Does this clasp look correct? I know the whole bracelet is a replacement from the original on the 16013 that this clasp is on, but I want to make sure it is authentic before I try to sell/trade this watch. I purchased this from a reputable dealer, but since being on this forum have learned that doesn't always mean anything.

In comparing the logo and scroll work to authentic photos in the Rolex Report and online, the scroll work looks good, but I am not sure about the crown. I know Rolex has changed the overall crown and scroll design several times through the years, so I am just a little confused. Am I being too critical?

Based on the #'s this clasp has a December 2006 date and should be an 18k two tone bracelet, which it is.

So, any thoughts?

David

well i m far away to call myself expert but were in yr boots recently, the scroll looks fine,well the crown not so and my real concerns are the ref# and the production dates ,those normally looks lighter than the other inscriptions.
but let s see what says others

...very GOOD markings...HOWEVER...

...that reference number does NOT exist among Rolex ref numbers.

...based upon 3 different references that I have, INCLUDING a genuine Rolex R 3 Catalog, ALL Jubilee reference numbers will have 651, 652, etc for the FIRST 3 digits.

...hope this helps.
