It strongly appears to me to be the same dial and bezel used on the Submariner 116619 I reviewed earlier this year. The dial and bezel can shade shift considerably depending upon light conditions.

I tried my darndest to get a good photo of the 116619 and my 16613 together to illustrate the differences in their blue dials. This was the best I got, but doesn't really tell the story. The 116619 doesn't have the iridescent quality of the 16613 dial, and can look pastelish in certain light:

Interesting.....the DSSD dial is flat black, TT SUB and WG blue sub appear to be flat, non-glossy texture.
....but this black TT SUB seems to have glossy dial ?
