It combined the classic proportions of the five-digit Submariner with a vibrant green aluminum bezel, a first for the model. This reference also introduced the \"Maxi\" dial to the Submariner line, featuring larger hands and hour markers for increased legibility. It is a transitional model that bridges the gap between vintage charm and modern presence.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Key Transitional Reference\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis 2008 M-serial is a prime example of the later production Kermit. It features the 16610T case, noted for its solid lugs without pin holes, a subtle but significant update in the model's evolution. Crucially, this watch comes from the specific period when Rolex engraved the serial number on both the inner bezel rehaut and between the lugs at 6 o'clock, a feature that anchors it to a distinct and short-lived manufacturing window before the practice was phased out.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Clean And Honest Sport Watch\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe case is in very good condition, as are the green aluminum bezel insert and the black Maxi dial.

The aluminum bezel offers a softer, more classic feel than the later ceramic versions, and the traditional 40mm case proportions are timeless. It represents a moment when Rolex took a calculated risk that paid off, creating a modern classic that remains one of the most sought-after references in the secondary market.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReference:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16610LV\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Submariner Date 'Kermit'\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2008\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMovement:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automatic\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40mm\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBezel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rotating Green Aluminum\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oyster\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fits 6.75-7.25in\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black Maxi\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless Steel\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1539\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rolex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55544747131171,"sku":"11539","price":15500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/6099\/1523\/files\/DSCF4013_9c110a0d-b998-4849-83d6-74b00ee3c04e.jpg?v=1788284701","url":"https:\/\/dannysvintagewatches.com\/products\/2008-rolex-submariner-kermit-16610lv-stainless-steel-green-bezel","provider":"Danny's Vintage Watches","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
