The 168000, or triple zero, was a very short-lived model Rolex made for only approximately six to nine months in the late 1980's This transitional reference was created when Rolex upgraded the steel they used in the Submariner case from grade 306L to grade 904L while still using the last of their 3035 movements After only a few months Rolex began using their new 3135 movements in the Submariner, making the ubiquitous ref.
