And the cherry on top is the true anniversary one
Y Serial
What is rare about the G 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'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.
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?
it may be the case that the green inserts are only available at the rsc.
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!

that pair look fantastic together
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.
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.

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.
