I think I’ll do a bit of research later to find out! - I’ve put a gen AR crystal in my 16613 for now just because I love the look.
My feeling is if any 16613 do have AR, it might be the M series around 2008 time, with rehaut engravings on it’s case. But I don’t know with any certainty. Even that might not have AR. Will investigate :)

I did the same. I just love the black hole effect on that champagne open 6&9 DW.

I cannot remember myself which series they introduced the AR on. I would guess that very few gens of that period are still 100% period correct. I have seen people put the cheapest ebay junk bezel inserts on 16613s and cheap plated aftermarket crowns never mind the cheapie xtals that are available.

Thanks guys, from what I've seen it does look like 2008 indeed but would like to be sure :)
