Hello,

I was wondering when the new blue sunburst dial submariner with two tone bracelet became available?

And whether rolex changed movement between the new blue and flat blue (old one) models and if not what other changes were made to the new model if any?

I have searched the web for this information and I haven't been able to ascertain all the changes.

My local AD doesn't appear to know about the new model and wants to sell me the older flat blue model.

Thanks

Madhav

I was changed to the new darker sunburst dial at the 2013 baselworld

It took until late October for me to get one. It was worth the wait.

This is a surprise! I haven't seen the Sub C TT in a while. I saw one several years ago and was disappointed at the lack of lustre in the blue dial (like the 16613 had). Have since bought a Sub C in SS. Guess I will no reconsider acquiring one of these.

The movement is exactly the same cal 3135 that was first introduced in 1988, except now they may have the in-house made escapement parts.Dial wise its just a slightly different shade of blue myself prefer the older blue dial.The 116613 ceramic launched Basel 2013 at ADs later around September October time its a nice looking watch but like I said I prefer the old blue.
