No dial difference on the 126610lv (ceramic Kermit)
So the new Green sub seems to have no dial feature differentiating it from the all black sub. Wouldn't this make it possible to swap out the bezel and you would have an identical watch to an original green sub? Does anyone know of any markings on the new green sub dial that separates it from an all black version?

Yes it would work. Lazy way for Rolex to release 3 models.
All 3 the LN/LV/WG LB looks like they using the exact same dial? |

Perhaps the ROLEX name in green, similar to the Air King would have looked great!

In 2019 I was able to procure both a black sub date and a hulk at MSRP. My AD, who is also a plaque service center, will swap the bezels (no charge) any time I wish. Takes less than 15 minutes. Since I like the fat lugs, and really unless you really compare side by side, hard to tell the small lugs from the large lugs...it looks like I have a Cermit before it was released. :) I know it is a bit extreme, but by having 2 subs, I get 4 cool watch combinations. 3 of which Rolex actually sells. After all, watches are just an accessory. Now they just need to release a black bezel with a green dial. |

They might not change the dial colours again. Didn't they just justify the switch to all black dials by stating that it's for maximum legibility under water? They could always backtrack on that down the road I suppose.
