Rolex Bracelet Reference

Main Page › Bracelets, End Links, Clasps, Link Types

Rolex bracelets carry reference numbers, and many have numbered end links connecting them to the case. The tables below identify bracelets, end links and clasps and show watches documented with them. A clasp date belongs to the clasp; a bracelet or clasp may have been replaced during the life of a watch.

78350	Oyster solid link, 19mm	Listed in Rolex parts sheet, 1985	Solid	557, 557B, 571	Daytona 6263; Air-King 5500, 14000M, 14010M; Oyster Perpetual Date 15010	The 1985 sheet lists the 19mm bracelet and its steel end links; there is also a 17mm version. Rolex’s 2011 list pairs 557 with 5500 and 15010, 557B with 14000M and 14010M, and 571 with 6263.
78360	Oyster solid link, 20mm	1970s onward; reference-dependent	Solid	503 on 16520; 580 on other documented fittings	Daytona, GMT-Master, Explorer	On the Daytona 16520, the 78360 has brushed links; the later 78390 has polished centre links.
78390	Oyster solid link, 20mm	Middle part of the 16520 run	Solid	503B	Daytona	Polished centre links distinguish it from the brushed 78360. The Blackbird Watch Manual describes the 16520 progression.
78390A	Oyster solid link with solid end links, 20mm	Late 16520 production	Solid	Solid end links	Daytona	Its solid end links differ from the separate hollow 503B end links used with the 78390.
78490	Oyster with solid end links, 20mm	Listed in 2011 as replacement only	Solid	840 (2011 list)	Daytona 116520	Rolex’s 2011 U.S. list specifies 78490 with end piece 840 for the 116520 as a replacement; it also lists 78590 with end piece 843 for the same reference. One 116520, case D714004, has a clasp stamped 78490 and a guarantee dated 6 April 2006.

78790	Oyster, 20mm	1990s–2000s; reference-dependent	Solid	558B and 501B	Explorer 14270; Explorer II 16570; GMT-Master 16700	Rolex’s 2011 U.S. list pairs 558B with the 14270 and 501B with the 16700. Christie’s records 78790/501B on an Explorer II 16570. The 78790A has solid end links.
93150	Oyster solid link, 20mm	Listed in 1985; continued into later references	Solid	501, 580, 585, 593 in the 1985 sheet	Submariner, Sea-Dweller	Rolex sheet 323-3 lists the steel 93150 separately from the Rolesor 93153; the sheet records parts applicability, not a production end date.
62510H	Jubilee, 20mm, steel	Listed in Rolex parts sheet, 1985	Jubilee	502, 550, 555; 502B on the cited GMT lot	Datejust, GMT-Master	Rolex parts sheet 322-4 lists the steel 62510H separately from the steel-and-gold 62523H. Phillips records a 62510H with 502B end links on a GMT-Master 1675.
93250	Oyster with solid end links, 20mm, steel	16610 generation	Solid	801 on the cited example	Submariner 16610	Phillips records a steel Submariner 16610 with a 93250 bracelet, 801 end links and a DT3 clasp.
78363	Oyster, 20mm, steel and yellow gold	Five-digit generation	Solid	Hollow end links; exact fitting varies	Daytona 16523	The steel-and-gold 78363 was used on the Daytona. The later 78393 has polished centre links; the changeover date is uncertain.
8385	President, 20mm, gold	Vintage Day-Date generation	President	Varies by individual bracelet	Day-Date

Sotheby's photographs a President bracelet on an exact-reference 218349; its bracelet number is not visible.
78668	Oyster solid link, 20mm (18k yellow gold)	M12 clasp dated 1988; production span uncertain	Solid	103	Daytona	Christie's records a deployant clasp stamped 78668 and end links stamped 103 on Daytona 16528 case R985336. Antiquorum lists a 78668 bracelet with an M12 clasp on case R985236. The M clasp code corresponds to 1988.
78398	Oyster solid link, 20mm (18k yellow gold)	T12 clasp dated 1995; production span uncertain	Solid	193 and 103 (watches with 78398-stamped clasps)	Daytona 16528, 16568	Two auctioned gold Daytona 16528s have 78398 clasps: case X435057 with 193 end links and case W280316 with 103. A 16568, case W123747, also has a 78398 clasp and 103 end links. The X435057 clasp is marked T12, dated to 1995 by a collector chart; Phillips dates the watch to circa 1991. The clasp or bracelet may have been replaced; these catalogues identify the clasp, not the bracelet reference. Rolex’s 2011 U.S. price list offers 78398 as a replacement for both references.
97200	Oyster, 20mm, steel	40mm ceramic Submariner generation	Solid	Solid end links	Submariner 116610LN / 116610LV	Glidelock clasp. Phillips lot 232849 documents 97200 on a 116610LN. Other watch families and the later 41mm Submariner use different bracelet references.
97203	Oyster, 20mm, steel and yellow gold	40mm ceramic Submariner generation	Solid	Solid end links	Submariner 116613	Glidelock clasp. The later 41mm references use different bracelet numbers.

