This is the 50th anniversary Rolex Submariner Ref 16610LV. Or Rolex Kermit for short. It’s not super well-known to the general public. At least not compared to the Rolex Hulk. Still, it’s a very cool watch with an interesting backstory behind it. It’s also one of the last examples of modern-day Rolex doing something a little quirky. A little unexpected. Which is why, among other reasons, we love the Ref 16610LV so much.
This example features the following;
B4 Bezel: Pointed 4, “Square 5”, with the narrow pointed 4, but the internal corners of the five in ‘50’ are perfectly square. Bezels are a dark racing green.
D1: ‘Oval O’ in Rolex. Widely spaced ‘Oyster Perpetual Date’ signature where the ‘R’ of Oyster sits between the legs of the ‘R’ in Rolex. Wide ‘Swiss Made’ with 5 shortened minute markers underneath its entire length.
C1: The first production LV’s featured the new ‘T’ case with solid lugs and the model number 16610T engraved between the lugs, with “T” standing for “Trou Borgne”, or “blind hole”. It is important to note that the model number engraved on the case does NOT have the suffix LV. The serial number is engraved between the lugs at six o’clock in the traditional Rolex style.
