16610 vs 16610lv

Hi Guys,
Not sure if this was asked previously, but how do you guys distinguish the difference (on sight) between a normal 16610 with changed bezel insert (into the green) ?
I read before that in the beginning people were swapping out the bezel to sell a normal black one for the LV. Some of them got burned when they did it to the "lug hole" versions. But what if it's done to the clean case? How do you spot it?

Again, if this has been answered a 1000 times before, I apologize for my lack of research.

Have a great weekend y'all!
Zoran

Thanks, I got up out of my "lazy" chair and Googled it.
It is pretty obvious now!

This quote sums me up for today...

Maxi dial and hands. Otherwise, they are the same.

No worries.

Often time TRF is better/faster than Google.
