1601 and 16013 were made along side of each other? April 7 2017 at 2:34 AM		Robbe1675 (Login Robbe1675) VRF Member from IP address 86.90.136.46


I came across a 16013 with a 5,208 mln number, as well as a 1601 with a 5,244 number. So the newer 16013 has an older number than the 1601. How is that possible? Any idea's? Were they made next to each other for a period of time? Or did Rolex apply the numbers a bit at random?

Anybody? I know it is not as interesting as showing a dial up for scrutinizing, but - Robbe1675 on Apr 10, 2017, 3:15 AM

I do not know, but I would assume... - ramone on Apr 10, 2017, 8:40 AM

Not sure, as 1601 case making would have stopped - Robbe1675 on Apr 10, 2017, 12:27 PM

check the fonts of the engravings, because - Karl on Apr 11, 2017, 7:13 AM

good point, but - Robbe1675 on Apr 12, 2017, 2:48 AM

I'd assume this is typical Rolex model change overlap - alligoat on Apr 12, 2017, 7:26 AM

seen those overlaps in the past - christian on Apr 13, 2017, 11:46 PM
