Thanks for that too Just saw his post. Quote:
Thanks for sharing the pics Just curious, why would you want to use the case of the 16610LV? Is it because of the more tapered looks of previous generation of Rolex Subs? Or you were just plain naughty? |

Naughty or not - please ask my wife
The modification was not done only for the blue lume, I have tried to create a contemporary James Bond Submariner - a watch which James Bond should wear today instead of the Omegas. For those interested in the project, it's all here: http://www.ajb007.co.uk/topic/42501/...es-bond-rolex/ |

Yes, it is considered rare...

Yes it is rare (in the world of the 16610LV). It was spotted only on the "Y" serial till the early "F" serial of this model together with the MK 1 dial, they are the more collectable ones of this model. And it sure commands a premium on the market due to its limited supply. |

The MK1 inserts will always command a higher priemium over the mk3's and mk1's and mk3's will always be worth more than mk2's 4's 5's 6's and 7's all with pointed 4's.. Less flat fours and much more pointed fours at the end of the day. |

As has been said if they are 'random' they are not 'serial'.

Got to laugh at all these LV rare dials or any other so called rare modern day Rolex.

As for the rest that are not considered mk1, they sell at the going rate as far as anniversary subs go but still hold their value better than any modern sub. It's an important model and in the years to come, I see the prices only going up. May take years, but I see the LV being like a red sub collectible one day. |

I still feel just like MK dials and inserts matter on anything vintage, i.e. 1680, 5508 etc.. font styles and first generation early examples will always be relevant in the collector world. Maybe Not by all, but by some that are purists at heart. It's definitely early to consider the LV vintage, early by 15 years at least, but currently, I am shocked to see Y and early F serials selling at the premiums that they are selling for. Seems like the trend has already been set on the early ones if we like it or not. |

anything discontinued will become vintage eventually. as for rarity, well, if people are prepared to pay a premium, then that will dictate things.
i am looking forward to my LV becoming vintage in a few decades when i myself also begin turning vintage lol duncs |

This time the modification was modest - by my standards I only took a 116710LN dial, got rid of the green GMT MASTER II wording and made it in white and put it into a 16710. No case modification, no added naughtiness |
