Does the Sub with a green dial and green bezel have its own model number. I presume it would end in LV to designate the bezel colour but what about the dial, is that just a variation on the LV. Sometimes I have seen people refer to the 16610 LV as the anniversary but also the later 116610 LV as the anniversary or the anniversary hulk, as far as I know the Hulk is nothing to do with the anniversary. Think I'm confusing myself now.. Can someone explain please.
Thanks

My warranty card shows the Hulk model number to be 116610V

The anniversary model number is 16610LV.

Presumably the anniversary would technically only be made for 1 year to commemorate the anniversary of a previous model, but they were made for several years weren't they?

Rolex never referred to them as "Anniversary Models" except for some minimal marketing Memos the first year... It's a WIS and sales/marketing thing, like Fat Lady, Pepsi, and so on... Nothing official.

Same for the new one... Probably only called Hulk on a couple of Forums like this one.. A Dealer may look at you like you were crazy if you asked for a Hulk watch...

Ah that explains why they were made for more than one year then

I really can't stand the nickname it received. Hulk. Just sounds like a derelict old ship being battered by the sea. Makes me cringe every time I hear it. Not elegant at all. I like most others though, Pepsi, coke, Sophia Loren, etc etc.

As mentioned, as long as the dial is green it's the 116610LV ceramic ver. If it's the non-ceramic/aluminum insert (black dial) it would be the 16610LV.
