermarket stainless steel Rolex band clasp. This clasp is in very good condition with safety lock works properly. The Rolex logo is located on the left hand side that not normally found on regular Rolex clasps. We can find a similar one on a Japanese magazine which showing that it is for early Rolex Seadweller 1665.

Strange one.

I JUST read that. I still think it's pretty cool, but not worth that after reading it's not original. But still haven't seen one for sale, ever, gen or rep. I still like it and if I was working on a 1665, I would make an offer on it.

If you guys think this clasp is a complete "fantasy", I hate to say you are incorrect.

Would like to see the Japanese magazine personally. Some sort of proof. I've never seen it before but it also wouldn't surprise me if they made a limited edition for a specific country. It's not unheard of... IWC does it too.

Scroll down to Comp. IV. It's not a complete shot of the outside of the clasp, but it clearly shows the Rolex Crown in the same position. I'm searching for some picture I found early last year of the entire clasp on the band. Will post them when I find them.
