Rolex 16610 Black Bezel and Flat 4

[RobP]

About this time last year I picked up a gently used never polished A series 2001 Sub 16610. I was looking for a an early luminova Sub with lug holes and this fit the bill.

More recently, I added a 16610LV. When I acquired this I though that I would end up switching to a black bezel as I like the look of the previous generation sub with a maxi dial and black bezel.

I have read a lot about the different bezels on the LV with the first gen flat 4 being the most desirable as it is considered the real 50th anniversary sub. I was not worried about this, and was probably going to end up swapping it for a black bezel so ended up picking up a 'non flat 4' LV.

So this got me thinking - is there potentially more collectibility to the late 90's early 2000 16610 with the lug holes and flat 4 bezel?

I have a 2004 16610 no hole lugs and SEL with a black bezel and has a flat 4 is this right
