Best way to sell Green Rolex Sub

[Paracetamol]

I received a green sub (ceramic dial) as a present from my wife in May 2012. It was bought from an AD in Bahrain (where we used to live) and I have not worn it and prefer the black version.. The watch is new with all stickers on it and remains in the box with the warranty vaild until May 2014. Does anyone know where I could sell this or do a straight swap for an equivalent black one. I have tried DomH but he is not responsive so other suggestions please.

16610 or ceramic?

Can you not swap the bezel/bezel insert and live with slightly larger white hour markers? My wife bought me a black Sub and I'd never sell it. But that's me.

Whilst TZ is a good forum, signing up just for the fact you want to trade a watch will not be a good idea.

I would try places like blowers, austin kaye, watches.co.uk some may be happy to do a straight trade. I would also place an ad in the classifieds as well as eBay possibly stating that you are looking for a straight trade.

Could sign up and sell on watchuseek/timezone/watchnet/puristpro/rolex forums, or pay a bit of a fee for listing on chrono24.

Hi its the 116610LV with the ceramic dial (ie the latest design). I enquired with Rolex if they would supply the bezel and face and i would then be able to swap the two and keep the green for a later time. They said no, because the numbers would not match the design...

116610LV is one of the most sought after current model Rolex's, there's also a price increase due so I would be holding out for a strong price on this.

Now that sounds like a good excuse to go clothes shopping

You are quite mad.


I have a Seiko Pogue which I like wearing, but I haven't got anything sunburst gold!!

What does your wife think about this?

Frankly peed off as I kept saying how much I wanted a green sub before she bought it for me.

Wear it for a bit and see if you get used to it?

Seems a shame to sell something so lovely for a plain black one!

That gets my vote.

I had a 116610 (the green ceramic), I really thought it would have been a keeper, but the novelty quickly wore off.

In the end I went for a ceramic GMT.
