Rolex Submariner Ref 168000.
Rolex Submariner Ref 168000 is a short transition model from
the transition model 16800 to mass run model 16610.
Though there was as usual no official announcement of how many
units were produced and for how long it was produced by Rolex. Rolex guru had
researched on this very special model, we estimated this model was made within
just 9 months since 1987. (1987-1988)
The major changes was to use 904L to replace 316L stainless
steel, since then, Rolex used 904L stainless steel o their watches.
Bottom plate was marked 16800, but the case is added extra
zero to “168000” an Extra Zero.
Bracelet is 93150
This special model appears on R series and 9XXXXXX.
Attached one is having a S/N of 9638XXX.
This is rare and if you are collector, how could you miss
this important minority from Rolex!
