The clasp code can be found on the inside of the clasp itself (I need a magnifier with my old eyes) and is likely to be one of the following in your example:
DE
DT
AD
followed by a number. The letter code is the year of production, (DE=2001, DT=2002 and AD=2003) and the number is the month. To put it together, a clasp code of AD7 would indicate that the bracelet was manufactured in July of 2003 and likely paired up with a case that didn't have holes. If the letters are anything else (or an S for service), the bracelet may have been manufactured later.
