Submariner model changes

Hi everyone
I'm looking for a comprehensive Submariner model year change guide. Not just a list of the different serial numbers and model number classifications, but a visual guide of the changes made from year to year like the Uxxxxxxx serial number series with the solid stainless clasp to the one with gold in it to complete the gold in the bracelet. I've searche the net and I can't find anything that comprehensive. Does anyone here know of such a thing?
Thanks in advance.

That's a really cool book. I wonder if similar things exist for other models.

I think that same publisher has number of different books. I'm pretty sure they also had one for Daytona.


Yes they're expensive, but very nice books from what I understand.

Well now I know! Thank you. It kind of reminds me of the old adage, "be careful what you wish for". I asked for comprehensive. I'm sure I could look at that book for hours and hours but I'm not sure it's worth $850?!?!? But again thanks for everyone's help!
