It would also state either 14 or 18 on the clasp after the bracelet part no.

Yes.................that's the one!!

SLS · 27 January 2010, 06:55 AM

The 62523 is the bracelet ref # and the H 14 is the date code, which dates the clasp & bracelet to 1983. Usually the numbers are 1-12, which represent the month.

Correct about the "H" bit, but the 14 represents 14K.

If it were 18K, then you would find 18 after the "H".

Sorry ? Call me an absolute idiot , but if you state that H14 stands for the date code . I accept the H for '83 but on which calendar do you find the 14th month ?

That is why I said USUALLY it is 1-12, but in this case it's not. As JJ pointed out, it refers to 14K.

It would look like this.

I did gather that Scott , I was only joking . Does Rolex still use 14k ? I believe that was mainly for the german market back then , they even had a full DD president in 14K . How about the US ?

Tools · 27 January 2010, 07:15 AM

In this case the H is part of the bracelet part number..such as 62510H for the typical modern D ring non-SEL Jubilee found on many SS watchs... or the more recent Oyster 78790A on GMT's and Exp II's..

Date codes will be stamped separately from the pn...

That's where I am a bit confused too. The OP states he has a TT and the bracelet reference also ends in a 3, which denotes TT. I was chalking it up to the fact that Rolex was doing a few things differently in 1983.

I know my 18K fluted bezel is more brillant than the 14K, I did a side to side check.

How dare you ask Leo if it's a TT?

Of course it's a full gold, a TT bracelet have a SS clasp so it will never says 14 or 18K.

Sounds about right.

My brand new TT DJ 16013 bought in Oct. 1980 had a serial no. 630XXXX......so that no. above seems fine for a 1979 model.

:thinkin g:

If your serial # is 595xxx like you say it dates to 1960.

If however it is 595xxxx then it's a 1979.
