It might be common knowledge...but what's up with the gold crown?

I think I love it!

I have quite literally never wanted a watch as badly as I want that. It's perfect in every way including the olive strap. Brilliant!

If I had an 16610 LV I'd want the option to change to black as well.

I'm noticing some different bezel inserts in these photos....
Which ones are Rolex and which ones are "aftermarket"?

Thanks!

I bought the black insert when I bought my LV.

I have yet to change it once.

I 100% agree and was a big proponent of this...but sometimes you just want to see that black bezel on your wrist...

I have come close to pulling the trigger on a 16610 but I am spoiled (ruined) by the Maxi dial of the 16610LV with that perfect case. At least for now I am not buying a 116610...so I am stuck with few options.

Don't worry Mickey. I just mailed yours to you and it is a 100% authentic new bezel insert from Rolex. It's going to look purdy!
