You should have started your own thread rather than tack your question to the bottom of one a year old...

However, yes, a 16013 will have an acrylic crystal, as will all 160xx models. The Sapphire crystals started with the 162xx reference numbers..

No, you cannot say that it is a "1986" model. Rolex does not make any "model year" watches. The charts that date a Rolex are guesses made up from enthusiasts who have tracked sales information from other enthusiasts. You can say that your watch was probably made (or sold) between 1985 and early 1987..
