Hi all i am a newbie here

i was just wondering with the rolex submariner 16610lv f serial number is it supposed to come in the new style box or the older style box as the 1 i am about to buy is coming in the older style box

i have always bought rolex's with the engraved inner bezels so they have always come in the new box but this 1 is coming up for a good price and i juist wanted to make sure it is coming in the right box

What is the first letter of the serial number you are buying?

foley · 17 November 2011, 05:45 PM

it is F serial number

robertgrom · 17 November 2011, 05:46 PM

Sorry, I didn't see the "f"

foley · 17 November 2011, 05:46 PM

and then the 1st part is F584

robertgrom · 17 November 2011, 05:48 PM

The F is one of the first LVs, I'm not sure about the box.

foley · 17 November 2011, 05:50 PM

are the earlier ones worth more as i have now bought 3 daytonas a steel and gold sub non ceramic and a 16610lv all with engraved inner bezels

this 1 i am picking up i am getting for 4900 dollars

robertgrom · 17 November 2011, 05:56 PM

If the condition is excellent, the price is fair.

foley · 17 November 2011, 06:02 PM

i normally buy them and sell them on as I live in Dubai so sometimes pick up a few deals the ss daytonad i got at around 8000 dollars and normally in the uk i can make about 1600 dollars on each watch

thanks

My late F LV came in the old style box.

My late series F came in the new style box. I think in the F serial we started to see a crossover from the old style boxto the new style. I did buy mine new in 2006 too which is probably why it came wth the new box.

early F will come in the old box... not sure when the transition took place to the new box tho
