Rolex Submariner with Pinholes

[The GMan]

Chaps my Sub is a pinhole model, what is the difference between this and the later models with out them? Is it less desirable?

I love mine and when in the airport in Dubai at Christmas noticed a pinhole model was for sale new. Was this just an old model that had not been sold?

Can't find much on the net about the differences and the years things changed.

Cheers for that.

I bought mine last year from watches.co.uk, and it's a 2003 model.
