Just out of curiosity...

Would it be possible to make a ceramic 50th submariner using a 116610LN and substituting a green bezel from the lv? Is it just me who thinks that would be a beautiful watch?

I'm afraid the green tint will be different. But could be a great combination.
Let us know when you do create one ;)

Perhaps a photoshopper can help you out

If you're talking about putting an aluminum bezel on a ceramic sub, no. Now if you're talking about green ceramic, sure. The hard part would be sourcing that.

A darker tint green ceramic bezel would look better for sure.

Beautiful. In my opinion, the ultimate poker watch. Just something about the colors...

Yes, definitely the way to go. I think it would look cool, but the green sunburst dial on the existing LV is so damn beautiful.

This has been done, someone had both subcs, and I don't think it works, prefer the original colours.

If it looks as good in real life as in that picture, I disagree!

Yes, and it's been done - check one of the modified Rolex threads. It's also been done with a 114060 and blue bezel from the WG Sub.
