Need some help with reasearch on my 16610

[txrob779]

Hey everyone,
I am not a noob to fourms just this on. I have searched but haven't found what I am looking for. I bought a brand new Z series 16610 style R16610A30B9325. Can you decipher when it was made from these numbers and what do they mean. My serial # starts with a Z7*****.

Thanks

Hello Rob

Well being a Z series dates the watch between May 2006-August 2007.

The new serial prefix is now M.

The bracelet also has date codes. Look at the inside of the clasp for the engravings.

OP - denotes 2006, and number after signifies the month. Therefore OP8 is August 2006.
EO - denotes 2007

This may give you a closer production date as bracelets are attached after watch is assembled, whereas cases are made in batches and can sit around for a while.

As for the number R16610A30B9325.

R - Rolex watch
16610 - Model: Submariner with Date
A - Dial
30 - Dial Colour: Black
B - Bracelet
9325 - Oyster, Flip-Lock, Expansion Link

The 1603 is in fact a DJ, Chronomter with Engine-turned Bezel.

Movement used would be 1575.