97209	Oyster, 20mm, white gold	40mm ceramic Submariner generation	Solid	Solid end links	Submariner 116619	Gaston & Sheehan lot 75 records bracelet 97209 on a white-gold 116619.

End links

End links connect a bracelet to the case between the lugs. Their shape and number help identify the fitting, but a suitable match depends on both the bracelet and the watch case. Letter suffixes do not consistently identify a particular finish or construction.

Ref	Bracelet	Case application	Construction	Evidence	Notes
58	7206	Vintage 20mm Oyster cases	Hollow	White, Field Manual pp. 210-211	Fitting varies by case; it is not a 9315 end link.

This is an auctioned configuration; original delivery and broader case fitment remain unverified.
71	7205	Daytona cases 6239, 6240 and 6241	Hollow	White, Field Manual pp. 210-211	The Field Manual pairs the rivet Oyster 7205 (19mm) with end link 71 on these cases.
574	62510H	19mm Jubilee applications	Hollow	Rolex sheet 322-3, 1985; Antiquorum lot 344-304	The sheet lists 574 in steel, with Rolesor versions 474-3 and 474-37. Antiquorum catalogues a Jubilee bracelet as "62510H, 574".
593	78360; 93150	78360: Explorer II 16550 and GMT-Master 16700; 93150: case application unspecified	Hollow	Rolex sheet 323-3, 1985; White, Field Manual	The 1985 sheet lists 593 with the 93150. The Field Manual pairs 593 with the 78360 on the 16550 and 16700.
80	7206	Submariner and other documented 20mm cases	Hollow	White, Field Manual pp. 210-211	Rivet-bracelet fitting; the stamp is not a production-year code.

501B	78360, 93150	Explorer II 16550 catalogue and fitment-table examples	Hollow	Vintage Rolex Field Manual; Antiquorum example	On the Explorer II 16550, the Field Manual lists 501B with both the 78360 and 93150. Antiquorum’s 2021 Hong Kong lot 244 also records a 78360/501B pairing on one watch.
502B	62510H	GMT-Master 1675 in the cited lot	Hollow	Phillips Geneva 2018, lot 19	Phillips records it on a Jubilee bracelet. The lot includes a 2005 service guarantee, so it documents that watch's recorded configuration.
503	78360	Daytona 16520	Hollow	Blackbird Watch Manual; Field Manual	Brushed-bracelet fitting.
503B	78390	Daytona 16520	Hollow	Blackbird Watch Manual; Field Manual	Polished-centre bracelet fitting. It is distinct from the solid end link of the 78390A.
571	78350-19	Daytona 6263	Hollow	Rolex sheet 322-8, 1985; Rolex U.S. list, 2011	Rolex’s 2011 list pairs the 78350 with end piece 571 for the 6263. The list records parts availability rather than original delivery.

585	93150	Sea-Dweller	Hollow	Rolex sheet 323-3; White, Field Manual pp. 210-211	The sheet lists the part; White's Field Manual identifies the Sea-Dweller application.
integral-modern	Bracelet-specific	Varies with the exact watch and bracelet references	Solid	Modern reference specifications	Solid end links describe construction; bracelet and end-link numbers vary by generation, including between the 40 mm and 41 mm Submariners.
57	Vintage 19mm Oyster	Explorer 5500, 1965 Phillips lot	Hollow	Phillips Geneva FOUR 2016, lot 22	The 1965 Explorer 5500 in Phillips lot 22 has a riveted Oyster bracelet with end links stamped 57 and 357. Both markings appear on this one watch; the lot does not date a broader changeover.
357	Vintage 19mm Oyster	Explorer 5500, 1965 Phillips lot	Hollow	Phillips Geneva FOUR 2016, lot 22; White, Field Manual pp. 210–211	A 357 end link appears on a 19 mm Explorer 5500. The Explorer 1016 has documented 20 mm bracelet fitments; this lot does not establish compatibility.
557	78350-19	Air-King 5500, Oyster Perpetual Date 15010 and other 19mm cases	Hollow	Rolex sheet 322-8, 1985; Rolex U.S. list, 2011	The 1985 sheet pairs 557 with 78350-19. In 2011 Rolex listed the combination for 5500 and 15010; the list records parts availability, not original delivery.

