Clasp code matching case serial number
Hey all,
Just wondering, if you were to buy a watch and the clasp code would be different by 2 years from the case serial number (per the internet). Would you think that the bracelet was originally fitted with the watch or suspect a foul play? |

Too many variables here. Which serial reference guide are you using? Post the example.. |

If I recall correctly, this is an anomally that spanned the Y-serial over a couple of years of production. This was discussed by @Tools in another thread. I will try to find it. |

Do you have papers? Serial case numbers and clasp code dating are approximations and only Rolex knows. I would allow for +/- 2 years in either direction.

Case and clasp codes are all a approx date when the parts were stamped between X&Y years which is not always when any completed watch was made.Y serials ran from 2002 into 2003 possibly longer and clasps are made separate to the bracelets.

If the dates were like 10+ years off yes that points to a replacement bracelet. |

A Y serial would span 02-04, easily; and a CL bracelet code is usually accepted to be '04. Even those who believe that they came out sequentially would agree that a Y87xxx would be at the latest date. They are a match, not "different by 2 years". ![]()
