The color of money! at least american money that is.

I didn't like it at first and it slowly grew on me. Then I pulled the trigger and it's been great.

Can the black bezel of a typical Sub be fitted onto the LV? Black bezel and maxi dial ... mmm.

Jimbits76 · 1 October 2008, 06:38 AM

I'm with TR and Mike...

How can you not love this...

Mine will never be sold...by me anyway!

What I did...before I went out and buy the 16610LV I just bought the insert.
For awhile I had placed it right into my regular 16610...after a couple of weeks..I went back wearing black...
LV...Only good for vertical collections..that's all.

Sure can.

Jim, that is an interesting observation you make about the LV used value. I much prefer the black to the green and would not consider getting one. Cheers, Bill P.

thanks, out of all of my watches, the LV has been getting the most wrist-time. I find it goes great with blue, white, green, black, and gray shirts.

Totally agree, like Jocke said "Call it Sub LN".

astcell · 1 October 2008, 11:21 AM

So when the green bezel is black, how does it differ from a regular sub?

The Sub LV has a "Maxi Dial", like the GMT IIC. That means the dial markers and hands are larger than on the standard Sub and standard GMT.

I purchased an LV in December '03. It's an "F" serial numbered piece. I've been told that the first year of issue of the LV is more valuable than subsequent years/serials. Comments?

I've also been told a green composite rotor was used in the "F". Is this another apocryphal story about the ever-mysterious Rolex Co.?

I don't think I'll ever part with the LV, although I don't wear it very often.

Great to find this site. Everyone's very friendly and well-informed.

Like this,

cody p · 15 October 2008, 07:50 AM

i think they look great, and i also think there are less of them out there than the normal sub-date. not a stealth-watch though, that green bezel is an eyeball beacon.

mpkRolex · 15 October 2008, 09:00 AM

Not a fan of green bezel..probably majority are like me

SS Oyster · 15 October 2008, 11:47 AM

I've seen tons of Rolex's in my world travels, but have yet to see an LV in the wild. Love mine!

mrkool · 15 October 2008, 12:34 PM

It will be the only maxi dial Submariner model ever made in the smaller case. Once people realize that I do not believe the prices will be lower. I will keep mine anyway because I like it. It isn't the only Submariner I have and certainly not the only diving watch, but it is a keeper.

Back here price back to retail, no longer a premium.
The AD told me it's over production.

What's the new Submariner new case about ?

Please tell to a newbie .. me .. thanks ..

Trurolexer · 17 October 2008, 09:49 PM

I love my LV more than 16610. Really!!!

But maybe someday, I don't know when, I will trade it with other watch. Yeah, sad but true.
