A question to the collective, have Rolex made a Submariner with differing dial/bezel combos? e.g. black dial , green bezel? just curious, Cheers JohnB4
Yes, the LV.
I think the LV is the only Sub option with differing bezel and dials colours. Everything else is Black/Black or Blue/Blue.
SGR
But you'll need to love the maxi dial and green there is always the Hulk...
Old case, maxi dial/minute hand, and green bezel - what is it not to like about 16610LV aka Kermit :)
For the LV, can one request a bezel change using original stock from Rolex or this is not possible? Will it void the warranty, etc.?
Rolex won't entertain this, they won't change anything on a watch that is not a like-for-like swap for the model. Your only chance is either picking up the part you want and getting someone to fit it for you or possibly getting a friendly Rolex authorised service engineer to get one (although this also may not be possible depending on how much a tight grip Rolex have on the distribution of their parts).
What you do is picking up a bezel on the second hand market. It would be bad idea to trade in the green bezel anyway for the resale value, and a black bezel is easy to source. Apparently they are easy to swap yourself, but I have never tried. Also, there is no warranty (apart from service warranty) to void, as the LV stopped selling a few years back.

The LV is prefect as it is. I still seem to enjoy the look of the 16610lv more than the newer versions. Since the arrival of the ceramic submariners the older LV seems to have taken on a cooler vintage look. I even like the old strap and clasp !!
Yep gotta love the LV. I think this will become a future classic (if not already)
And a good investment too :-)
Here's a couple of white-dialed ones, neither of which I unfortunately own. Photos may be subject to copyright laws. Which I've probably just infringed.....[url=http://postimg.org/image/k792clxqv/]
Very much doubt it.
As with most things, depends when you bought it!
That vintage white dial Sub is a stunner and is seriously rare (and expensive) - if it is an original white dial Sub.Here's a couple of white-dialed ones, neither of which I unfortunately own.

The white dial is fantastic, why oh why don't they do it now
What about the red Colamariner? Looks better than Bamford Sh..
