?'s about TT Rolex Sub...

Hey guys i'm in the market for a TT rolex sub with blue dial. What are some changes if any that they've made since say the early 90's? Thanks!

1. Solid end links.
2. Holes in lugs are gone.
3. Gold is applied to the clasp center to match the rest of the bracelet.
4. Full links in the dive extension part instead of the stamped hinge.

5. A Rolex engraved Rehaut
6. An etched crown in the crystal at 6 o'clock
7. The Hologram is history
8. No numbers on the back of the bracelet (they are at the end of the endlink)

The movement is unchanged

9. It used to only cost an arm. Now it is an arm and a leg!

a 16803 is the transitional model of the t.t. sub-and yes anstasios-it is worth something,ideally it would be close to what the 16800 cost(about 5k)-yet I find it is actually a little cheaper(not sure why),you would think it would be slightly higher because of the gold...???but that just shows-it takes a wizard to read the trends of the market place..
