16610

Did they make a 16610 in blue? Or did it have another model#? I found a few online but have “custom” dials or bezels. Looking for one but don’t want custom.

16610 is steel and it came with a black bezel insert which is the standard 16610 or 16610LN. Then you have the 16610LV with the green bezel insert, maxi dial, and larger hands.
The 16613 (two tones) and 16618 (full gold) comes with blue bezel insert.

Only the minute hand is larger on the LV model when compared to the non LV Submariner with the black dial.

The 16610 came with black dial only the 16613 TT came with a blue dial.

The blue and gold 16613 bezel insert will fit the 16610.

The 16610LV also has the Maxi Dial with larger lume plots compared to the 16610LN.

It’s conceivable one could get a 16613LB (Two tone “bluesy”) and swap the two tone bracelet for a steel bracelet from a 16610, and swap the gold bezel ring and crown for a steel bezel ring and crown, and thus have a blue steel Submariner with Rolex parts — but such was never issued by Rolex.

No, if you see one that claims to be all Rolex parts, then its a frankenwatch.

I found out that when you see the word "custom" in the description of a watch it means non original
