The Rolex Submariner "Kermit" was first released in 2003 as a 50th anniversary piece to celebrate the model line. It was the first Submariner to feature a green bezel, maxi dial/hands and is now highly coveted for its historical significance. Rolex have produced very few anniversary watch models over the years and the 16610LV stands out as our favorite for its unique transitional features.

This Z84X serial example, circa 2007 has remained in wonderful unpolished condition and comes its boxes, papers and two booklets. It is one of the last examples to feature no engraved rehaut, adding to its vintage aesthetic. It also comes with a Mk3 bezel insert or "B3 lime," which is highly sought after for its rarity and unique color, in comparison to the other production runs. This particular insert is really a sight to behold and experience in different light environments and the variety green shades this model can offer is one of the reasons we love it so much. If you've been hunting for a true collector grade Submariner, don't overlook this "Kermit" as you'll be hard pressed to find another of this quality anytime soon. 

Dial: Flawless. Bezel insert: Fantastic and rare preservation to see for a Mk3 or "B3" variant. There is a small scuff buy the triangle and a hairline scuff by the 5 marker visible in photography but it has not gone through the anodization and can only been seen at certain angles. Overall, it is not distracting. The fade is extremely even and attractive. Hands: Are matching. Case: Appears completely unpolished with factory finishing still visible. Light signs of use. Correct signed crown. Bracelet: Correct 93250 with 12 links. Appears unpolished and very tight. Light signs of use with no significant dents. Crystal: Clear. Accessories: Inner & outer boxes, papers and booklets. The movement is running well on our timegrapher and comes with our 1-year mechanical warranty.
