looking for some FLAT FOUR 16610 LV green submariners
If you have one of the first generation (flat four) please share some pictures with us.
The watch is nice, not nicer than a later edition with non flat four but since it is so rare I want to see a lot of them :-) I searched between a lot of thread about the 16610LV but I was amazed that I barely found these flat four subs Those who have one, did you buy it when it came out (end 2003- early 2004) or did you buy it recently because you were hunting for this first generation |

I've had a Y series from sept 2003 and an M series from 2008. Sold both of them with no regret. Great watch but never got along with the green.

The Y series was rare and IHMO will become collectible along with the early F's as I have seen others consider these the "true" anniversary watch. Just pulled the trigger on an early F yesterday. It is from December 2003.
Need to figure out how to post pics. Will post when I do so. (Have some holiday shopping to get done today) BTW, first time I have heard them referred to as Flat Four's. I have also heard them described as "Oval O's" due to the shape of the "O" in the word Rolex on the dial.Wonder which name will stick? Cheers Sanj |

As long as it is an early F--For example-Serial 02xxxx you are correct. Regardless- all of the Mark 1's have flat 4's on bezel and the larger insert which came only on the Y/early F and that differentiates it from the rest.

The one I placed a down payment on yesterday is a V series, didn't have any knowledge of the Flat four when doing so or the different color of bezel early vs late.
However I still look forward to picking it up. I look forward to having the LV, and even more importantly adding a Sub to my collection. |

but if you would find a flat four for a good price that would be a big bonus There still are some guys that don't know there is a difference but when people know the difference, be prepared to pay 2000 usd more |
