I’ve been wanting to see a Rolex 116610LV in person, but unfortunately have been unable to find one to handle. I’m strongly considering buying one but the thing that worries me is that I’m a darker skin tone (Indian) and I’m not sure if the green will look good on me. I don’t want to spend the money and end up hating it. I’m not really sure what I’m looking for, but if anyone with a darker complexion offer their input or provide me with a few pics, it’d be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have a milk white skin and if exposed to the sun it becomes red

I love my everose SkyD, even if it does not match with my skin tone according style guru's. Who gives a s...

Don't overthink it, just buy the LV if you like it

Green on dark skin will look wonderful. Like a leaf on a tree. Go for it.

Don’t give it a second thought. The sunburst green dial definitely favors darker skin tones. It will look great.

drmizzou · 8 April 2018, 10:13 PM

You’re fortunate in that dark skin tones favor all tones. Go for it!

Speedbird-1 · 8 April 2018, 10:16 PM

You've never worn a green jacket, shirt or sweater?
The only colour prejudice tolerated here, is
mostly directed at the Cerachrom Pepsi bezel! Haha

Go for it!

Send pix.

Walk next to a Christmas tree and see how it matches lol

But pale skin looks best...st paddy day...

Seriously try something green

Byrdguy · 8 April 2018, 10:46 PM

My guess is that it would look great.

Sporkmaker · 8 April 2018, 11:03 PM

That watch looks awesome on anyone.

The green sub looks great against any skin tone. Go for it!

If I have learned one thing since I have joined the forum, it is that if you wait long enough you can get tons of opinions on both sides of a question. I have learned that if I want a particular watch, then get it and enjoy it. Wear it for you and no one else.

Dusko.Popov · 8 April 2018, 11:53 PM

I’m black and I own one. Looks great to me.

AK797 · 9 April 2018, 12:01 AM

I'm not one who cares about skin colour, I have RG skin and happily wear RG watches.

jason.chua · 9 April 2018, 12:02 AM

Just paint it with a similar Color on your wrist to have a feel.

Go for it! It’s a stunner.

‘Like a leaf on a tree’. Awesome! You should write Hallmark cards.

I think you'll be fine.

Rashid.bk · 9 April 2018, 05:41 AM

It's just a watch. Don't overthink it.

Urosfan · 9 April 2018, 05:45 AM

It will be fine go for it

Navarino · 9 April 2018, 05:53 AM

I actually think the green looks great on darker skin tones. I'm not Indian but have darker than average skin. Here's a pic below of me trying one on as a data point.

jb335 · 9 April 2018, 05:57 AM

In general, I would never buy a watch without first trying it on in person. Preferably multiple times.

I used to love the vintage 36 DJs until I tried a few on, then disliked them on me. Just didn’t work for me. Conversely, I never cared much for Daytona’s until I saw one on my wrist and realized it’s the perfect size for me.

It looks even better on your skin!

My Indian friend rocks a Hulk everyday and it looks better on him than it does on me.

Rolex.c6 · 9 April 2018, 07:43 AM

Trest asure, the green changes from light- to darkgreen with the light so it will fit anybody for sure!

Silent. · 9 April 2018, 02:56 PM

Thank you all for the reassurance!! I’m going back and forth a bit between the LN and LV, but knowing the LV will look fine on me gives me more info towards the decision. Kinda makes it a bit harder now haha

Looks great, go for it
