The 16610LV is the Kermit, a nickname so entrenched that major auction houses use it alongside the reference number. Rolex released it at BaselWorld 2003 for the 50th anniversary of the Submariner and ran it until 2010, when the ceramic-bezel 116610LV took over. The LV stands for Lunette Verte, French for green bezel. | The 16610LV is the Kermit, a nickname so entrenched that major auction houses use it alongside the reference number.
