When did Rolex start using 904L steel on their watches?

Are all their watches in steel treated with such ever since? What models?

Rolex starting using 904L around 1987 in most models now all models mainly use 904L for cases etc.There are loads of threads like one below on 316L and 904L in forum just do a search.

I'm thrilled they are using 904L now. I've seen
many pitted & corroded Vintage Rolex cases & case backs.

You'll still see pitted and corroded cases/casebacks....just less severe in some cases.
