Is it just the pictures I see or do some of the 16610lv bezels seem darker than the others, I like the darker more.
Thanks guys.

Not just you...the earlier ones were a lime green and then they darkened. Just goes to show differences in taste...the lime green ones make me weak in the knees (in a good way).

I liked the darker bezels more too, so I bought a beautiful V serial. But then I learned that the older ones with lime bezels are more collectible, so now I'm confused as hell ;-)

The color varies, just as the fonts do..

Agree the early Y and F serials with the lime green bezel look great. The later ones have more of an 'olive' color

Agree Rob and have done so for the past 40 years

I wear a lime green 'Z' 2007 LV and only bought it ahead of 2 'M's because I preferred the lighter shade of green....
I love the variations (apart from mag!)

I also agree but in its relatively short life the LV may have set a record for dial and font variations and we probably haven't found them all yet.

I can't be bothered checking my LV's font and dial but I wouldn't part with it.

This thread needs some more pix Peter

Mine is on the lighter side it's an M serial.

There do seem to be some slight color differences in the 16610V bezel...
