gioarmani Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 The most recent Rolex rep's clasp code I've seen is "CL1", on Josh's and one other dealer's (which is the clasp code used from June/July of 2004 thru June/July 2005). For those who don't know, the clasp code is on the same part of the deployment buckle where it's stamped "Rolex, Steelinox, Registered Swiss made", etc: Here's a list of what is supposed to be the correct (gen) markings: YEAR CODE 1976 A 1977 B 1978 C 1979 D 1980 E 1981 F 1982 G 1983 H 1984 I 1985 J 1986 K 1987 L 1988 M 1989 N 1990 O 1991 P 1992 Q 1993 R 1994 S 1995 T or W 1996 V 1997 Z 1998 Z or W 1999 X 2000 AB 2001 DE 2002 DT 2003 AD 2004 CL 2005 MA 2006 OP 2007 (I'm not sure on this one) Most (rep) models now come with "AD10", which ran from the summer of '03 to '04. If I'm correct, I believe '03 was the first, recent year they started to make the (gen) cases without the springbar holes so for your rep case with no holes, AD10 should be sufficient. However, I would love to have a clasp that is marked "OP" or even whatever the current code is for the '07 model. Does anyone know if any of the dealers can get/currently offer this? I wonder if they can simply have the factory re-calibrate the clasp stamp machines to simply punch them with new letters... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 I'm not sure, but I wonder if SHITINERAND factors in somehow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gioarmani Posted November 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 My F series GMT II is stamped MA3. See, that's accurate. I'm guessing that's definitely a gen? I wish the factories would just update their stamps to the newer codes; it can't be that hard... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
