Icon7 New 16610 LV !! First Rolex, a beauty !

Hello !

Here is my first rolex: a fresh 16610LV, one of the last !

It's BEAUTIFUL.... love it ! Fresh color, from clear green to dark green, maxi dial... Apparently AR on cyclop, and perhaps blue hairspring? (V series)

( now i'm waiting for my graduation to wear it.. 4 months of hard work to come, to have it sized by an AD and effectively worn ! )

Welcome to the LV club! Great choice. The one thing I wish my M serial had is the AR under the cyclops. Sooo much easier to read.

Congrats!! Welcome to the club.

I have a V series and would like to compare the "AR" on the cyclops to previous series.

I have a V series but I haven't noticed if it has AR on the cyclops. Can't wait to find out when I get home!
