ROLEX kermet

Hello.
I recently received a 16610 T. the dial markers are large. the serial # is a "D".
The serial number on the watch is the same as on the Rolex certificate. However the case is stamped "T" after the number, but on the paperwork it is stamped "V". The watch also has on non flat four green bezel insert.
my question is. Is this watch correct or is it a franken watch.

thanks in advance
thx David

All 16610 cases that do not have through lug holes are stamped with a T so that the correct spring bars can be matched. It is not part of the model number.

No 16610LV on the planet has a case stamped with a V.

Your description sounds correct for a Dxxxxx serial 16610LV

Perhaps the OP is referring to the marking on the case versus the "LV" which follows the model number on the paperwork. Box and papers changed 2005 from the holgraphic paper to a card. "D" serial is supposed to be production year 2005 so should have a card.

Here is a Case marking and paperwork example and card example and you will see the case reads 16610 T but the paper or card reads 16610 LV. The second part of your question, there were four different dials, and four different bezels believed to have been on the "D" serial watch.
