Do Day/Date 18k "President" clasps have date codes?
Just curious...
I've nosed around on mine and haven't seen one but it could be that I'm unsure what I'm looking for. I know their stainless counterparts indeed have these year/month codes so I am in need of clarification. Many thanks in advance :) |

Look again. It should be there.
Like in this picture. See the "L" on the clasp? That's the approximate date code. I have also seen quite a few others without any markings. |

Yes the clasp will have a code such as 8 DT. Previously it was possible with the clasp code to determine when the bracelet was made.

IIRC, even clasp codes have now gone "random" in their 3 character sequence so dating will become impossible (like with case numbers now).

Not totally true a rough indication when the clasp was stamped nothing more, thats if the codes charts are correct as nothing is released official from Rolex.
