Can anyone tell me what retail was on a 16618lb circa 1995/97?

Thanks

Does anyone own both a 16618lb and a 116618lb who could provide some comparison pictures and your opinion on their comparison?

Search the forum for "vs threads" there are several that helped me. I ultimately went with a 16618 but black dial. Zero regrets.

You can't go wrong with the 5-diget version, though I prefer the 11 and 12 series.

Is it the additional bulk of the 6 digits or the ceramic, or just everything?

Solid link bracelet, superior clasp, more masculine case, A.R. under cyclops, larger lume plots for better legibility, ceramic bezel insert.

I can see the appeal of all those points. I have the 116613lb and love it

I have a couple 5 digits and love the fact the bezel is more prominent than the case. I’m guessing in full gold these would be sick.

I really dig these when they eventually go purple

Oh well......one day I’ll make a decision.

Thanks

The 5 digit is absolutely amazing (I would go for the latest version with the engraved rehaut).

However, I would be very interested in seeing the new 12 series.

Kind of everything, it feels like a more all around solid watch.

They don't all do the purple thing. The 5 digit gold Sub bracelets all have a solid centerlink bracelet btw. It's the TT that doesn't.

This is so true. I recently made a post saying I’m not feeling my 16613 anymore. The bracelet is so rattly. But I do have also the 16618 black dial. And it’s a very heavy sturdy watch nothing like the tt.
