Would you buy a 16610T Green Bezel for $5K with no paper?
Been offered a 16610T (Z series) for $5K but no paper, excellent condition. Would you buy it? BTW, is 16610T the same as 16610LV?

So, a 16610T is the same as 16610LV except with no lug holes? How do I know it's not just a regular 16610 and the guy just stick in the green bezel?

Do you like it. Seems like a good price. Take it to an AD to get it checked out. Has it ever been serviced?

I don't think price is that good at all. I know someone who just bought a BNIB 16610 with ALL papers from a US AD for 5200 for a Z serial number

The lume pools on a 16610LV dial are larger in comparision to a regular 16610 they are known as Maxi dials. Browse this forum and you will find pictures of both side by side for comparison.

Remember, "buy the seller, not the watch". As it sounds to me like you are having doubts about the sellers integrity. If so, leave it alone. Either that or go with the seller to an AD and get the watch authenticated. They would be able to tell you if it was an LV as apposed to a regular sub.

There are no LV's with lug holes except for the Basel introduction dummy models.

This is why the price should be similar to what you could get a LN for..
