Sub-C Clasp Code

[denzo]

Hi

Can anyone date the following clasp code on a Submariner C:

2RW

Thanks

Mine has C2H.

Had this discussion on an old thread. Apparently it's just a random code now, like the serial codes.
Understand the clasp codes on older Rolexes do reference to a certain date.

All the Internet codes could ever tell you was a aproximation when a case or clasp was stamped.And not when a completed watch was fully assembled and shipped to a AD for sale.And as the Subc is a new watch and launched at Basel 2010 you can safely say your clasp was stamped sometime toward mid 2010 till present time 2011.

Thanks all

I didn't appreciate that Rolex also introduced Random Clasp Codes too.

Mods - please close this thread.

Why its just a bunch of numbers much like on anything you buy like say TV fridge etc do you ask them when it was made.And will one case/clasp stamp last longer than any other case/clasp stamp.If bought new you get the same two year warranty no matter what the letters numbers are. And all any of the Internet codes could ever tell you was a approximation when a case/clasp was stamped and not when a complete watch was made.And in general its only the very slow models like say gold ones are at the AD long enough to gather dust.

Nope - I was just intrigued and curious that's all !! Yes, I know all about the codes and case code quandry versus when they could have been cast by Rolex, assembled, shipped and sold from dealers.

I just read my clasp code on my Sub-C and was interested in whether these were manufactured way before the actual launch of the C ..

merci, le fin
