Rolex "Kermit" Submariner 40mm Stainless Steel Watch W/Box and Card (Ref. 16610LV) - This handsome timepiece was crafted by the artisans at the world renowned luxury watch maker Rolex. This instantly recognizable Submariner is the "Kermit" variation which was first introduced in 2003 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Submariner, and is a must have for any serious watch collector. This timepiece features: 40mm solid stainless steel Oyster case; unidirectional rotatable green aluminum bezel, engraved 60-minute graduations and luminescent capsule on the zero marker; black "Maxi" dial (which was introduced for the very first time in this model) with highly legible display including luminous hands and dot hour markers, minute markers around the outer rim, and date display at the 3 o'clock position; calibre 3135 automatic movement with power reserve of approximately 50 hours; screw-down crown with Triplock triple waterproofness system; stainless steel Oyster bracelet; scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with cyclops lens over date; waterproof up to 300 meters. This is an extremely rare model, as Rolex made a very limited quantity that were typically offered to their most elite clientele. These limited models can trade for 25-40% or more over retail in the second hand market, as they are incredibly hard to find. Reference #: 16610LV, Serial #: M29XXXX. A serial number lookup suggests that this watch was produced in 2007 or 2008.
