I am looking to buy a Day-date right now and was just offered one with a president bracelet but with a visible, standard looking rolex gold clasp instead of the hidden clasp I have always associated with the president bracelet.

Was this a common and factory offered clasp arrangement? I have only seen one for sale like this and it made me question the provenance of the watch.

If this visible clasp was a factory offering, how much does it effect the price of the watch versus the hidden clasp arrangement?

Thanks

The older DD's had the standard clasp.

The President has a hidden clasp the buckle is a little diffrent on the newer models but form outside it is the same.
Older day date pics.

The weight on the newer models is heavier aslo

I did a bit of recearch and the bracelet was offered with the 18038 in 1980
with #55 end links
It was somewhat less expensive and you could not see it... as it was under
your wrist - this was the sales pitch by the Rolex salesmen

Here's a picture of a early 60's President bracelet with #53 endcaps.
