Introduced in 2003 to mark the 50th anniversary of the Submariner, the 16610LV brought a bold new look to Rolex’s most iconic dive watch by pairing the classic black dial with a green aluminum bezel insert. Produced until 2010, it has since become one of the defining transitional Rolex sports watches of the modern era. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-source-line=\"10-10\"\u003eWhat makes the 16610LV especially appealing is its position as a true bridge reference. It retains the elegant proportions of the classic five-digit Submariner case while introducing the larger Maxi dial furniture later associated with more modern Rolex sports watches. The result is a watch that feels both vintage in character and contemporary in presence, combining the slimmer profile of earlier Submariners with improved visual impact and legibility. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-source-line=\"12-12\"\u003eThis example is especially desirable as an early \u003cstrong\u003eF-serial\u003c\/strong\u003e watch, placing it squarely in the sought-after initial production period from late 2003 to early 2004. Collectors pay particularly close attention to Kermits from this range, as they are associated with the earliest case and bezel traits of the anniversary model. Chief among these is the coveted \u003cstrong\u003eFlat 4\u003c\/strong\u003e bezel insert, identifiable by the broad, flat-topped inner aperture of the “4” in the bezel’s “40” marker, a detail fitted to the earliest 16610LV examples and one that can command a significant premium. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-source-line=\"14-14\"\u003eJust as importantly, early Kermits of this type belong to the \u003cstrong\u003enon-engraved rehaut\u003c\/strong\u003e generation, predating the later inner rehaut engraved with repeated ROLEX text. Together, the early F-serial, the potential Flat 4 bezel, and the non-engraved rehaut make this one of the most compelling collector profiles within the 16610LV family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-source-line=\"16-16\"\u003ePowered by the Rolex calibre 3135, one of the manufacture’s most respected automatic movements, the watch pairs proven reliability with an enduring tool-watch identity. Offered as a full set from 2004, this Submariner 16610LV represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire one of the most significant anniversary Rolex sports watches, with the added appeal of early-production collector detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-source-line=\"18-18\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-source-line=\"19-21\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-source-line=\"19-19\"\u003eWatch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-source-line=\"20-21\"\u003eFull set from 2004\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-source-line=\"22-22\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-source-line=\"23-43\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-source-line=\"23-23\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rolex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-source-line=\"24-24\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Submariner Date\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-source-line=\"25-25\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16610LV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-source-line=\"26-26\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNickname:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kermit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-source-line=\"27-27\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSerial:\u003c\/strong\u003e F-serial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-source-line=\"28-28\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduction period:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late 2003 to early 2004\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-source-line=\"29-29\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-source-line=\"30-30\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-source-line=\"31-31\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 13 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-source-line=\"32-32\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLug-to-lug:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 47.6 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-source-line=\"33-33\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBezel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Green anodized aluminum bezel insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-source-line=\"34-34\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollector detail:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early-production Flat 4 range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-source-line=\"35-35\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black Maxi dial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-source-line=\"36-36\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHands:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maxi hands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-source-line=\"37-37\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rolex calibre 3135, automatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-source-line=\"38-38\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower reserve:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 48–50 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-source-line=\"39-39\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rolex Oyster bracelet, reference 93250\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-source-line=\"40-40\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet details:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hollow center links, stamped clasp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-source-line=\"41-41\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRehaut:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early non-engraved rehaut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-source-line=\"42-43\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full set from 2004\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-source-line=\"38-38\"\u003eWe specialize in vintage and contemporary timepieces, offering carefully curated watches with detailed descriptions and high-resolution photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HORAMUNDI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67805246226724,"sku":null,"price":19000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0872\/8222\/1348\/files\/rolex-submariner-16610lv-kermit-f-serial-main.j.heic?v=1792482783","url":"https:\/\/horamundi.com\/products\/rolex-submariner-date-ref-16610lv-kermit-f-serial-full-set-2004","provider":"HORAMUNDI","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
