You can determine the age of the bracelet by looking at the codes on the clasp. The age of the watch is determined by using the serial number located between the lugs in the 6 o'clock position. You can check the codes on the clasp and serial numbers at www.oysterworld.de Keep in mind that these are estimates and not 100% accurate.

No, not too much stuff. Don't even think about eliminating any of it please. I think people just jump in here and start asking questions without searching. I know I used to do a lot more of that than now. Maybe something in the header to the effect that one can use the search feature to find the answers to many of his/her questions. I think everyone who uses a computer know what FAQ's are. Maybe it should be set up that way so that it's used more often. I'd hate to see all the work that has gone into compiling all this info get tossed.

You can tell how old it is by counting the rings inside.

Sorry...Dont mean to Hijack, but I think the OP got her answer.

Agree with Buz Larry.

Organized links (just for example) - A model # matrix- Bracelets specs - Serial #s - Pricing + other categories may help keep traffic within the bounds of TRF.

I have seen several links to other sites in posts - guilty of making them myself - and have seen reminders from you re: the fact we have this data. That would seem to indicate some of the linking off could be remedied by some minor design tweaks.

My 2 cents. BTW, I LOVE this site!
