16610LN owners, do you ever yearn for the maxi dial?
I've been looking at the 16610LVs modded with black bezels, and they look amazing! However, it's a very expensive project, and I don't know how I would feel about wearing a non-factory original Rolex. Thoughts?

No issues putting a black bezel on the LV, as long as you don’t get rid of the green bezel. I did it for a while but really just prefer the green.

I have a new, extra bezel and insert for my 16610LV and I wear the LV as a black bezel most of the time. Love it in black. That maxi dial! Easy to pop off and change. No hassle. I recommend it.

Prices have gone crazy on almost all Rolex sport models. Glad I picked up my LV and Pepsi GMT in 2013. Only regret is cant get the new pieces I want without big costs or giving up something in my collection. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The maxi dial is great on the 16610LV and is partly why is so special.
16610LN looks perfect without maxi dial. So no bezel swaps for me. |

Not for me either, I wouldn't consider changing the insert to black on the LV but love the maxi dial old & new .

I fitted a black bezel to my lv. It looked great but I only lasted a day before I put the green one back on. I will try the black one again sometime in the future.
