Rolex Clasp Codes

[simonda]

Do gold Rolex have a clasp code to date the watch? If not how can you determine date without taking off the bracelet?

[MonBK]

No

[simonda]

OK. So is there a way of aging them?

[MonBK]

Date the watch not the bracelet

Here are the clasp codes for when the bracelet was made up to 2011 from Sheldon, a fellow TRF member. Scroll down on this link to find them:

That's a wonderful clasp code list but on a gold Rolex the clasp looks like this.

On a President.

Older bracelet (gold or not) may have no indication.

Look on the other flat bar part of the clasp Sub Mon. There should be three digits.

I see it on the President. Is it AD9?

Apologies to both of you, my mistake.

This is a F series 118238 that has the code and I meant to post a pic of the 18038.

So it is correct on the 118238.

Look at the flat bar on the Submariner, and see if there is a bracelet code there, and let us know.

I wish I could but I don't have the watch anymore.

I'll see if I have anymore pics saved of it.
