Hi guys, I've just picked up a new Beads of Rice and interested in any feedback about its legitimacy.

There pretty alarming array reps out there, particularly with the 1068 clasp so I'd really like to avoid any nasty surprises. The tape is applied to buckle from storage, try to ignore that.






PS I have checked some of the other useful threads on this topic, like

But I'm on the view the more insight the merrier. My own feeling is this is one of the good ones. Am I wrong?
Cheers!

 

I think you are safe. Nice deep stamping , looks better than fake usually does.

 

I think it looks fine.

 

Good to know, thanks!
The next thing I'll need to try and track down is a pair of period 18mm end links.
Anyone have a view on the correct type I should look for first? I was thinking 570 / 584, but I'd be interested to know if there are other 18mm end link refs that are good for seven links.

 

beautiful

 

What about this 1068 for sale on Ebay: genuine?

Looks fine. End links are for a Seamaster Cosmic.

 

Thanks. Would those endlinks fit a 168.023 / 166.032 case ?

 

No.

 

It looks authentic, also the clasp, basing on font and quality of material

 

Thanks. Which end links to use on a 166.032 / 168.023 case?
