Clockwork or p7 help!!

[C.r.a.i g]

Hi All,
1st post so I hope it's in the right place..
I recently purchased what I believe to be a clockwork, however the serial number from a list i found on here appears to be a p7 F703A0595. Looking for some help on the correct year.
Thank All

I think that's a 1997 build Clockwork - @rwm1962 is one of the Orange experts. @kingbling has one very close in serial number to yours https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads...work-club-show-your-bikes.127707/post-2690219

How do you mean?

Defo a Clocky. P7 had diamond shaped bottle bosses except for very 1st ones. 97 build as Sam says but classed as a 98 season even if available later in 97. One of the new Clockworks as the model name was reintroduced for 98 season to replace the C16R.

Thanks for the info, very much appreciated. The serial number list i was looking at appeared to show clockworks starting with A. The only numbers starting with F were for p7, hence my doubt. The clockwork decal on the top tube being a different font and individual lettering made me wander if they had been added sometime later.
