Since the original design was released in the late-'80s the humble Submariner 'date' 16610 has gone through a few subtle, but important revisions. So I have a few questions. Can anyone advise me:
-When did the case go from lug holes to no lug holes?
-When was the bracelet upgraded from hollow mid links to solid?
-When was a rehaut engraving added?
-Were there any other significant revisions to the case and dial over its 20 years in production?
Am I right in assuming TC's 16610 is closest in accuracy to the Y-series model from 2003ish (once the rehaut engraving has been removed)? TIA
