Kermit Sunday

Pulled him out of the box again after some years today - still love the bezel color so much. To me, this edition is better than the new Starbucks due to the green - some pics to show its beauty.

Not sure how many here have got one as they are not posted often. I received mine in January 2005 from the AD as the first in my town to get it, still some weeks too late for the fat four...

Enjoy your Sunday!

I had one but foolishly traded it away

It is my biggest ever regret in collecting watches. I recall diving with it in Tioman Island, on many occasions, when I was a younger man. I believe I posted my diving pictures here almost a decade ago, with this piece. I used to buff out the scratches wi... 

My favorite of the greens

I wasn't 100% sure at the time if I was making a mistake buying this over the regular black bezel 16610, but I'm so glad I went with it (They were the same price at the time). Like mentioned above, I've swam in the ocean with it, used and abused it, and s...  

I used and abused it as well for 10 years

Then it went to Rolex and I wear it only occasionally now

The same here!

It went to Rolex, came back looking new, and I've kept it that way. On another note, I was annoyed with the servicing - I asked for the lugs not to be polished, but they did it unfortunately. No more sharp edged lugs I'm sure it was the AD that didn't pas... 

I agree with preferring this to the new version.

Originals are usually preferable. The fact that it was the 50th anniversary model to celebrate the incredibly important Submariner says a lot in my opinion. I was fortunate enough to get one of the first into the UK and like you don’t wear it anyway near ...  

I was also fortunate to get the press pack from the AD

When I bought it for the price of £2700. Not a bad deal . M. ...  

Very cool package, congratulations

I believe it was 4,200 Euro at that time…

I must have got a good discount from my AD.
