Advice anyone?

Just bought this bracelet for my 1961 1500.

I'm looking to confirm it is authentic... Thank!

...looks fine...

...some of those had the 7205 center link designation for the swiss made versions, but sometimes, the earlier ones had only numbered endpieces.

...and sometimes, when the centerlink bearing the 7205 becomes worn beyod repair, the link would be done away with all together.

...looks GOOD!

Stan.

Err buddy Rhodan...buddy Stan is right...that looks to be 7205/57(19mm)
in good conditions.

It would be originally made from 1954 to 1967...which should have a
production period marked on the clasps...for the early 5500 AirKing/Explorer...
n early Rolex Cosmograph like 6238/6239 etc etc.

Orchi says ya got yourself a damn good deal for it...

Thanks Orchi and Stan.

The bracelet has been fitted on my 1500 and it looks great. Too bad I must now sell it to finance my Explorer II I just bought...
