Curious to hear, and apologies as this is the only poor picture I have, but has anyone seen engraving like this on a 60s 1175 clasp before? Particularly the way 12 is printed, and then all the engravings seem to be reversed from what I’ve seen before...

Appreciate any thoughts!

By the way here's a 1175 clasp with a date of 1/71.

Right, that’s what I’ve always seen. Assuming the pictured clasp is not genuine then?

They vary depending on where they were made and by whom. Bracelets were made in a number of different countries; for example, Jacoby-Bender made bracelets for Omega in USA.

That you see differences by itself is not significant. For a bracelet to be considered counterfeit, there must be other reasons.

Copy that, thanks. And I know it when it comes to omega buckles, some of the differences in terms of age and origin, but less familiar with bracelet clasps, and I’ve never seen this particular variety before. But good to know it could be genuine.

I posted a photo for comparison.
Sorry, but I don't know if it's real or not.

I found a photo of a similar 1175 clasp in a past thread.Please refer to it.

Appreciate the photo and links. Good to see similarities, but the 12 is still a bit concerning... Digging in more...

Yeah that’s how I’ve always seen them. All good, I haven’t purchased it yet, but it would come on a non Speedmaster Omega I’m looking at.
