16613 TT Series (Blue dial)

[kclee]

Hi

Not sure if this has been posted before but does anyone has a record of the chronological listing of all 16613 TT blue dial series and production years?

i know there are "A", "U", "Z" etc but i like to know the full list and their approximate production years and also any differences in the design, materials for the different series.

Any Rolex guru can help?

Thanks

No need rolex guru for the production year question...

The production letter/code, as part of the serial no., is not specific to models but apply to all rolex watches. Google or do a search in this forum and you will find the table.

As to what differences are there in design/material for the different series of 16613, I think you need a guru...but still I suggest you try googling...

as for the diff in older 16613 and the newer 16613 is the clasp/bucket part, older 16613 comes in stainless steel while newer 16613 comes with a matching 2 tone one which is the same as the bracelet.

Cheers.

And that was the table I was referring to as easily available in the www Actually I had found it for you but came back to see that bro zidan had already posted.

thanks to everyone.

i have 1 more question which may sound silly

assuming a pre-owned V series is selling for $7000, can i reasonably expect a pre-owned M series to be selling for slightly (say $200) lower, all toher things like condition being equal?

is that some kind of step-ladder pricing as we go down the table?

Thanks again.

V series is supposedly commands a higher price than the M series as it is newer. The 16613 should be ard 7.3k ba depending on the condition.

Y000001 ...................Mid 2002
F000001 ...................Mid 2003
D000001 ...................Early 2005
Z000001 ...................Early 2006
M000001 ...................Late 2007
V000001 ...................Late 2008 - NEW

But don't go mainly on the series of the watch, rather go for the CONDITION of the watch. I saw a 2000 Sub banged and scratched up.. and top of that no box&papers. I also saw an earlier Sub 90s and in complete set and very mint. If its an old model but has been taken cared off with regular servicing from a reliable watchmaker or best the RSC it will run & look like a new watch. Note that servicing it on RSC is pricey especially if they decide to get new parts for it. But if you just want a yearly service done to it, I saw a thread here where someone service it for 100$.
