TT Blue Sub 16613 vs 16803

I have been lurking around for a Blue TT Sub, I had the newest one on my wrist last week, but the $13k price tag is not going to happen and I am not trading my DSSD, so that means I will be looking for a preowned model.

What are the difference between the 16613 and the 16803? The jeweler where I bought my PAM 005 will have a 16803 in Jan, it is being serviced now, I told him a price of $5000 and he mentioned the 16803.

I love the blue that is on my wrist below, how does the blue in the 16803 compare to that blue?

The 16803 was a transitional model of sorts and wasn't around very long. I think 1985 late to around what? 1987 or so. Maybe a bit later. It was replaced by the 16613. The 16803 has a sapphire crystal, 3035 movement, and 300m WR. So 100m more than the 1680 and sapphire to boot.

Personally I'd have the 16803 myself

The 16613 is one of the most beautiful Rolexes ever made, IMHO. Go for a nice clean one with SELs, no holes case and gold through the clasp.

Thanks, I have been lurking around, in no hurry, I do like the gol thru the clasp option, I wish I could try both versions on to see which felt better.

Anyone own both 16613 and 16803 that can put up side by side photos?
