The bracelet sections are from a SWISS 6252H two tone fit to an incorrect Made in Mexico two-tone Joske's clasp.

The 6252H would have 250 end links with a GMT.

The insert is later, 1980s on up.

The good...it has a very nice case and dial. If you want a period correct insert and bracelet, or bracelet clasp, the parts shouldn't be too hard to find in the secondary market.

The Mexican clasps are genuine. They came in either all stainless or SS/14K versions and were found on oval link bracelets identical to the USA oval link bracelets. Used primary by Joske's Jewelry in San Antonio.
