TT sub clasp

Does anyone know when Rolex started making the clasps on TT subs TT?

I recently saw a T serial with a stainless clasp and a P serial with a TT clasp so it seems like it was in the U or A series somewhere between 1995 and 2000 . . . does anyone know the specifics?

I believe it was the late model F serials, in late 2004 early 2005. I purchased a 16613 Blue new in February 2005. It was the same time they began using SEL as well. I remember the AD making a sales pitch about it.

It was late A. I have one of the first one's. Rolex raised the price of the 16613 from $5800 to $5900 at that time when they added the SEL and the gold thru clasp. I bought mine from a large Rolex AD and it was the first one they had come in.

Thanks Art 1, that make sense, so some A series and all P series would have it then.

Thanks, you're better at searching than me as I wasn't able to find that thread until now.
