Lady Dastejust 6917 (1978?) Find #2 of 2 - What do you think?

So here is the second watch. My wife has a similar one, but the endlinks look strange with protrusions to hold them in place. Is that an older design?

Here is what I think I found out:

Lady Datejust 18kt Gold 26mm
Ref.#: 6917
Serial #: 5568xxx
Date range: Late 1978
Dial: “T Swiss T” (white with diamond markers)
Date Wheel: Open 6
Cal. 2135
Bracelet Stamped: “D” and “A”
Head Stamp: 18kt plus two more stamps on lugs

Again, your feedback is highly appreciated.

Rick

Both are real but have had a very hard life. Spring bars are correct for the ladies watch.

Looks authentic like the other one. Bracelet shot. Less market appeal than used TV antennae. Hard pass!

I did not realize that. Thank you.

Is the entire dial not original or is it an original dial with aftermarket diamonds?

I like vintage lady Presidential watches. Rolliworks can fully restore the bracelet but that dial with the added diamonds would be a replace with factory one for me in order to want to buy it. Again, price is key. If you are buying it for around 3500/4000 the extra money for a factory dial, service and bracelet restoration would be well worth it, IMO
