Model Number = Year of Manufacture?
Hi! What does DJ-16220 or 16610 signify? Can you get the year of manufacture from these model/serial numbers? (If there's an existing thread for this, I'd appreciate the help.) Thanks!

Welcome
No, you cannot derive a date from those numbers.. a 16220 is the model number for a Datejust and 16610 is the model number for a stainless steel Submariner.. If you have a serial number, which is located on the case side, under the bracelet link, you can use a commonly available chart that will give you an approximation of when that serial number was manufactured. Some of your questions can be answered here: http://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=8478
