Hi Guys, can anyone please advise me when Rolex started to use 904L Steel for their Watch Cases?

Cheers Andrew

The 904L SS was first introduced with the ref 168000 sub, latter part of the 1980s but then mainly the case.There are plenty of reports on the 904L steel in forum below links are just a few.
