Color Difference
I also noticed the color difference on 16710, The Pepsi and Coke insert have darker/richer red, almost like maroon and metallic (Look nice), while the other have lighter shade of red.

Hey guys!
Sooo now I'm lost as to what year/version I have...I never really paid attention until now. Can anyone help me with this? This photo is photoshopped so maybe the colors won't be able to help ( I don't know if there's anything else that could thought ) This one I just took I've had this for a few years so I can safely rule out that it's not a newer model. |

I have both green anniversary editions, both Z series, so it's not exactly a specific year that has same bezels, it's a mix of both.. I clearly prefer the dark green, it looks richer and better

I saw this same watch at ben bridge and it has a dark green. It could be the newer model since it has rolexrolex engraved on the inner bezel.

I don't see it
I have a Z series that I bought in September 2007 (sorry it took me some time to buy it but I was saving up for it ) and I can't spot the difference. If you ask me mine has a dark green bezel but I havent really seen the lighter shades or darker shades for that matter. does anyone have a picture of all different shades?

I see it:)
today I have met some guy from italy and he was wearing a 16610 LV and it was a lighter shade, almost like lime as someone previously suggested. I must say I didnt like it. I think the darker shade is much more royalty looking.

I have owned two M Series LV's since March 2009. One was a darker green and appeared to be more of an avacado green shade in comparison to the other M Series, which was a rich emerald shade of green. I not sure why the difference. I noticed another in a AD's window and it was the darker, more avacado shade of green.

The moral to the story, if you like the shade of green and there is nothing wrong with your bezel insert, make sure to tell RSC not to change it!! |

green vs black bezel
I own the green sub 16610 LV also. I am also looking to buy a black replacement bezel. It is difficult to do where I live (Luxemborg and Belgium) because delaers refuse. So where can I find one that is an original Rolex part and that will fit. Some say the size of the green bezel is somewhat different. Thanks.

I don't have ANY sub, but want it to be my next purchase, and think the Maxi-Dial on the LV is perfect!
Problem is, the green isn't for me personally, but as others have noted, would hate to buy the LV, then replace the insert rendering it "non-original." So what do I do? Thinking the new SS subs with the larger case will be "too big" and "to square" yet the current SS subs have a dial with hour markers I deem as a tad "too small." (Though granted, the venerable sub is an all time classic - ) The LV has everything just right. . . . except for those of us who prefer a black bezel. What to do, what to do? |

I like that darker shade of green, but I have the lighter shade.
Kind of annoying to have to keep the colour to keep the watch original. Anyway, maybe one day I'll get up the motivation to go to the black insert

That's a nice review, I purchased an LV Sub back when they were hard to find. It didn't get much wrist time so I let it go, did alright on the sale but really miss that watch.

Anybody have any opinions as to the marketability of the green 50th Anniversary model, and its value as a collector's item ?

Valentine- As to why Rolex chose green for their anniversary color, I was under the impression it was chosen to honor their relationship with Wimbledon and have heard the color referred to as "Wimbeldon Green".

I really like that dark green but...
I would trade my YM for a dark BLUE sub like that in a heart beat! If they made one!!! And I don't like gold, so don't say the 2tone! The WG blue sub is too light of a blue. Dark blue dial with normal black sub dial... would be my ultimate dream watch! Pt,WG,SS... whatever! (and it would be black and blue so would go with anything! LOL!!!) |
