116610LV Date wheel Q
I have been looking at many pictures of this watch I am about to get and I am little unsure of something here.
What color is the date on the SubC Green 116610 LV? Is it green or is it black??? Does anyone know? |

The only green date wheel, I believe, is on the YG GMT II ceramic, with the black dial.
So, it's possible the date wheel was swapped, it's been done to the SS GMT II, so I think it could be done on the sub. as well.

It's black. But I think Rolex should make it green! Or even like a roulette date wheel "green,black,green,black" that's be pretty cool!

Definitely black but the watch itself does appear to change colors in different lighting!

Black, but the GMT2c datewheel from the green YG 116718 is a sharp mod!
