I'm not sure about other models but the Explorer II seems to have no set date for anything. The changes were perhaps made at a set time but this manifested itself a little all over the place. This can also be seen in the quoted article, which is the best reference I have come across. My own 16570 is quite original but is a 1999 model with a 1998 original bracelet, a Swiss Made dial and drilled lugs. Looking at some published dates for changes, my watch should not be possible. It is however quite original. So for yours.... yes perhaps.
