The reference 16610LV, LV standing for Lunette Verte, meaning Green Bezel, differs from the conventional model in its bezel color and was quickly nicknamed 'Kermit' by Rolex collectors. After only 7 years, the 16610LV was eventually discontinued and replaced by the Hulk. Since then, the appeal and collectability of the neo-vintage Kermit has been continuously growing. This 2008 example still has a strong case and is accompanied by its Rolex guarantee card.
