Just picked up my new (to me, obviously) 1680. I'll let the pics speak for themselves, but I did have one question for the experts. Is this an authentic clasp? The stamping looking very weak, and the coronet on the outside of the clasp is not very pronounced at all. I've included a picture of it next to the clasp on my other 1680 for comparison. I don't know how much variation there has been between clasps over the years, and the stamping on the inside of the clasp looks pretty good, but hopefully someone can assuage my concerns, or let me know that I need to contact the jeweler I got it from.
