Sorry the LV Sub has been discontinued. They now have the 116610LV Green bezel and green dial which is actually green gold....

Either way you chose whether new or old, it's a great watch.

I think it's a great looking watch. And much less common than a standard black Sub if you're looking for something more unique! I wish the would come out w/ a SS blue Sub myself!

They were making the anniversary Sub LV for seven years and stopped. I've noticed the price of that Sub is going up lately. A great watch.

I actually chose the older version because the green dial was a bit too much for me. I find it looks a bit unique but I think it works just fine for me.

No its not solid gold at all, its just PVD coated gold a few microns thick over a plain aluminium dial.

Totally different set up the ceramic ones float on ball bearings that are counter sunk into the case.So it will not fit the bezel and ceramic insert would cost around £500 pound plus.
