gold sub blue face with flat blue, not sunburst dial

Did this exist in the 116618 or whatever reference #?
YG sub, all PM, but with the flat blue dial, not the sunburst. (?)
looking for one.

Yes. But I believe for a fairly limited run. I prefer it, but most do not.

Yes, it exists and I believe we have a member on the forum who has one. Have you seen this piece in the flesh though? Can't see how you can't like the sunburst dial on this piece.

Yes it did exist. I actually like it over the sunburst because the blue is brighter and matches the bezel better. I’ve seen a few in my area at some
of the preowned dealers

Totally agree about the dial matching the bezel, it looks much better to me.
I’ve owned both dials in the TT version and the sunburst dial clashes badly with the bezel and looks all wrong in my opinion, flat blue dial every time
I don’t know the year it changed but it will be the early year models with the flat blue dial

I have owned both and prefer the sunburst to the flat dial. If you can see them in person it is better.

I think they made it 2009-2012 if I recall correctly. I haven’t seen it in person but I do love the sunburst!
