To stay on topic, I wanted the Starbucks originally but I thought the bezel was a shade too light for my liking. I think I prefer this allegedly new shade more.

But it's even lighter now ?

You are absolutely right. There’s something wrong with us all as a collective group.

Thanks for the confirmation!

Did you discuss the VTNR too? As of now the green color on the gmt and on the LV are the same so guessing the VTNR color will change too going forward? Thinking it wouldn't make sense for Rolex to produce 2 shades of green ceramic in paralell?

Wow, a different shade of green, didn't see that one coming. Can't wait to see it IRL and be blown away by this new bezel. Exciting times we're living, hey?

Lol apparently it is! Sorry it looked darker in Adrian Barker’s YT video. Anyway, I bought a Hulk a few weeks ago. Used to hate the green dial but seeing it in the metal completely changed my mind. No regrets.

~7 year run on 16610LV

Hmmm...there is absolutely no proof to back up either claim. Unless I've missed something, which is always possible.

The green looks the exact same to me and the Daytona...well, I'll believe it when I see it from some a reliable source other than a YouTuber.

Thanks for that. Can you work on my tan?

Seriously though. It looks nice. But I like the darker one myself. For real not just saying that because I own it.

I don't live or die my my $10.6k watch

After all as rickk knows I also have a ... oh nevermind

If this is really true, thanks to god to receive my LV back in January. Darker is far better for me.

This is true. It was confirmed this morning by Rolex on a conference call.

“Bezel color is different. Back to the color of the aluminum bezel on the 50th anniversary color. It will have the same model number. Not the same green as the LHD.”

Don’t shoot the messenger-

I always like darker. The rootbeer brown wasn’t dark enough, the bluesy dial too light blue, the current 12LV was too light in the light, the new one is too lime green. I traded for black, can’t get darker than that! Plus there won’t be this crap of changing colors, styles, etc from year to year with the black sub. Iconic and not changing!

Great song … carry on

Something is incredibly fishy here.

Why does no one have pictures?

All these YouTube guys are useless…they dont report on real things like this, and instead just use their status to try to get perks.

They still have zero bitches though.

new shade was to come closer to the original Kermit.

The same guy that accidentally copy/pasted emojis on a date wheel and went with it.

They have that patent. It’s was actually used on the PM Skydweller. I guess it’s not worth the hassle to roll it out to other models.

Hi guys got mine last week and can’t see a big difference maybe in different lightning but I really don’t care ,I like it and that’s what matters if it’s the old one glad to have one of the latest , I’m sure it was not sitting in the AD’s safe and if it’s the new one also happy.

A few pics for comparison:

Another pic with different light ,this is my first 12 sub and only thing I can tell is that IMO it wears smaller than the 11 series , also they both look very similar in the dark but as a Sub lover you can never have too many Subs.

We should make it pet of pledge membership. Telehealth services where the professional speaks timepiece.

Picked mine up on Saturday. Don’t know which one it is, but what I do know, is that it is an absolute stunner!
