First year of 16613?

Can someone tell me the first year of the 16613? Was the 16803 the transitional model?

It has been a while since I owned a sub, and I'm rusty. Not to mention my subs were always all steel, never a TT. I have a 16613 on hold and am anxious to learn more about it.

I never understood the TT sub until I overhauled one for a friend a few months back. Afterwards I had to have one.

His was a no-holes SEL. Mine will have holes and non-SEL.

.

16610 and 16613 1st appearance is Q1 1989.

Lug holes up to 2003, and SEL introduction with new band 93250/93253 in 2000.

Thanks, that is helpful. Was there any overlap in the models?

Was there ever a 16613 that used the 3035 movement with open 6 and 9 date?

.

No 3035 for 16613. 16610/13/18 were there to introduce the 3135.

. Dial :
89 to 98 : SWISS-T< 25
98 to 99 : SWISS
00 To 10 : SWISS MADE

. laser etched coronet in 99

. with the end of lug holes 16613 become 16613T in 2003

. engraved rehaut in 07

Wow, incredible knowledge. Thank you!

It seems the 16803 is somewhat rare. Is it worth more money than an early 16613?
