Sub c double line engraved rehaut

Now here are the diffent glidelock braclets /clasps from 2010 to 2019

first is from 2010 and has a 2 didget sel code all bracelet from 2010 or earlier had this font and 2 didget also the clasp usually has 3 didget date code ask for instance if the sel says RS then most of the time the clasp code stamp will say RS then a number so perhaps RS6

Here take a look

also take note the inner clasp blades is the same length as the clasp these short bladed clasps come sand blasted only as they are old and from 2010 and the weird font on the sel.also the part that swivels to move the glidelock is a lot diffent to the modern glidelock with the longer blades they are double hinged

next we have the same sand blasted clasp bracelet from 2011 to 2014 that has inner blades that are longer than the clasp itself, I think they made the blades longer to make it easier to get onto the wrist

now the 2015 glidelock clasp with the polished and black inner blade is identical to the 2011 to 2014 sand blasted clasp so no need to post pics

new style on the right longer blades also see the diff in sel codes 3 didget vs 2 didget.the 3 didget sel code stamp is a random serial and came in 2011
note the font change


Here are the glidelock hinges see the difference between
them

and finally another example of a 2010 bracelet with the 2 didget sel code that matches the clasp

Like to thank you for the amazing & fruitful comparison.

I’m wondering if Rolex use Laser and/ or Diamond engraving for the rehaut and between the lugs?????
Maybe they use the same technology for the clasp engravings...

Their caseback engravings look like „Stamping“.
Which I couldn’t believe it is, as the casebacks are very thin material that may get distorted (when stamped)

I’m curious on that...
Maybe someone here „know“ and give me some light...

I could only „guess“ that the use Laser since 6 digit is on the market and Diamond before for the 4 to 5 digits (as back then Laser wasn’t available)
