The best version of the 16610LV?
It's black.



Maxi dial and hand. Normal lugs.

Love It

One of my LVs has a black bezel insert on it, but I don't have your photography skills. Thank you so much for sharing.

Looks great! Normal lugs makes it very proportional imo. Nice photos!!

Looks great! What it really needs is a Flat 4 insert though

Well in the same time frame as the launch of the LV all the Subs, and SD, black and green had flat 4 fonts.And one of the main reasons today IMHO the high cost of the green inserts, are down to those wanting to switch from green to black and visa versa.Plus now any damage to green inserts that need to be replaced its back to Rolex only, as no independent can change them and charge almost ceramic prices $300.

Thank you very much for sharing the photos. I totally agree, very much better in proportion especially for someone with smaller wrists. I very much like the 5 digit reference as the 6 digit was too big for my wrists. Looks great normal lugs.

Hi op.

Great pics.

I tried a black insert on mine but only lasted a day before putting the green one back on.

Love it. The classic case is just so beautiful. That watch, paired with a glidelock, is just unbeatable.

Great pics!
