16613
Hello to everyone, my first post in the forum...
I'm looking forward on buying a new Submariner 16613 (blue version). Reading a bit, I find several terms such as: "M serial" "NIB" "ceramic bezzel" "SS series" Can anyone please explain to me what does this terms mean?? Greetings Dr.Velasco |

1) M serial refers loosely to the year of production. The current year watches have a V serial number, ie "V123456'' inscribed at the 6 o'clock position on the rehaut or inner dial and also between the bracelet lugs.
V-serial watches would also have "ROLEXROLEXROLEX'' inscribed all around the rehaut. M series watches are likely to have been made in late 2007 and 2008 and I think all would have the same inscriptions. 2) NIB is a classic Black Sabbath rock song from the 1970s, but in these parts, it stands for "new in box''. 3) Rolex recently introduced a new ceramic bezel for its GMT Master 2 first, and later for the Deepsea Seadweller. It's supposed to be harder and more scratch resistant than the previous bezels. The new Steel/Gold Submariners launched this year will also have ceramic bezels. 4) I'm not sure about "SS series'' though I'm guessing this refers to "stainless steel''. Hope this helps! |
