questions about 16610LV

[cykent]

Hello everyone,

I've been reading this forum on and off for a couple of years. i bought my first and only rolex about 3 yrs ago, it's the 15200 Date with blue dail. i love the simplistic styling and i've been wearing it to work everyday since.

Recently, I've been thinking about replacing it with another model, one that goes well with formal and casual wear. ideally i would like to keep my 15200 but life is not perfect. i've been looking at a few models such as sub, GMT and explorer. in the end i prefer the look of the sub. i have tried on one of my relatives' black sub and its beautiful. i do like the black sub but i prefer the maxi dial of the 16610LV. i am not too fond of the new sub 116610 although i may try it on when i visit the local AD sometime in october.

so i have some questions about the LV, do they all have SEL and no lug holes? and does it matter which serial letter i go for? is it the newer the better? finally if i swap the green bezel to black and take the watch to rolex for servicing, will they reject it?

thanks in advance and sorry for the long post..
