2010 Serial Numbers

Does anyone know if the 2010 watches start with a letter or is it just 10 digits,should it always have a letter somewhere ?.

The new numbering system is random but does still contain letters.....Just no longer at the start of the numbering!!

The new serial number sequence contains at least 1 letter and the rest is numbers totaling 7 or 8 digits. The letters have been seen scattered among the numbers and I have even seen an example where a single letter, D in this case was at the end of 6 or 7 numbers. I have a brand new 16610 that begins with the letter "G" and is followed by all numbers. There appears to be no rhyme or reason to the order anymore.

Will the serial number still be on the watch between the lugs on a 2010 watch.
