Any Different between LN vs LV beside Bezel Insert Color ?

We all know that the Kermit 16610 LV have many different from 16610 LN (Bezel, Dial...)

Anything different between 126610 LN and 126610 LV Starbuck beside only bezel Color and Price? So we can have the 126610 LV/LN and change the Bezel Insert in the future and have the other watch?

No difference only the silly childlike nicknames.

you cannot change LN to LV from any RSC, you might be able to find aftermarket bazel or OEM LV bazel will cost you a fortune in gray market

It's been called the Blackface but the name hasn't seem to have stuck for some reason.

None - miss the hulk because of this. That dial really made it different.

No other difference, though I will say it is the world of difference to me having had both. Rolex I don’t believe will make the switch. Plus it would never truly be the LV by DNA, warranty card, etc.

The LN/LV literally mean black bezel/green bezel. If they were different otherwise they'd have a different ref number.

The LV is a gimmick. A nice one, but that's all.

You can say that about every watch with a different color. Some like red, some like green, some like blue, some like all black.

I dunno, offering a piece of jewelry in a different color isn’t necessarily a “gimmick,” and more than Hermes offering a different color of the Birkin is. Especially since they have been offering a green Submariner for almost 20 years.

It's funny how history repeats itself. Not a lot liked the 5 digit LV initially and now its very sought after. Likewise, not a lot wanted to touch the Hulk for many years while it sat on display at the AD's. It only gained popularity recently - especially after its discontinuation and its price skyrocketing. And now we have the 126 series LV that also seems to have its own naysayers. You can argue all you want that its different this time around, but I can bet you that in just a few short years from now; the same lot will find a reason to praise the same watch they called un-special a few years earlier

Warranty card is different and the serial would be denoted as LN. If Rolex services it they’ll force a LN bezel swap back to OEM.

People call it the Plainsy because it’s so “common”.

The 126 LV did not have naysayers. It was widely accepted early on

You won't find this one sitting around at an AD.
