Hi and welcome to TRF.

Can't seem to find the clasp code with W on it......so maybe a picture of the bracelet and watch will help us to help you.

I have a "w5" on a 93150, on my W serial Exp2, which was an upgrade bracelet. I'll be curious to see what the feedback is.

[astintrew]

what do u mean by upgrade bracelet? thanks

[AllanChasse]

I believe the W serial, circa '94 roughly, did not yet have a flip lock clasp, so there was an upgrade before I purchased my watch from a reputable used watch dealer in the last several months. Sorry I can't be more specific, but I simply do not know. I am curious to know roughly when these 93150 bracelets were offered.
Kindly,
Allan

When I looked up CLASP CODES under Oysterworld, there was no "W" listed.

Dave has already answered your question.. Now I realized that I have V3 on my clasp which means March 1996.

Thanks Dave for this information ! ... This is a very useful post.
