Question on dial size of 16610LV (50th) and 116610

I am wondering if the maxi dial of the 16610LV (50th anniversary) is the same size to the 116610LV Hulk or the 116610LN Sub date?

Think the ceramic wears bigger due to the square case.

Both dials are 40mm, but I mean the size of the indices (12 triangle and the hour marker round dots).

Interesting point on the lume colour being more indigo (116610 ceramic) than green (16610)

That's an awesome mod
Stealthy, stylish, unique and distinctive

I'll leave the crown guards unchopped though.

I always thought both maxi dials were the same or very very similar.

Hello,
The 16610 you have pictured has not crown guards. Why?

Bringing this one back from the grave.

By this logic I could in theory get an A serial 16610 (lug holes) and put a 116610 dial and hands on it to have the ideal (for me) sub correct?

Saw the example above but wanted confirmation before I start throwing money at a project.
