I can only assume that the cases and bracelets are manufactured in quantity then filled as needed.

Just think how many cases and say oyster bracelets plus say cal 3135 movements are sitting on shelves.Plus the ones at COSC and returning from the COSC after testing.This whole clasp case date is just complete theory nonsense. Because in movements like the cal 3135 now around 450000 a year plus .The actual movement could be older newer or visa versa, and thats the most important bit and not a silly clasp code.
