Question for nerds about bracelet

[Eppi]

There is a number in the bracelet of my Rolex Oyster Perpetual.
Is in the clasp next to the "steelinox" word.
It is just 3 digits: 989

Does this number mean something?

Previously these were a way to date code the bracelet/clasp when Rolex used a letter followed by a number. For many years now, these codes are random and the only significance is for Rolex and their internal inventory system.

So now they randomize everything that has to do with numbers
