anything special with the dials or done in a small production? any input would be great.

Here are the following models i saw for that year:

1016 Explorer
16550 Explorer II
5513 Submariner
16750 GMT
6263 Daytona
Well its almost impossible to get a exact birth year watch from 1985 on, as all internet-charts serials are when the case was stamped between X&Y years. And this don't always mean the exact year when it was made, so if any paperwork would indicate year when it was sold that's your best bet. Out of your watch list myself would choose the 5513 sub a real classic, and any 6263 Daytona will be crazy telephone numbers money to buy good luck in your search..
