I just took delivery of an 1103 from brochhi. received it ten days ago. It
has the funny extra sticker on it and there was a tiny slip of paper inside
the box, looks like a Quality Control tag. It has a date: 04 08 11. Does
this mean November 8, 2004?

I don't know if it means Nov 8, or Aug 11, but the
circular sticker is only on the post 9/28 1103s as far as I
know.
You might want to join the Yahoo group and inquire there.
