16610 T/Non-T Bracelet History?

[rolexinfl]

I have a 2002 Y-Serial 16610 (Holes case/Non-T) and I have no way of knowing if it's even been in for service prior to my ownership recently, but I noticed the other day while comparing photos of similar models that mine has a 93250 bracelet even though it's a holes case, and not a 93150 with under-side ears.

If I remember correctly, all holes cases came with the 93150 bracelet with the ears on the underside due to the bracelet being able to be removed due to the side holes and the 93250 was introduced on the later 16610 T-series cases with no holes on the lugs so that the band could be removed from the underside? (Also the snap-in dive extension was added onto the 93250 as a side note)

So essentially what I'm asking is - is this a service bracelet (proving the watch was in for service at some time after 2002) or did some 16610 holes non-T cases come with 93250 bracelets during a transition period?

Yes. Something like 3-4 years in the early 2000's.

You can also check the clasp code on your bracelet. Should be "DT" (or maybe "AD") to match the head.

Ya, mine's DT on the clasp.

Yes, my Y series purchased at a AD had a 93250 bracelet.
