no problme, they are all great

but if you would find a flat four for a good price that would be a big bonus

There still are some guys that don't know there is a difference but when people know the difference, be prepared to pay 2000 usd more

Congrats on the watch. Have been wearing mine with a big smile since I got it yesterday. The green is a cool look.

wow, 10K for a flat four

But I'm still very happy with my 2006 LV

Mickey® · 15 September 2011, 01:05 PM

I just bought this new at an AD last month for $5100.00.

You mean I have to sell it and buy another?! More valuable one!!!???

Naw I'll keep my svelte four!

Can you get me one for that price?

Christiaan · 6 December 2010, 03:57 AM

Purchased in July 2004. Serial is F099XXX. Still have it and love it!

Gottog · 8 December 2010, 02:23 PM

So a flat four "Z" serial 16610LV is most likely a swap? See below.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Rolex-Oyster-Per...5#ht_500wt_922

It's really odd because the seller has 100% positive feedback. I guess he unwittingly aquired the frankenwatch and is selling it not knowing there is a problem with the watch (?).

I hope this isn't a really RARE varient and by me posting the link, i just lost out on a great find.

I would stay away from this one. Something doesn't add up. Might be a swap, might be something else.. If you look at the feedback you see that the seller has not sold any watches before. The watch knowledge or Rolex knowledge of the seller might be insufficient.

The watch has a circular "o" in Rolex, which would indicate a mark 5 or later with a pointed four, as far as I know.

I don't know if I am allowed to post links to other forums here, so I'm taking a chance here (Didn't see any restrictions in the rules..?). Here is an excellent guide to 16610LV:

Not a mark 1 for sure. Bezel may have been replaced.

Kiddodoc · 15 December 2010, 11:07 PM

Hack,
The four on the inside of the number at the top is flat, not just the top of the four. Some are pointed on the inside of the four and the earlier modes have it flat on the inside. Does that make sense?

Johny · 16 December 2010, 01:02 AM

ebay uk has 6 lvs for sale at the moment.

Yes it does.. Thanks

Chuckaz · 16 December 2010, 07:40 AM

Seems a little crazy to me, if something happens and you have to send it to the RSC they are probably gunna put on a newer "4" bezel.

Personally I think the LV with the rolex rehaut engraving to me is more collectable, correct me if I am wrong but didnt they only make that for like 2 years or so? vs the older ones the made for like 4 or so.

Since you asked to be corrected if wrong--you are hereby corrected. The one LV selling for a big premium is the Y series and early F-both from 2003 with distinct markings. That is it--that is what the market says--and the market has the final say.

So if someone sends in their 'flat four' for a service and is replaced with a 'pointed four' lololol and I still have my 2 LV's with rehaut I win.

Chris B · 16 December 2010, 08:53 AM

Here's my son's from 2006, its a closed 5, right ?

He's really knocked the hell out of this watch & its now with RSC for service, be interesting to see what the insert replacement will be
