Green Submariner "Ref.16610LV" manufactured from 2003 to 2010

It has a green bezel, which is the symbolic color of Rolex.
This is a model commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Submariner .
Compared to other 5-digit sports models, this model:
This model features a maxi dial with thick hands and large indexes.
The item we are introducing this time is a good example of the early "MK1" /F series.
First, let me briefly introduce the main features of the initial model.

[FLAT4/Fat4] Bezel

Please pay attention to the “4” in bezel memory 40.
The MK1 is a trapezoidal "4".

[BIG SWISS]

SWISS MADE marking at 6 o'clock on the dial
A notable feature is the wide gap between SWISS and MADE.
If you look closely, you will see that Big Swiss has five minute markers below SWISS MADE.

The main features of the MK1 are FLAT4 and BIG SWISS!
This combination is the Y number of the Ref.16610LV.
This is a detail that exists in F and some D.
Because there is a difference in appearance, it will be evaluated properly.
Personally, I feel that this is a model that still has room to grow.

The bezel is a beautiful lime green color.
This beautiful color is so attractive!!
The bezel insert with serifs has some minor scratches from use,
The condition is good.

Here is a comparison photo with a random number (right) of Ref. 16610LV.
If you are concerned about the color, please refer to this.
By the way, this final random number is also in excellent condition and is priced at the old price, so I highly recommend it.

The condition is fine with some scratches,
Overall it's in beautiful condition.

The middle case maintains an attractive, thick and sturdy shape.

Although it has a light exterior finish,
The edge lines are well-defined!!

There is almost no sagging of the bracelet!
The clasp code is stamped AD and matches the era.

The accessories are quite substantial.
Box, warranty card, international service warranty card, serial tag, chronometer tag,
Submariner booklet (03), Oyster booklet (03), Calendar (03-04),
Comes with a matching bezel cover!

The warranty is Hong Kong/Parallel Guarantee.
While many MK1 models come with official domestic guarantees, parallel guarantees are rare.
What's even more exciting is that it comes with a serial tag!!

The outer box also has a "16610LV" reflector seal.
If you look closely, the LV letters are green . I can't stand it.

The overhaul was completed by the manufacturer in April 2021!

Wrist shot!!
Kermit "MK1" still has a lot of potential!!

5-digit Green Submariner/Ref.16610LV Endangered Species Model "MK1"
This is a great piece for your collection as it is in good condition and comes with a wide range of accessories!
Before you know it, the number of these items in circulation has drastically decreased and the market price has risen, so
If you are looking for an early model, don't miss this!!
