16610LV aftermarket insert

[5digit4ever]

Came across this Kermit insert on the bay. Has anyone tried one? Any LV insert experts out there?

HORLOGEAR (Green) Bezel Insert for Rolex Submariner Kermit 16610LV PEARL PIP | eBay

Rolex Submariner 16610LV. Rolex Submariner 16610. Rolex Submariner 16800. This insert significantly differs in quality from similar products, as the custom design provides an amazing "Kermit" green hue while featuring the unmistakable fiberglass LUMINESCENT PEARL.

I saw it too just today and really enjoyed the look of it online. I'd love for someone with a bit of knowledge in the insert game to come and share if the numbers are sized nicely or not, and whatnot lol. It looks rather cute in photos.

 

[5digit4ever]

I’m with you. It looks the part in pictures. Hopefully others can chime in.

I'm starting to wonder if it's this cheap aliexpress one remarketed https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004789921877.html?spm=a2g0o.ppclist.product.26.153cUwuTUwuTFT&pdp_npi=2@dis!GBP!￡4.97!￡2.99!!!!!@211b618e16906689114072652ec1a3!12000030496101363!btf&_t=pvid:11b8986b-836e-46df-9723-8a14fabad6b4

But perhaps not.

Not cheap aliexpress one, you can tell by the quality of the pearl and pearl ring

Actually I might buy one it looks good and i have a TC v6 maxi dial with a LN insert I bought years ago that I want to switch back to LV.

 

[5digit4ever]

Do it for the research! Haha

Found a nice Ali insert. Needs a pip change but this is very close to the shade I was after.

Looks great! Care to share the link please?

Purchased a RAF with faded insert and trying to get a hold of a non faded lime look

The colour of the aliexpress one is gorgeous, but the numbers aren't very Rolexy. - Damn, those are gorgeous pictures. What a great watch!

Oh yeah the font isn’t on point. I’m digging the shade of green though.

I was lucky enough to find a new TC LV insert so this is a filler for now

Wow! This is double awesome. I love the TC shade. I had one many moons ago but mine was bought VERY used. haha. It was described by the seller as 'antique'

 

[5digit4ever]

You gotta love that description!

Would be interested in a review of the ebay insert - if it snaps into a gen bezel, I'll be getting one - pearl looks good

 

[Singapore9]

Apologies - double post as it kept saying there was an error! Blue ebay insert from the same seller also looks good for a bit of fun!

Did you get a chance to order it?

No... but someone sold one in the classifieds and @5ive-Digits-0nly gave good feedback and posted a pic here:

Show off your TC Subs...

Hi guys, I have a TC Submariner that I haven’t worn for a while, and I’m wondering if it’s time to let it go. I’ve realized since the release of VSF and CF that I prefer wearing modern Sub/GMTs and Daytonas compared to the 5-digit ones. Do you think I’d be making a mistake? I haven’t seen a TC...

Looks good!
