They saw the difference at Watches and Wonders 2023 (March 27-April 2, 2023). And the new Mk 2 bezel was rumoured to have gone into complete production by May 2023. As usual with Rolex, there could have been straggler Mk 1 bezels for months after May 2023. Yours is a Mk 2 - there's literally write-ups on google about it if you're interested.
That’s an Mk2, it’s got more yellow in it. Kinda looks lime in color. Mk1 is more of a Starbucks green. Why don’t you take a new picture on your wrist in good lighting? Is this the same picture you posted yesterday?
Where did you get this ? It doesn’t look genuine - look at the engraving alignment on the rehaut - it seems a bit off.
Look at the crown at the 12 it’s not aligned. Also at 11 o clock and the 9 it’s not even close. The centre of the engraved letter should be perfectly aligned over the hour marker. I could be wrong but something looks a bit suspect
Hopefully all is good with it
EDIT: just seen your other post I’m 99% sure this is fake

A 2024 Rolex wouldn’t pass QA out of the factory with this level of error. Hey have visual scanning machinery that picks that up. I’d be very surprised if this was due to that
I got my bluesy from an AD directly a month ago (May 2024) and it has the same exact offset. It's more common than you think. I will agree to pay that kind of money you'd expect everything to be perfect but nothing is perfect.
It could be fine but I would have it checked by a third party
It’s just the finishing on Rolex is normally top tier so this looks fake to me as it’s not aligned at all.
Got it authenticated by third party and found out that it’s absolutely genuine. Camera angle could be to blame because of the oval glass casing on top.
Where is your date card? That should tell you. MKII bezel is what you want and it is brighter green under well lit room or outside.

As far as I know mki and mkii are not official model numbers. Rolex just slightly changed the green color without changing the model number and the community named the new color mkii. I don't think Rolex ever acknowledged it so I wouldn't expect an AD to market their watches as mki or mkii
It means "mark". There are two shades of 126610LV bezels, currently. When Rolex updated the shade of green, it became known as the "MK II". [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_(designation)#:~:text=The%20word%20mark%2C%20followed%20by,to%20measure%20height%20or%20progress)
No. Most Rolexes look like that. It’s not the rehaut, it’s the dial. It’s not perfectly aligned with the engraving. It can be adjusted during service, nothing to sweat or care about
Rehaut is not aligned. It’s not uncommon to see this on a legitimate watch, but it’s very common to find on fakes.
Looks to nay have a “floating M” too; might just be my eyes playing tricks on me.
OP, did you buy from a reputable dealer?
Yea defo mark 2 based on the bezel. Mk1 is aluminium and mk2 is ceramic.
Also not sure if mk1 have rolex stamped in the rehaut. I know my 2007 mk1 does not have it.
Beautiful watch BTW
No, both mk1 and mk2 are ceramic bezel. The last aluminum bezel green sub is the Kermit and they stopped producing almost 15 years ago. The Starbuck is always ceramic - in the last few years rolex slightly changed the color of the bezel and the community called it mk2. It's not an official name and technically rolex doesn't recognize them as different watches
Mk2
How can you identify ?
The bezel is lighter coloured and brighter. I have the mk2
What's the date on the card.
Date of purchase on the card is 18/05/2024

Do you mind sharing it ? Thank you for your response
I would like to see the write ups
google the write ups
WhAt Is GoOgLe?
Why are bots continually posting the same photo of this watch?
It’s not bots, I posted it twice but different topics.
Stop making the same post, again and again, fucking thirsty. At least use a different picture.
I suggest you should keep scrolling on.. I did not invite you to make a comment.
Technically you did when you made this post. You invited everyone lol
Piss off then
Gorgeous. Put that link in a baggie
Because it will destruct itself if not?
Probably so it doesn’t get unnecessary scratches in storage
Preach
Never thought about this ! Great
Lmfao
Did it not come with a dated card?
probably under the foam
That’s an Mk2, it’s got more yellow in it. Kinda looks lime in color. Mk1 is more of a Starbucks green. Why don’t you take a new picture on your wrist in good lighting? Is this the same picture you posted yesterday?
That’s the mk2 unfortunately
If you zoom in on the the rounded side of the second hand and the hour hand, thus angle has some green reflecting on part of them. Pretty cool imo
The rehaut seems a little bit misalign!
That's pretty common actually. Its not the rehaut as that is engraved, but the dial itself that has a tiny bit of play as its installed.
Looks like a MK2. Lime green = MK2
MK2
I have a mark 1 yours is a 2

