Both codes have been seen for that span, so either could be correct..

Agree! Thanks however I was wondering if the V meant something (like the S does for a service bracelet) other than the year as it mirrors the single letter bracelet codes:

A or VA 1976
B or VB 1977
C or VC 1978
D or VD 1979
E or VE 1980

Could it be a certain location the bands were manufactured or identify the manufacturer (if Rolex outsourced them). Just wondering as it seems odd to have more than one bracelet code for these years.
