Rolex paperwork

Hi all,

I am looking for a sub anniverary 16610LV.

I have seen on with B&P, but on the guarantee it only says 16610 not 16610LV.

On others I have looked at, the paperwork has 16610LV as I assumed would the norm for the model.

Is this usual for Rolex to do this? Should I steer clear of this?

Also, if anyone can point me in the direction of one in UK, I'd appreciate it

Thanks in advance

Chris

The M serial I owned had 16610V on the warranty card.

Thanks Mailman.
I just spoke to Craig at Rolex and he confirmed that all anniversary models should have 16610LV on guarantee card/paperwork to distinguish it from the standard 16610

This watch does have LV designation on the warranty card as well as the green hang tag.

A 16610 LV is just a 16610 there are no markings on case only ref 16610 between lugs. In the UK and most parts of the world on the green identification tag a paper sticker states 16610LV, USA watches are different .

If I'm not mistaken, the other difference besides the green bezel is the maxi dial. If the watch has the green bezel and a maxi dial it should be kosher.
