Sub 16610LV Question

Gents:

Quick question about the Sub 16610LV. Which serial numbes do NOT have the "RolexRolexRolexRolex" in the rehault? I'm a huge fan of the watch, but not a huge fan of the rehault. Thanks for the info!

I believe the engraving started with the M serial. I'm sure the pros will chime in soon.

It was from 2004 Serial F/D on some models the Rolex Rolex Rolex branding started on the Rehaut ring. And like yourself Rolex just once on the dial is good enough for me.

D 2005 (Apr)

Y came before F and the first Sub LV was introduced with a Y serial number. Unfortunately these sell at a premium but you can find some out there.

Not sure when exactly this started on the Sub LV, but I am sure someone will be along soon.

I could take or leave the engraved rehaut...You can not see it when it's on the wrist.

Don't let all these close up macro photos make you think otherwise....

It's just not visible unless your looking for it.
