nice. have you also got a random?
Not yet,the G serial is an October 2010. This is newest LV I have.
At the moment
What is rare about the G serial?
I believe they where manufactured in low numbers like the Random serial.

Thought I'd seen that pic before with the BMW badge! Do you also have the username of Highlander or did you buy his watch?
Good spotting yes I bought it from him and only took a couple of pics when it arrived
The watch is in the safe
I only found as I spent ages trawling through forums trying to find the same dial as mine.
Mine was bought from Puffy.
I've finally found an F with the same dial and flat 4 (which according to previous info is a mark 5 dial, only found on D serials!
I remember Puffy buying this at the time from the US if I'm rightI only found as I spent ages trawling through forums trying to find the same dial as mine.

It was a proper minter
Yes it certainly is, looks like the stickers were taken off and only worn a handful of times.
I'm sure there's quite a few pictures on here and other forums of the watch
As a side note, whatever happened to puffy?
I think he came to his senses and got out of watches
I haven't seen or heard anything on any forum.
he moved to Australia.I think he came to his senses and got out of watches

He certainly did. I've not heard from him for a while either
Notice the difference in bezel colour between the earlier serial LV's (light green) and and later serials (dark green)?
This colour difference continues with the non flat four inserts, light to dark, early to later serials (below).
This F serial with a thin four bezel insert similar has colour to the early flat four inserts. Due to serial of this watch I believe its insert was switched out. When it was sent for service at Rolex London they asked if I wanted a newer insert fitted due to a scratch on the old one but declined worried I would get a newer darker version, as I like the older light colour.
-Also, off hand as I remember the cost of a service green bezel insert was day light robbery compared to the regular black insert (for a touch of green?). The cost of a new one also included a swap of bezels with no return of the old one.
Reason for service (bad light).
Cheers,
M

Would an Indy Rolex servicing agent be able to replace a bezel and return the original to you?
Sadly all Rolex parts are on an exchange basis these days. (unless the indy had some in stock).
Went through this recently. Decided against swapping the insert for that reason.
it may be the case that the green inserts are only available at the rsc.
No swaps only
Nice watch Big D!

No reason to swap it. Wonder what the current LV insert price is
Thanks! Needless to say I wish I got one in 2003🙄😂
Currently the replacement bezel, exchange only was quoted at £421.62 and you had to replace the assembly...
hi big d. where did you get the quote from?
thanks

Rolex UK Kings Hill Service Centre when it was in for the service.
thanks D.
Ouch! Last full service I paid for was circa £250 for a 1665 SD.
Those were the days
I was very lucky, about a year after the launch of the LV I went into David Duggan looking for an LV. He had one so I bought it, unworn, with box and papers.
It was a Y series Mark1 dial, flat 4, just happened to be lucky.
Will never be sold as its my son's favourite watch. May not be a Patek, but I just looking after it for him.
Here it is next to the Hulk
Daddy how much do you want.
Gorgeous double!

Makes me quite nostalgic for the Mark1 seeing them together like that.....
Lovely inheritance for your son.
that pair look fantastic together

I've also bought an LV for my son with the papers in his name.
Hope they both appreciate it when the time comes!
So "The Kermit" seems to be getting a fair bit of collectability kudos from the guys on here.
Do you think they will retain their premium which they have at the moment?
Will it increase?
And why do you think, for a modern watch which was produced for 7 years (I think though not sure)in fairly substantial numbers,that it is proving so popular.
Its obviously a nice looking watch but is it any nicer than say a seadweller from the same period?
I didn't buy it for an investment, I bought it because I like it.
Would have thought it would hold its value, but not fussed.
Can't recall any Rolex going down in value over the last 15 years, especially their sports watches.
the lv has some interesting features.
Im not saying to buy the watch as an investment.
Just asking why people thought this Rolex in particular was gaining collectability.
And I suppose I might be a tad disappointed if values fell substantially from when I bought it(not price when new!)
One thing is for sure they're only going one way ⬆️
Please stop posting pictures of your LV's as it is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore them.
I've tried to buy a few of this forum and the biggest hurdle seems to be insured shipping to Denmark. Ohh well, I'll find one eventually.

you might need to book a cheap flight.
yes...one way. into your safe...lol
Watch arrived today.
Immaculate condition-very pleased
Upto the AD shortly and ask them to size the bracelet
It was a z serial number-fairly early z-non engraved rehaut model.
Almost wish it had a few marks as I would feel less guilty putting any on it.
sorry about the supersized image-posted from phone and I'm a techno fool.

Congratulations - looks incredible :) Nice to hear that it's going to be worn, not just sit in a safety deposit box.

Yup, wanted to see what all the fuss was.
Its kind of weird, old case, old bezel, newer maxi dial, green bezel, black dial, old clasp. Not modern, not vintage.
Will see how I get on and if it stays...
This forum seems to find me asking more questions about what I want than helping me confirm what to buy haha. Really like these, love the earlier green colour.
Dangerous place this, looking at all these lovely watches can seriously damage your wealth.
