I have no worries about the authenticity of the watch I am meerly trying to educate myself as far as rolex bracelets and clasps are concurned.

The clasp has the number 7204a on it, as well as DE12 (Which I believe means the clasp was manufacterered in December 2001).

7204a I have assumed to be the model number of the clasp and bracelet? Is this correct? However haveing dug a bit deeper (or should I say putting this in to google) it seems to indicate that 7204a is the model number of a stainless steal bracelet from around the 60's?

If anyone can help explains this to me, or perhaps point out where I am going wrong that would be great.

EDIT: It also has end links 66B.
Well your K serial watch and what the serial means that by all the unofficial charts on the Internet we can get a rough estimate when the case/clasp was stamped.Now K serials the case was stamped some time between September 2001 and August 2002. The clasp code DE would indicate it was stamped sometime in 2001 and the 7204A is most probably the style of clasp.Now with all the codes and serials it don't always mean when the watch was made to the exact week, month, or year especially the slow selling precious metal watches..
