Hello all,

new to the forum and not familiar with format here so excuse me if this has been discussed before. I seached online and ended up here, hope i came to the right place.

I inherited a few watches from my dad a few years ago. One of them is a 18k day date with a 1964 serial number. It has a jubilee bracelet on it now but in the box was a full 'bark' bracelet that i can't seem to find any info on. It's not a president with a bark center link, it's a flat bracelet that is all bark finished. It's 36mm and looks very 60s i guess; i can't find any numbers on it anywhere. Just trying to determine what i have here.

a few more pics. Anything in particular i need to look for?

You have a what is known as a paved brick bracelet with Morellis finish not bark for a 1806

thank you sir. i will google with that information

AZpcar1 · 10 February 2018, 01:33 PM

ok google did not help much. Would this be correct for an early datejust? Did it come with a specific model or was it offered a certain era? Does not seem to be very popular (not the prettiest bracelet).

the watch is an 1803.

someone offered me $2k for it. Is that fair? I can't find any for sale.

Never sell anything with Rolex on it unless you know exactly what you are doing.

Thank you Richard, that is also why i came to this forum.

It is worth about $1840 in scrap value alone.

Worth researching anyway as someone else said; not suggesting the scrap value is a valuation but is nice to know.

AZpcar1 · 12 February 2018, 07:48 AM

Id hate to see it get melted to scrap. Is there a market for it as a bracelet?

Not a huge demand.

I figured as much. Any info as to when/ how long these were made?

I have little use for it. I want to get a new president bracelet for the DD, and I am not a fan of this paved look either.

Take the 2k and put it toward a new president?

FWIW the DD has a jubilee bracelet on it now, it weighs 60grams :) . I was told it is a 1964 watch, number starts with 1749xxx, type 1803.
