No Holes

Can someone tell me in what year did the Submariner come out with no holes in the lugs. I have read it somewhere but cant find it now.

From the very late Y-series, i.e. around first quarter of 2004.

Well, you know us Americans, we're lazy, overweight and want everything handed to us on a silver platter!

GDK, just messing around with you/us! No offense meant!
For me, learning all the nuances that the brand has to offer is the fun part.

You guys are all wrong.........

The Submariner still has holes cases and the old 93150 hollow end-link bracelet..

It's only that new-fangled Sub Date that got the no-holes case......
