I just got a Navitimer about 2 weeks ago from my AD. However on the back is just the started navitimer design and then the serial number. I got it with black leather deployment so I can't date the bracelet but I just wanted to make sure and confirm, even though all the warranty stuff obviously checks out fine.

Having the bracelet wouldn't have helped you much, as the bracelet can be produced at a different time than the watch. Check between the bottom lugs and you should find the manufacturing date.

Are you sure that you are checking the right place? Between the lugs at 6 o'clock? IIRC, if your navi is on a strap you might not even have to remove it to see the date. If there is no stamp there, something is wrong. BTW, this is all assuming that this is a late model navi. Older models may not have the stamp.
