Rolex 1803 help needed!!!!

Guys, looking at updating my existing Rolex 1803 to one with a president bracelet that isn';t limp!! I've been offerred this for £6400, its 3mill serial number but what i'm not sure about is whetehr the bracelet is a later one with the hidden clasp, i thought these earlier ones had a clasp like a datejust etc..?
Also what do you need to look out for on the bracelet like the one shown to show that it;'s a genuine Rolex one?

As usual your opinions are appreciated

Im hoping that price is for the whole watch, right? As to the hidden clasp, no one knows the exact date it was introduced except rolex. But the consensus is that it's available from early 70's. So urs is good. If u can show the stamps n also side views, the authenticity will b confirmed. Its in very good condition though, not much stretched.
