Icon20 Value and difference between LV and T

I wonder if anyone can help, I have two watches available from secure sources, one is unworn 16610LV 2010 V serial number with papers, other is unworn 16610T (green bezel) M 50th Anniversary series with no papers (not on lost/stolen register).
My three questions are, what is difference between LV and T, what is price difference for papers v no papers on these two watches (assuming both are clean), and lastly which is best buy? Many thanks

To me they seem like the same watch. Buy the best you can afford.

Hello.

I may be misunderstanding your post...but you seem to have two Green Bezel Sub LVs, correct?

Since they are both unworn, I would personally prefer the watch with the complete package. Missing papers can sometimes mean the difference of several hundred dollars.

It just means a non lug hole case all the anniversary LV subs are just standard 16610s.The only difference is the maxi dial slightly broader hands and a green bezel insert.As for the papers some are willing to pay a premium price, but if the warranty papers/card have expired over two years old thats all they just bits of paper or card.Now when you get the watch serviced you will get Rolex service papers with a current two year warranty.

All Sub LV's are 16610T case stamps (as are all LN's made during the same time too).....

Therefore, both watches you have described are identical except for the serial numbers (M and V).

The best buy will be the watch in the best condition for the price.. Since both of these watches are likely produced within months of each other, the price variant should not be very much. If it is, one is either over-priced, or the other is a good deal.... Choose the one you want at the price you want to pay...
