Is this clasp real?

[ncmoto]

Ive had this in a bag of extra stuff and would like to know if anyone can tell if its real THAMKS Ken






I think from the 80s

The clasp and blades look good to me, but the diver extension is questionable. I believe the scroll work up at coronet should have the hooks one above and one below the opposing line (hope that makes sense).

Here's a pic of mine for comparison (I bracelet code).

Let's see what others think......

Someone was questioning the validity of these early 93150 bracelets recently. I think calling them "transitional" is not a stretch. This other member thought they were put together using 9315 clasp covers with 93150 blades inside. Anyway, they are real and the OP has shown one.

I am currently selling a "study in over polishing" right now on eBay. It also has been "tightened" by gnawing on the hinge areas of the blades. Anyway, I'm trying to see the divers extension engraving because the OP one looks ok (or at least not phony) to me and the later photo looks to be of a later 93150 bracelet with the thicker clasp cover and two rows of holes in the side rather than one.

I'll attach what I have and see if I can see anything. Mine is 1980 with a VE code. I zoomed in with the iPhone photo editor on the extension engraving. I think it looks similar to the OP...

The 9315 clasps don't have a thumb recess.

Your diver extension has different scroll work than the OP.

You think so? I know it's a bad photo but I think they look pretty similar.

Here is an X12 code extension.

Look closer and you'll se that they don't look the same.

Yes that one looks like the one you previously posted, and the one I posted. However, those all look different than the OP. Please re-read my first post; I tried to explain what is the difference.
