Welcome to TRF!

It's just the ref. # for the endlink.

Here is a good chart showing various bracelet and corresponding endlink types. "SEL" means Solid End Link, btw.:

That would be the ref. 93150 (12 links, non solid end links, no "O" marked diver's link).

Only the blade of the clasp that attaches directy to the 6 o' clock side is marked with the bracelet ref. #.

Url to bracelets (scroll well down).

Hi Bo. Just bought a Sub 16610 late Z series. I wonder why the bracelet does not have any code when it is supposed to be 93250

That's odd. The 93250 is indeed the ref. # for the Sub Date Oyster Fliplock bracelet.

And I guess you did look on the bent sheet steel blade of the clasp?

Here's a pic of the 93160 code of my SD (just to show where the code ought to be):


On older Sub Dates, the bracelet code was also engraved on the underside of the last bracelet link before the endlink, but this is not done anymore.

The 9315 could come with either the 280 or the 380 endlinks.

Do you mean "93250" on the end links or the clasp blades? It should be on the clasp blade along with a date code. Mine is E06 for June of '07. But because the endlinks are solid, the stamping appears on the end of the end link and not the underside. In other words, you need to remove the bracelet to see the number.

So there is a number on :
- clasp = 93150 but it refers to the bracelet which has no numbers ?
- endlinks = any numbers on them ?

Why don't I see the no date in the tables ?
