In 2004 Rolex introduced the 50th Anniversary Edition Submariner (Model Number: 16610 LV) . LV stands for "Lunette Verde." This is one of my favorite Rolex watches. It is different than the standard Rolex Submariner in three ways:
- It has a metallic green bezel
- It has Maxi Marker Indices
- It has a fatter or wider minute hand
The LV sub has many nicknames which include the Kermit, the 7Up Sub and the Starbucks Sub. We will be spending a lot of time studying this beauty. I absolutely LOVE this photo of the 7UP Sub. I think it flawlessly captures the essence of the watch:
