Which was the last year/series with lug holes on the SD 16600. Is it possible to get a SD with lug holes and lume instead of tritium?

Now that I think of it, I dont believe the Yachtmaster ever - never - came with a holed casing; but I culd be wrong. Anyone, Ferris, Ferris Bueller, (know if Yachty's came with holed cases?)

No matter how you cut it having lug holes means more strength for the band and especially a NATO I have had the no hole springbars get stripped out on tension with the NATO and this is much harder to do with the beefed up springbars on a case with holes

If I remember correctly, a Y-serial is the last year for the drilled lug 16600.......and yes it does have Superluminova. The SL started around 1999.
