Grandfather's Rolex Stolen Can you ID the custom band?

[Mooseman]

Hi I am looking for help. I have some pictures of my grandfathers 1960's Rolex that was stolen. I am looking for what the vintage custom band is worth and the watch as well. Can you please help? Also if you know a good place to get this appraised with only these pictures that would be a great help thank you!

Custom milanese with original clasp? Basically gold and the value of the clasp I'd say

The bracelet isn’t custom. It’s factory.

Man that bracelet was fantastic.

Well, what the heck is it, factory or custom?

That bracelet will probably be worth as much if not more than that 1803 head. Looks like an 8631/8 bracelet.
The watch head doesnt look like it has been polished if any or at all but is just a basic style and configuration 1803. The head alone is probably in the $7000-9000 range in this current market. Its crazy how much these things have skyrocketed lately! To even find that bracelet would probably cost close to 10 grand or more to replace just in itself.

The bracelet looks just like this one, which I would imagine is a factory bracelet but quite rare. : https://www.vwcweb.com/EN/Scheda/346...ecial-bracelet

From the interwebs...never seen this bracelet before, absolutely beautiful imo.

1803 Day-Date with oxblood Stella dial and Milanese bracelet, rose gold, 36mm. Circa 1970's

Beautiful. Is there a chance that dial is aftermarket?

What do you think, last one at the bottom?

The detail on that bracelet is exquisite. Very nice. I wonder how it would be adjusted for size if the clasp hole range isn't enough.

Such a shame it was stolen. I wouldn't fancy trying to source a replacement.

Great question on the size.

[Mooseman]

Thank you for the help. Hopefully I can find one like it to replace it. That one on that auction site is the same exact bracelet.

I think these types of bracelets had to to be cut by a jeweler.

A lot of those integrated gold bracelet watches from the '60s and '70s by Patek, etc. all now have very short bracelets because they were cut permanently.
