Is there a Green Ceramic Sub with a Black Face?

So, as the title states, Is there a Green Ceramic Sub with a Black Face? If so what is the model number, I'm confused TIA

No.

Only a SubC with a green bezel / green dial and a Submariner (pre-Ceramic) with a green bezel / black dial (16610LV)

Well that's a bummer. I love the new look and features of the ceramic but I don't care for the green face...

If you want the ceramic bezel I say give the green dial a chance. It truly is stunning. Love mine more everyday.

I know what you mean Scott....I am not a fan of the green dial either....stick with 16610LV.

YES THERE IS!! First you buy a black sub c, then you buy a green sub c, then you switch the bezels....one of the members here has done it already and it looks good. Better to buy a 16610LV IMHO.

If you haven't seen the green dial personally, you will probably be very surprised at how it looks and how different it looks in different lighting and from different angles.

It is truly a magnificent piece.

something i like very much about the LVc's dial is how it can go from green to black depending on the lighting/angle.

Worth bearing in mind that the 'Green' face often appears black in many lighting conditions.
