· ·Often mistaken for AI...I think it's generally accepted that Omega 1175 bracelets do not have date stamps. I have two 1175 bracelets with date stamps on the clasp hinge.
Note that the date stamps are not in the same position on the clasp as say for example a 1039. The stamps appear on the hinge.
What's more, one date has a "10", as opposed to a 1, 2, 3, or 4 that signifies the quarter of the year. The "10" appears with the "71". It's possible that in 1969 they used quarters but in 1971 they switched to months?
Perhaps others who have 1175 bracelets may want to look for date stamps on their hinges.
Postscript: there are many threads on bracelets, including threads with the 1175. Rather than appending to one of those, I thought a new thread might get more attention from others who may have ignored another bracelet post.
PPS: if my bracelets are not anomalies and other 1175s have date stamps, my apologies to @eugeneandresson for giving him yet another feature to obsess over.![Big Grin :D :D](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png)
PPPS: I could be late to the party and this is already known, in which case I will gladly eat humble pie later.
