·Wanted to consult the forum on a watch bracelet which arrived the other day from Australia. It from the estate of a deceased watchmaker. Here are the photos:
This is actually the reason I bought the bracelet, I have never seen a 23 endlink, it is 18mm and seems to fit the standard fat lug Seamaster case. As some on here know, I have an interest in endlinks, so this is quite exciting (at least to me). My date table seems to indicate that it would manufactured in the early 60s.
Excuse the dreadful phone photograph, this is the clasp, it says made in the USA.
I have tried to show the clasp mechanism in these photos, it is something I have heard about in this thread: https://omegaforums.net/threads/omega-beads-of-rice-bracelet-with-sliding-clasp.80982/ there seems to be a couple of example on there, but none like this.
This last photo is of the bracelet itself, you can see there are dimples in the centre links on one side (they are also on the other side, but on the reverse, I imagine that one of the lengths has at some point been flipped). I have never seen a bracelet like this either. It also came with only a single endlink, so if anyone else has a #23 endlink who is willing to part with it, that would be much appreciated.
Does anyone have any thaughts on this bracelet? Do you think the clasp is original?
