Subby's EXACTLY ONE year older than Platty - here's proof!!!

Hi guys,

Here's proof that Subby's just one year older than Platty!!

Subby's clasp - OP2 = Feb. 2006



Platty's clasp - EO2 = Feb. 2007

Is that set in stone as my GMT IIc clasp code says OP10, which would date it 2006. JJ, the watch was meant to be along with the platty.

Does the date of manufacture necessarily coincide with the manufacture date of the watch, or are they just simply the date of manufacture?

That's a good queston, Thomas. I think that date on the clasp indicates the date of manufacture of the bracelet itself. But it can at least give you an approximate date for the watch too.

Subby's a D-870XXX which would make it an early 2006 manufacture!!
