Date of new sub release?
Hello all
I recently bought a new Sub TT (116613LN) and was curious when this model was released? I bought my watch new from an AD about 2 weeks ago and started to wonder what year it could be.. Please fill me in Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Is there any way I can find out what year my watch was made or does that even matter?

Subs including TT are very popular, so it us unlikely that it has been sitting in an AD long, if it was an obscure DJ reference and dial it might have been sleeping in the AD for some time. As others indicate short of sitting for 4 or 5 years unwound it should be fine.
By the way well done and enjoy.

Not sure why ppl are saying it doesn't matter, when a Random serial will command more money on resale than a M serial.
Look at ur serial prefix and you can go from there... And Congrats on ur new SubC! |

V Serial is circa 2009, 2010 G Serial is circa 2011, 2012 Random Serial numbers were after that. I'm sure there is a method to the madness in decoding random numbers, but I don't have the secret decoder ring. |

Careful Padi...you're liable to start a mad rush to acquire G Serial watches because they are rare and collectible! Haha.
