When did 16610LV stopped production? Or better question, what is the latest series for the 50th anniversary sub? Thank you!

sleddog · 27 March 2011, 04:49 PM

V series 2010....
I don't think they ever made it into the Random serials before being discontinued.

bigfei · 27 March 2011, 05:04 PM

Thanks!

I've seen a random serial for sale. I was a bit surprised as I thought they ended with the V series as well, but clearly a few randoms are out there.

hennabav · 27 March 2011, 05:06 PM

Yes, there are a few random serial LV's out there....but VERY rare!!!

alexxelor · 27 March 2011, 06:42 PM

random serial , very rare .

jolkan · 27 March 2011, 08:03 PM

I had the oppurtinity to buy a 16610 LV random serial brand new with 12% discount. Still bugs me! =(

travisb · 27 March 2011, 08:20 PM

Probably tough to find. V shouldn't be a problem.

Bought my random serial 16610LV in October 2010, wasn't looking for one but just couldn't turn it down!

dddrees · 27 March 2011, 09:35 PM

I purchased mine in Dec, it was a V.

nauticajoe · 27 March 2011, 10:54 PM

Sky-Dweller · 27 March 2011, 10:57 PM

JYmn · 28 March 2011, 01:20 AM

Random serial??? What's that? Without the V or M or 'X'?? Just 6 numerical digits??

MrCowboy99 · 28 March 2011, 01:22 AM

When did 16610LV stopped production? To soon, but Rolex didnt ask me.

david91686 · 28 March 2011, 01:24 AM

I bought my V series in late Dec. '10 with a bracelet stamp date of March 2010, RS3. Would be interested to know what bracelet dates the random serials have?

Is that correct that the randoms have the AR coating on? Not picked mine up yet so I can't check. Just exactly how would you tell the difference if it's AR coated or not?

Michael M. · 28 March 2011, 03:22 AM

Cool info guys!

PhilK · 28 March 2011, 04:19 AM

No AR coating. I was luckly to get a random serial number.

kzm40 · 28 March 2011, 06:19 AM

Seen one in a dealers.. but he wants more than for the newer models, he has a standard 16610 to.. (both at a premium)

Yes, random serial has AR coating on it.

how u can tell the difference? If you put the watch under the sun, there's a hint of purple-ish 'glare' from from the cyclop. Hope it makes sense.

bigfei · 28 March 2011, 04:00 PM

Thank you guys!
