Is this a real clasp?

There are these three datejusts for sale on eBay. They all seem to claim to be authentic but I haven't read the entire thing.

Is this type of clasp authentic?

Looks like a C&I clasp from the 60's/70's, but without the usual made in USA writing on the inside. Looks good to me, but sure someone more knowledgeable will respond.

In answer to your last question, that type of clasp is authentic.

...looks like...

...an early "rolled link" Jubilee with swiss made buckle.

...IF it has a USA buckle, then it is FABRICATED, as the rolled link was NOT produced by Rolex USA.
