Rolex 16618 Bracelet question
Wondering when Rolex transitioned from hollow to solid links on the 16618 bracelet and also when from holes case to no holes case. Thank you in advance.

Same time as the steel line-up.
No-Holes case ---> F Serial (~2004). Prior to F serial they were Holes case. 16618 always had "SELs" - Simple reasoning - Gold is malleable - a hell of a lot more than steel. The heft of the head would destroy thinly stamped non-sels... "Rolex down!"... that would be shite! The "integrated" SEL's, however, which I think is what you're referring to, transitioned in about 2000... so yes, same as the steel pieces.
