Just to put a bow on this thread .... Finally got the 168000 in hand, and the engraving is not nearly as odd looking as in the seller's photo I posted earlier. I think it was just the lighting. It's definitely a correct engraving for this reference with the so-called "loose zero." Plenty of other examples out there just like this.

And the watch itself is the cleanest '80s Rolex I've ever handled, except in the '80s, of course, which is when I started wearing these.
