Kermit flat 4 questions?

I’m considering picking one up. Any idea what years these were produced compared to the regular Kermit? Any questions I should be asking the dealer about? Thanks

A flat-4 is a "regular Kermit"

When the LV came out back in 2003, the first few runs were part of that era of bezel insert. It is indicative of a time period, not some special accessory that only the LV got.

The first year or so would be flat 4 insert and oval O in Rolex. If original these are the cream of Kermit Subs.

And, if I might add to the comments from Tools, you will find the flat 4 16610LV variation from the years 2003-2004.

As collectors key in on subtle variations of their favorite collector model, the Submariner
16610LV didn't let them down.

The following post provides information and other links that discuss the 16610LV variations.
