Icon10 16610LV Mark V without LV papers

Hi, I am about to receive a 16610LV Mark V (M series) full set. Have a look at the picture.

The bezel, serial number, dial and everything else matches the Mark V version. The original place of sale was Italy, dealer 215. Only thing: the papers mention 16610-T ??

Is anyone aware of original LV documents that do no show 16610LV but 16610T instead?

Well thats what the 16610LV is just a 16610 with a maxi dial and green insert the T just stands for non lug hole case nothing more.And the so called papers are just one paper and now just a out-dated warranty and its a M serial Rolex have never made a series of any watch.In most of the world especially Europe the only mention of LV is on the bar code tag and not on the warranty.

From what I can remember, my M serial 16610 LV did not have LV in the actual model number. It was adopted on the forums to differentiate it from the black bezel.

Only with the ceramic LV did the LV get integrated into the model number.

My M serial number 16610LV has "LV" both on the warranty card and on the green hang tag.

My V-Serial has the 16610LV on the warranty card as well.
