ROLEX SUB #16610 - D SERIES vs Z SERIES?

[fishrising]

What are the differences between a Sub #16610 - D SERIES and U, L, and Z SERIES? Other than # of years between them. And assuming like condition, is any worth $200 or more than any other?

"D"s were made from the summer of 2005 (or earlier) into late 2007..

"Z"s came out in late 2006 and are still being seen...

So it's possible that a D may be newer than some Z's..

Without the invoices in your hand, it is impossible to know..

So I would say that unless you see the proof, or the Z has the engraved rehaut showing it was a late Z, then no..........I would not pay a 200 dollar premium for a letter.

OK...

You changed your original lquestion...

L's are 20 years old....U's are at least 10..

Depending on condition, I might knock of 500 bucks per decade.. but as you start getting back into vintage, the price goes back up depending on the dial..
