Hey everyone, I'm thinking about buying this and was wondering if it looked genuine to you all. Thanks

...hi Blaine, just like everything else, Rolex's band innovations/line-up EVOLVED into what they are today.

...the coronet on this clasp, what can be seen, appears correct. The absence of "Pantented" is just like that found on the earliest 9315 bands, etc, where some of them were void of the stamping, etc.

...there are even several div ext variants, ALL genuine Rolex, while they were evolving.

i can agree w/the evolving part BUT to disagree with respect, that if it is
a 78 yr band (c)>>>> my 77 year band is already evolved.

i just find it hard to believe, even in the late 70's the mother ship was still
OFFSETTING like that or still making gross mistakes as show

as you may remember, one of may examples you fixed (THANK-YOU AGAIN)

cheers!!!!!!!!
sharing of information is half the fun/happy hunting

I missed some of the posts here, but noticed one from Blaine about the "registered" being offset.

As Stanley stated, it was common on the older bands. I currently wear an older 93150 band on my daily GMT beater, which is probably a first generation 93150 band. It has the "registered" offset like the band in this post. I've seen many of the older bands with this stamping, as Stanley mentioned.

Sure can Blaine. "VD" which by my reference material is 1979. It's either a late 9315 clasp or a very early 93150. The band is not marked with the band style number.
