Rolex 1803, clasp Made in Japan

Okay, this does not look right to me....on the clasp, "Made in Japan"
Other than that, it looks great!

I found a reference on a Japanese site re the bracelets (Called brace in Japan)

ROLEX sixties white gold "made in Japan" brace

http://oneafter09.exblog.jp/4935733/

The japanese text will come out garbled, but you can see the photo and the above English text on the site. Also the Rolex ad on the RIGHT in Japanese can be seen.

Interesting.
