Rolex Day Date - ever come without hidden clasp?

Hello!

I am looking at a Rolex Day Date that's got a barked finish. The only concern I have is that the clasp is not concealed like most Day Dates I've seen. Is this normal or a red flag that the bracelet is not original?

I don't know the specifics (how long and when they were delivered) but they do exist and I've seen them at reputable dealers.

Yes, they exist. I think the hidden clasp started early 70’s.

Yep
I’ve seen those with a buckle
Might have been a. 4 digit reference?

It's an 18078 with 3055 movement. Everything else about it I love.
