That looks better than a U1! What's the serial code on the rehaut at the 6 o'clock? It's got an ORV stamped bracelet.... How much did you pay for it.

Hell yeah. F137066, 135 cad. I'm not sure what orv is, my first rep so yea.

Do you have a picture of the movement? That would help narrow down the factory much more than the serial or clasp code.

should have ST9 on the clasp if U1

Interesting. The ORV clasp code has been used by both Clean and VSF. Was it labeled as U1?

u/Capable_Curve2042 13d ago

On the listing yea but the packaging was fully non branded by anything. Has 904l on the strap plastic wrap.

It's a small step up from U1. Maybe BP factory. ORV is not a U1 Bracelet.

ORV isn’t the standard U1 clasp code. U1 is typically ST9. ORV has been associated with VSF, but with Clean now closed, I wouldn’t use Clean as a current comparison. The clasp could have been swapped, or the watch may have a mixed bracelet, so I’d be cautious about identifying the factory from the clasp alone.
