Notes: The Submariner 16610 LV, or “Lunette Verde” was issued in 2004 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Rolex Submariner, arguably the greatest diver watch ever created, and certainly the most famous. While initially thought to be a limited edition model, the LV Submariner has remained in production since its introduction. There are only cosmetic differences between the LV Submariner, and the regular black bezel counterpart – the bezel color, markers, and hands are the only difference. The LV Submariner uses the Rolex “Maxi Dial” large size hands and markers, first introduced on the Yacht-Master. I purchased my LV Submariner in the Summer of 2005 and sold it a short time thereafter. While it was a fantastic watch to wear casually, I never thought the green bezel looked good with a suit, which I wear daily.
