It seems that the non-date 5513 is more expensive to buy. A 16800 is the less expensive to for Snobs to consider!
In the early 1980's the Ref. 1680 was the first fitted with a synthetic sapphire crystal and the caliber 3035 movement and renumbered as Ref. 16800.
The early version of the Rolex Submariner Date Ref. 16800 is considered transitional since the model still carried the matt dial but was now rated to 300 meters (1,000 feet) and equipped with the new movement.
It is a great watch to buy, an all round watch to wear with a taste of Classic. Note the Great Colour of the Index!!
Now I have one asking only at HKD$39,000. Complete with all originals dial, parts, movement, crowns strap, and an extra thick cowhide strap for our special day!
