Rolex anchor green badges

Got in an older complete sub set today and the anchor is the regular silver, but the feet/meters on each side are little green plastic badges on each side. 4000/1220. Anybody seen these before? thks

It s simply vintage anchors, but something is strange for me, the 16600 (4000ft anchor) isn t a vintage rolex.
Please show some pictures of the anchor.

I'll get some pics up this afternoon. The anchor was from a complete 16800 sub package that I purchased from the original owner. watch and all. Watch was bought in europe in 1883. I know the anchor would be for a 16660 maybe and was put in the sub package by mistake. The set I bought was from an individual complete. nothing added to it or taken out. thks

Its correct and was used in the mid 80's. Mid 1980's that is.
