1992 Rolex prefixes

Anyone here know whether Rolex made any changes through 1992? Depending on which reference you use,. X, N and C prefixes all seem to be in a very narrow time span.

Well, the Yachtmaster was introduced in 1992, but what's so special about:

X 1991
N 1991 (Nov)
C 1992
S 1993



IMHO, it is just a reflection of price increases.

Bo, depending on which reference you use those prefixes all show up around 1992. Was just wondering why Rolex did so many prefix changes in such a short time.

I don't know, but did gold price go crazy at that time?

Maybe Rolex had to adjust prices accordingly and the serial #, too, to reflect it.
