hannes,

this is a 168000 ? if so, this is the 2nd one i've seen w/o the white gold surrounds. when would these have been made...as these came AFTER the transitional model, i didnt think u could get a dial like this.

Well, I'm not Hannes, but I will give it a try ...

Your question has been asked many times on various duscussion boards and has never been answered clearly ... but the "official" letter from Rolex Hannes posted says that it is possible for the 168000 to have either one of these dials ...