Clasps

Clasp markings use a separate dating system from case serial numbers. The clasp generation determines which date table applies to its stamp.

Generation overview

Generation	Years	Refs that used it	Distinguishing features
Vintage folding clasp	Reference-dependent	Rivet and folded Oyster bracelets	Stamped folding blades. Logo and date-stamp variations need comparison with the same bracelet type.
Vintage safety clasp	Reference-dependent	93150; later Daytona bracelet variants	The extra safety latch distinguishes it from a plain folding clasp. Not every 78350 or 78360 has one.
Modern Oysterlock / Oysterclasp	Reference-dependent	Modern reference-specific bracelets	Oysterlock names a safety clasp; Oysterclasp does not necessarily have that extra latch. The extension mechanism is a separate feature.
Easylink	Reference-dependent	Selected Oyster bracelets	A folding comfort link adds approximately 5mm. It is not fitted to every modern sports bracelet.
Glidelock	Reference-dependent	Submariner; selected Oysterflex references	A sliding adjustment system. The Submariner version offers about 20mm in 2mm steps; the current Daytona 126515LN also uses Glidelock with Oysterflex.

A clasp code dates the clasp. The folding blade and safety latch help identify its type; the coronet alone appears on several generations.

Date-code key

The year codes below follow the collector chart in The Vintage Rolex Field Manual, p. 211, with CP for 2011 added from Oyster Club. These are estimates, not a Rolex production record; collector charts disagree on some 1990s codes. The number after a year code has more than one published reading. Oysterinfo reads it as the month, while the Field Manual reads AB3 as the third quarter of 2000. The sources do not agree on that example. The chart uses S for 1994; an additional S can mark a service replacement.

Code	Year	Code	Year	Code	Year
A or VA	1976	M	1988	DT	2002
B or VB	1977	N	1989	AD	2003
C or VC	1978	O	1990	CL	2004
D or VD	1979	P	1991	MA	2005
E or VE	1980	Q	1992	OP	2006
F or VF	1981	R	1993	EO	2007
G	1982	S	1994	PJ	2008
H	1983	T or W	1995	LT	2009
I	1984	U or V	1996	RS	2010
J	1985	U or Z	1997	CP	2011
K	1986	W or Z	1998
L	1987	X	1999
		AB	2000
		DE	2001

Randomized clasp codes began appearing around 2011 and have no public year mapping. The bracelet reference and clasp construction remain useful for identification. Oyster Club, clasp-code chart

Earlier clasps also carry numeric stamps. Christie's describes a ref. 6426 bracelet marked "3 64" as dating from 1964; an Antiquorum lot records "3-67". These descriptions do not establish whether the first number denotes a month or a quarter. Christie's, ref. 6426

Link construction types

Rivet, folded and solid refer to how the links are made. Oyster, Jubilee and President describe the bracelet designs; an Oyster bracelet, for example, can have riveted, folded or solid links.

Style	Years	Identifying features	Bracelet refs using
Rivet	Vintage	Rivet heads are visible along the sides. Stretch and fixed-link versions are separate types.	6635, 7205, 7206
Folded	Vintage	Folded sheet-metal links without exposed side rivets.	7835, 7836, 9315
Solid link	Reference-dependent	Solid link bodies; end links can still be hollow. Centre-link construction differs on precious-metal and Rolesor variants.	78350, 78360, 78390, 93150, 93250 and later Oyster references
Jubilee	From 1945	Five-piece link design. Construction varies by generation.	62510H; Rolesor 62523H
Oyster	Reference-dependent	Three-piece link design, made in riveted, folded and solid-link versions.	7206, 7836, 78360, 97200 and others
President	From 1956	Three-piece links with a rounded profile, in gold or platinum. Precious-metal content does not mean every vintage link is solid throughout.	8385 and later President references
Pearlmaster	From 1992	Five-piece rounded-link design; gem setting depends on the version.	Reference-specific
Oysterflex	From 2015	Elastomer over flexible metal blades. The extension system depends on the watch: Rolex specifies Glidelock for the current Daytona 126515LN.	Reference-specific
