Hey Guys,
I have a Z series bluesy 16613, i noticed that if you look on the back side of the clasp (the one facing the bracelet) you'll notice that it's made of stainless steel and not steel and gold. Could somebody with a bluesy take a picture of his watch's clasp to confirm this?

Thanks :)

It's true. The gold on the clasp is applied to the steel, not plated, but a thin band applied on top.

I think JJ has some good pics of this.

The inside of the TT clasp will always be only steel. The outside has a layer of 18 K gold fused onto the steel by a special process.

The early TT Sub Dates had no gold at all on the clasps, btw.
