Questions about 116613 and 116622

The model 116613 Sub With The Glide Lock System began to be manufactured with the V series? What year? 2008? And the YM 116622 what year began? 2008 also? V also? Thanks friends..
I want to swap my 116610 by any of them but still I hesitate. I need help from my friends in the Forum.

I'm not 100% sure when they were introduced but both watches are great! I've never owned they new style 116613 but I have owned a bluesy 16613. I do have a 116622 blue and man, it's the nicest rolex I've had by far. Whichever you choose will be a good choice. Sorry I couldn't really answer your question but good luck!

The 116613 was released in late 2009, from what is recall. Can't comment about the V serial, though.

The 116622 was released in 2012.

Both are fantastic watches and you can't go wrong with either one. Good luck.

116622 Blue is my all time favorite Rolex. I always liked the blue with the Blue leather deployment clasps, But I will likely go with a low cost used blue Briet first then find a good value on a SUB.

Blue dial 116622 was 2012. Man time flies.

Rolex does not release anything based on serial numbers.. They overlap considerably; so, no, you cannot say that something was released with V serials only....
