The design has changed significantly over the years, more than once.

what is the most current? There is one that looks and feels a lot less "secure". I have seen/ felt one with a bar-type connection and another with a simple friction-type hook, the latter feeling less secure.

Sorry- I cant get my pictures to post but here are two other examples here in TRF:
The secure feeling clasp: http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=158837 The loose feeling clasp: http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=158271 I know the second one is a DayDate II but I have seen the same clasp on other DayDate models. Personaly, I like the first one better; it feels more secure. |

Here are pictures of two of the different style clasps used on Day-Dates. The first picture is the older style and the second is the new style clasp used currently. The changeover took place around 2003.

thank you very much- that helps me know that the local retailer that is selling one of the older clasp watches has been sitting on it for a while.
