Hello,
been thinking about an older all gold sub Ref 16618. I see some have lug holes and others dont. I would rather have no holes. Anyone know there year this changed?

Around the turn of the century.

Mine is a 2000 with lug holes..I think around 2002 it changed. In any event, go for it, your going to love it. A few pics for enablement purposes!

I have been looking at these as well. You won't find many around with black dials. Beware many are way over polished.

Not to change the subject too much but saw this YG Sub on a custom car tv show this morning. Looks awesome. Never seen one in the wild so this was close…

I have a black dial with no holes it’s an amazing watch one of the only 5 digit watches I’ve had.

No holes are few are far between as as someone said above be aware of condition there are some very awful examples out there.
