LV (lunette verde) is assigned to the 50th anniversary Submariner. It's the one with the green bezel. You can get a black insert for it, I believe through an AD, then switch them out to get a different look. As for price on a pre-owned, it would depend on condition, but maybe $4500 USD or so.

Pre-owned in the USA $4000.00 to $4500.00.

I think it's 'Lunette Verte' as 'verte' is French for 'Green'...while 'Verde' is Spanish for the same thing.
Perhaps I'm wrong, but it seems to me that French is more likely.

Correct, it's verte - they don't speak Spanish in Switzerland

I think you are probably correct.

Given that I grew up in New Mexico 'verde' was my first reaction too...

I have no excuses. I took French for about 6 years when I was younger!

thank you all for the responses. so was the lv only available during certain years and if so what were the years? also are there different color lumes available for the sub? Id like a green lume so which models should I be looking at for that?

JBat · 16 December 2009, 01:12 PM

I think it's still being produced, but someone posted here that it's not in the new catalog. I've seen them at local AD's. I've never seen a Rolex with different lume colors. Anything you get should have the green lume.

Id thought Id seen some with a blue lume but maybe it was just the lighting of the picture playing tricks on me

Damage Inc. · 16 December 2009, 01:29 PM

The new Deep Sea has blue lume but I think that's it.
Kermit should have the 'standard' green lume.

Good luck...I like it too!
