	The 16610LV is the Kermit. That is what collectors call it, and the name has stuck firmly enough that "Kermit" appears in major auction house literature alongside the reference number. Rolex released it in 2003 to mark the 50th anniversary of the Submariner at BaselWorld, and it ran until 2010 when the ceramic-bezel 116610LV took over. The <code>LV</code> in the reference number stands for <code>Lunette Verte</code> — green bezel in French.		The 16610LV is the Kermit.
