0808 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 hi all vintage experts, when did this transition take place? thanks!
AllergyDoc Posted February 18, 2009 Report Posted February 18, 2009 904 made it's debut with the reference 168000 circa 1987-88.
0808 Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) thank you! so does that (starting from 87-88) apply to all models or just the subs? Edited February 19, 2009 by 808

AllergyDoc Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 That was the first time 904L steel was used on any Rolex, or any watch I believe, Sub or not. (I'm not really a vintage expert. I looked it up for you on a Rolex forum.)
bertieng Posted February 19, 2009 Report Posted February 19, 2009 Read an article there is simply no differenc between 316 and 904 in terms of brightness/shinniness/hardness etc. Rather interesting enough 904 is proned to casue higher allergic reaction to the skin.
