Question to Rolex 16520 Inverted 6

Hi,

Is this Rolex 16520 inverted 6 correct? It is serie A from 1999.

I thought most of the inverted 6 dials are found in earlier years (early 90s)?


Would appreciate any views?

It is way too late for an "inverted 6" tritium dial. An "A" serial should have a luminova dial and read SWISS MADE at the bottom not T SWISS MADE T which is tritium.

Here is a thread I put together a while back with some links to articles on the Zenith Daytonas and the dial variations.
