I would like to make a correction of my above statement due to new information provided by Jocke.
The alledged 9 month period of manufacture of the Ref. 168000 (deriving from
this article) is more like
6 months.

The next Submariner ref 16610 was released a few months into 1989 so the ref 168000 was
only at the market around 6 months.
