Nah, they're out and mine is one. Of that I am certain.

Finally something to look at. From the pictures that have even lighting I much much much prefer the original MKI! The MKII has a sickly green look to it! Enjoy!

Oh? You have expectations from me? Don’t believe we know each other.

Yes, that green looks very sickly! Much much much prefer the MKI! Everyone loved it and this is a big fail from Rolex. Yikes!

I'm sure Rolex are reading your words and having sleepless nights about their 'big fail'.
Yikes!

I'm sure they're not, but if those pictures represent the new bezel it is a massive fail! Sickly, sickly green! Why Rolex, why?

Do you have one of these also? Just curious why you are interjecting yourself in the discourse with another member. Maybe you two are mates? It's good to stick up for a mate, kudos.

I sense there’s a bias in your comments in the way you are putting the MKI on a pedestal. What’s the deal? And I’m genuinely asking

So your "proof" is that the 116610LV and 126610LV have different color bezels? lol

Doesn't prove anything to me.

Why? 116610lv and 126610lv do have the same bezel color.

Seems like you're trolling me but you do you. Calling me a joker seems against the forum rules and I have certainly done nothing wrong.

Enjoy your watch! Just because I don't like it is no reason to get all flustered.

Honestly you're opinion means nothing to me. You're manner of interacting is just rude and uncalled for. Just a passive aggressive troll in my opinion who's made zero contribution to the thread and who will be ignored from now on.

Oh yes? Doesn't appear that way but good news nonetheless. Enjoy your watch!

Great comparison photos. The MkII is definitely closer to the shades of green on the 16610LV.

The darker the green the better. We strive for all black, we get confused with all the color options, but the black is what we crave.

Both bezel inserts look good, but I prefer the earlier green (with more blue) to the newer green (with more yellow)

I think I prefer the newer one, reminds me more of the original 5 digit model.
