What are the first 3 numbers after the "Z"? This will give you an idea of when it's from.

Anyway, what date is on your certificate??

Well, that is what is called a "late Z-series". My guess is that the watch is from October (or so) 2007.

The first Z-series' watches started with Z and then OOXXXX.

For example, I have an early M series' SS Daytona:

M041XXX. (from 29th. of September 2007).

The SS GMT IIc i bought on the 7th. of December 2007 has the serial number:

M27XXXX.

Not sure if this is already answered above but I have a SD Z321XXX purchased new in July 2007. Does this stack up?

Thanks

The bracelet would have been made in July 2007 then. When did you buy the watch?