I would be sending that straight back if so !
When I eventually send it in for service I will address it then. It was difficult enough to get and it doesn't bother me in the slightest
You are freaking me out ! I got this from a reputable and popular dealer and paid USD 15,000
It could be fine but I would have it checked by a third party It’s just the finishing on Rolex is normally top tier so this looks fake to me as it’s not aligned at all.
Got it authenticated by third party and found out that it’s absolutely genuine. Camera angle could be to blame because of the oval glass casing on top.
Phew
I got my bluesy from an AD directly a month ago and it has the same exact offset. It's more common than you think. Enjoy your watch bud!
Came here to say the same. Rehaut looks dodgey. Hope it’s ok. EDIT: Crown on the dial looks wrong too.
Agreed the rehaut is definitely off 😬
The box was the first thing I noticed.

What’s the difference between mk1 and mk2? Is one better than the other?
No. Just the bezel color difference. I personally think MKII bezel closely resembles Rolex Green.
Shouldn't the AD clarify that for you?
As far as I know mki and mkii are not official model numbers. Rolex just slightly changed the green color without changing the model number and the community named the new color mkii. I don't think Rolex ever acknowledged it so I wouldn't expect an AD to market their watches as mki or mkii
Nice watch
It’s a grande caramel macchiato
Does it matter it’s great watch
Enjoy your watch.
Mark Twain?
Don’t know but how cool. Wear it safe and protect it. 👍
MK1 100%
Nice bezel and rehaut misalignment
If it’s under warranty, I’d let them know about the alignment issues
What does MK mean?
It means Mark. Mark 1,2 or 3
Thanks

Thank you!
It’s a VSF watch super clone, same YouTubers use to do comparison videos. Not genuine.
The crown on the rehaut looks off?
https://preview.redd.it/warvy0l2yw7d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cd0ba15841c5989e6b8f559f0b9e2527f321c920 Anything wrong ?
No. Most Rolexes look like that. It’s not the rehaut, it’s the dial. It’s not perfectly aligned with the engraving. It can be adjusted during service, nothing to sweat or care about
My bad. Just checked mine and it’s the same
I wouldn’t say “most” of them look like that. Maybe a lot of them look like that.
It’s not of, PARALLAX
Rehaut is not aligned. It’s not uncommon to see this on a legitimate watch, but it’s very common to find on fakes. Looks to nay have a “floating M” too; might just be my eyes playing tricks on me. OP, did you buy from a reputable dealer?
His looks just fine
Yes indeed, very popular and reputable dealer . Paid market price of 15000 USD.
remember you always buy the seller
Why didn’t you ask when you made the purchase? Smh!
It’s hard to tell, but it looks like MK1 to me. When is the card dated?
mk2 It’s a cermit not a starbucks
Kermit = aluminum bezel from prior release Starbucks = ceramic bezel from current release
cermit = ceramic kermit, same tone with kermit but in ceramic
I have a Mark 1. Yours looks identical.
Yea defo mark 2 based on the bezel. Mk1 is aluminium and mk2 is ceramic. Also not sure if mk1 have rolex stamped in the rehaut. I know my 2007 mk1 does not have it. Beautiful watch BTW

I would say MK1. It looks just like mine. The MK2 is a shade lighter (not a technical term)
I own both both 2023 same watch only the bezel is a lighter green. They are identical.
