Icon5 Newbie question Re: Sub LV "M serial" bracelet

I recently acquired a new, to me anyway, Sub LV M serial. I've noticed on many of the pics uploaded that some bracelets have the style, in this case 93250, stamped into the last link.

My concern is that my watch doesn't have this stamp. Should I be concerned? I purchased the timepiece from a highly trusted TRF vendor, but I just want to be sure.

Thanks in advance for your helpful replies.

FWIW my D serial does not have this info on the last link of the bracelet either.

I believe it should be inside one of the endlinks.

Thanks for the insight. I'll be sure to check for that when I put it on a NATO.

Not to worry!! My M serial 16610LV does not have the bracelet number stamped on it either. The new bracelets have the style number engraved inside the end links. You will have to remove it to see the markings

Rolex stopped stamping the links a few years back...

The part number is now stamped on the inside of the SEL.. along with a date stamp too....
