That clasp would drive me crazy. Does it have any texture at all?

I'd be super critical of any watch that had something like that fitted to it. You never know what other corners got cut.

Looks nice, but not sure I'd agree with the assessment that nothing else has been touched. That case has been polished for sure. Lug holes show that. Looks decent, but I certainly wouldn't say untouched. I'd double-check the hands are tritium to match the dial.

The clasp would be the least of my concerns when buying a vintage (or almost vintage) Rolex. It's like worrying about tires on a vintage car. Easily replaced if needed.
