Tudor Submariner ref. 7016 Serial Help

[cacti]

Hi all, I'm building a 7016 rep. The case manufacturer has asked what serial number I want engraved and I need a little help.

Please tell me if I'm right,

One side should say:
STAINLESS STEEL
7016/0

The other is the serial number which should start with 62 and be six digits.

Is this correct?

The 7016 was made from 1969 - 1975
So you will want variant of one of these...

1969	680,000
1970	740,000
1971	750,000
1972	770,000
1973	790,000
1974	810,000
1975	830,000

Forgot to add that one side will have Stainless Steel with the serial between the lugs and the other will have 7016/0

I'm seeing some that start at 62, is this not a 7016?

Looks like maybe 7016 started in 1968 with the 620000 serial: https://watchpassion.be/tudor-submariner-mn74/

Tudor used the serial numbers starting at 680 000 in 69 and in 75 830 000 so if you pick a serial number like 776 969 it will put your 7016 being made in 72.

Tudor did use the 620 000 serial numbers in 68 but from what I have read the 7016 wasn't released till 69. So maybe the first few 7016 were engraved with the 620 XXX but not released until 69.

I looked at the link you sent and it states on the listing circa 1968 with the 624 XXX serial. It looks like they checked the serial number and seen it started with 62 and assumed with good reason it was made in 68. I have checked a few sites they all state that the 7016 wasn't on the market till 69.
