Out of curiosity, does anyone know the type of steel used in the 78790A bracelet?

Is 316L also used then on other bracelets of the same period, say 93150 and 93160?

As I understand it, 316L is all they have ever used in all SS brecelets.
It's only the case that is now 904L... [Edit: My bad; more research showed me that this is not correct. The bracelets are also 904L now.]
