Continuing with the blue dials

Continuing the theme of the new blue dials there is something I do not understand. All Sub. 116613 have the sunburst dial or there are some flat? And with respect to the dial 16613 all have flat or there are some with the sunburst? and what is the Smurf dial?. And if I decide for a 16613 what is the year and serial letter wich begins with inner bezel engraved?
Another thing...could be that in the sunburst models does not macht the bezel an the dial? In this case I would choose an 116613 with the flat dial. And if I can do this election you guys think that I can find a new one?
Thanks a lot friends and have a good week-end

The new TT has the sunburst, older ones have the flat blue also known as the smurf dial, tho the smurf watch is the WG sub with blue bezel too. I found the sunburst blue did not match the bezel well, but the dial looks great so I would still buy it ahead of the old flat blue dial, but go to the ADs and see for yourself.
