Never in my lifetime. Looks like someone place an old "twist-o-flex" on a genuine clasp.

Thats what I though I know there were a few unusual ones going back many years, but they have always followed a Rolex theme, unless they were released on the Cellini range.

...mmmm...

...the buckle/clasp appears genuine.

...however, like John, I have never seen the links like that.

...I would guess it is possible that someone took a genuine buckle/clasp and fabricated/used link sections from some other manufacture.

...wish Jeff Hess could see this one.

...maybe buddy Orchi could shed some light.

Looks very very odd.

Something rings true though. I wish I would have seen it earlier.. I might have taken a shot at it... :)

I have owned a 6564 with a similar weird brickwork band once made for either the Cuban or South Amercan market, i forget.

Intriguing.

Jeff
