Get a 16610 LV, you can always put a black bezel insert in it if you fancied a change.

I do think it has some investment potential but that may not be your reason to buy one.
You should enjoy the watch

If you like the green bezel, maxi-dial and larger hands (I don't like any of those features) then go for the LV. Otherwise consider a 16610, or perhaps an old-style SD. There's a good pic top of the page for the dial marker comparison.

I like the green, but also like the root beer! I'm assuming the root beer is much more rare because I see very few of them on here.

I had a beautiful 16800 and traded it in with many beer tokens against a tt blue sub 2005 model. I love the tt but miss the 16800. I like the features of the Lv .
