This is the perfect Sub in my opinion. Non maxi case but maxi dial & hands, AR cyclop. Just add black bezel (for rotation) & 97200 and it’ll be the ultimate sub . Enjoy!!

HUGE congrats mate!

I've also got a random serial Kermit that I bought fully-stickered in 2011 and still have today. I believe there are many fewer of the random serials than anything in the 16610LV series so you've got a very serious collectors piece!

Please tell me you're going to wear it!!

Thanks a lot! And congrats to yours too! Enjoy it!

No, i won`t wear it and i won`t remove the stickers ;-) I collect the Kermits - so its my 4th (all different). As you check chrono24 you will find from 270 16610 LV`s about 16 flat 4, but only 5 random serials - and only one of themes is from 2011 - so yes, for sure the randoms are the rarest within the 16610 LV serie.

That box is wrong for a random 16610LV. As a matter of fact, I thought the last ones were V or G. Didn’t know any of them went out with random serials.

I had a V serial LV and a random LVC, so I put a black bezel on my LV.

I need to pull pictures off my old laptop so I can post them on here again.

Congrats and awesome watch!! Safe queening it or wearing it? Worth more $ putting it in a safe but worth more life wise wearing it!!

Vintage people love patina. That is what mine will be when I die.

Congrats!!! Personally, I think I like the Kermit better than the Hulk. That pop of green on the bezel is just the right amount to make that watch stand out.
