A transitional Submariner Date that lasted roughly nine months between the 16800 and the 16610, which is why collectors call it the Triple Zero after its trailing digits. It is where Rolex moved the Submariner from 316L steel to 904L, an alloy most of the industry avoids because it is harder to machine.
- The change from 316L to 904L steel happens at this reference.

How do I check a Rolex 168000 with Watch Safe?
Look up the watch's serial number in the Watch Safe registry to see whether a record exists or a theft flag is attached. A registry search identifies records for a specific serial; it does not authenticate the watch. Authentication is performed in person by an independent expert authenticator, and Watch Safe records and publishes the result.
