Help with 16700 bracelet

Hi all,

I have seen a Rolex 16700 for sale via a trusted seller. The bracelet is 78360 however, the clasp is CP12.

I'm hoping to add it to the collection as the condition is really good with recent Rolex service. However, the CP12 code on the clasp is worrying me, should I be worried?

P.s. the watch was serviced by Rolex in 2022 and it states "Clasp / Buckle requires replacement" followed by a £120 charge for the work being done.

What exactly is your concern? A replacement clasp won't have much of an effect on value. I would focus mainly on the condition of the watch.

Well what I want to really know is that with a service clasp would it mean that this should be factored in the price? Also, will it ever have an impact on resale price?

As I said, the clasp will have a very small effect on overall price for a Rolex GMT. You are worrying about something that is essentially trivial, like 1% of the total value. Not even worth the time we've already spent on it.

If you want to make better use of this thread, post good photos of the watch and tell us the asking price. Then you'll get some good feedback.
