16610LV Case markings

Hi members, I took the bracelet off my LV for the first time today to fit a Nato strap - I found that case is marked "16610 T" - I've had non LV 16610s before but its the first time I've seen the letter "T" after 16610 - Is this exclusively for 16610LVs or do later normal 16610s have "T" too?? ("T" = "Transitional"?

The T is also on "non LV" 16610 models, which for many years did come with lug holes.
In other words, the T is not specific to LVs.

Thanks for info - Yeah, I do agree that lug hole cases are nicer looking (IMO)

All watches without lug holes will have the T and the LV is just a standard 16610 case watch.
