I was cleaning a couple of watches today and Ifelt something "odd" when handling a bracelet. I look closely and I cannot see anything strange, but I thought it would be a good idea to command the help of my colleagues at TRF. Do you see anything odd?

What did you feel that was odd?

To tell you the truth, it is more of a "gut" feeling than a real thing. The weight, the sound of one link against another and then, the fact of the lasp code inscribed so light.

Looks good to me, other members opinion will be appreciated

joseluu · 9 December 2012, 01:49 AM

OK. I appreciate your effort. It does look to me too, but I had this funny feeling I din dot have with the others. True that this is the only one I have with SEL. Maybe the strange sould comes from that fact...

It looks good to me .. I could be wrong

joseluu · 9 December 2012, 04:05 AM

Thanks. I´ll sleep better.

RolexSA · 9 December 2012, 04:24 AM

I can't see anything wrong with it as long the clasp belongs to a bracelet with SEL .

TimeToGo · 9 December 2012, 05:52 AM

Do you have other pictures, of the crown, SELs?

joseluu · 9 December 2012, 06:11 AM

A few more:

RolexSA · 9 December 2012, 06:12 AM

Is it just me or can we not see the new pictures ?

joseluu · 9 December 2012, 06:30 AM

I can see them, but I know that doesn´ t mean much...

joseluu · 9 December 2012, 06:31 AM

Can you also take a picture of the other side of the clasp showing the crown?

I also can not make out the reference numbers on the SEL.

bayerische · 9 December 2012, 08:46 PM

Um... A few links seems to have almost melted? Or is it just the camera? Looks as if torque would have been applied to some of the "connections".

The "melting" look is there. It seems to come from friction with the clasp, but it is one of the things that didn´t make me very happy.

TimeToGo · 9 December 2012, 09:18 PM

Looks good!

It is odd how those links have worn down, though. I guess that is where the clasp is touching onto the links.

How many links does your bracelet have?

There are 5 on the 6 side and 6 (and 1/2) on the 12 side.

Maybe that link (removable) came from another bracelet.

That was my thought initially or even wondered if that particular link is aftermarket.

It does not look aftermarket (the screw seems OK). Maybe an old bracelet.

In any case, one link will not bother me that much.

Thanks to all of you. The more pairs of eyes, the better.
