Clasp + bezel check

Hi guys,

I recently bought a 5513 (1977) and I realised its clasp doesn't have any engraved code (month/year). Does it look genuine to you?

Along with this, under certain light conditions, the bezel's numbers look "gilt" instead of white/silver. Is it something possible or did they replace the bezel insert with a gold or two tone sub??

thx

In my limited knowledge it looks like a classic vintage 'large logo' bracelet. The bezel looks OK in comparison to this

Both pieces look fine. Some of the earlier blades didn't have the date on that particular blade - the date was on the other blade.
