Jubilee bracelet clasp feedback

Looking for some feedback on this. Told it’s authentic from the 70’s...thoughts? The coronet looks off, but I know nothing about these which is why I ask. Sorry, best and only picture. Thanks .

What's the date code? I'd say early 60's.

From what I can make out from your picture, it has 7 adjustment holes. Most fakes have 6.

The "Rolex" stamp on the blades are easier to tell if it's genuine or not ie. font, size etc.

Just my 2 cents :-)

Don’t know. Know the endlinks are 55.
Does it look authentic?

Unless it’s cheap enough to take a gamble; I wouldn’t based on this pic alone. The coronet looks really odd but could be the light or the polish.

It appears to be a Swiss clasp. With the 55 end links, I assume the clasp is on a 6251 Swiss Jubilee which was used on the 20mm lug non-sport models such as a Datejust.

The clasp appears genuine but was in use prior to 1971. Below is a Swiss Jubilee 6251 dated 1971 from a previous Datejust that I owned which has the newer style clasp. (The clasps changed around 1970/1971.)
