*The main differences this Rolex Kermit presents, when compared to its predecessors, are the "Maxi Dial" with wider hour markers and bigger hands; the fourth bezel variation, 'B4' with the internal corners of the 5 perfectly square and a pointed 4; the laser engraving of "ROLEXROLEXROLEXROLEX" on the reheat, a variation introduced after 2007; a 'C1' case featuring the '"" (standing for 'Blind hole' or 'Trou Borgne') without the 'LV' and with solid lugs; a 'Round O' dial with a Narrow Rolex; the 'R' of Oyster exactly between the legs of the 'R' in Rolex, narrow spaced on 'Oyster Perpetual Date'; and a narrow 'Swiss Made' with three shorter minute division under it and lenghtened ones on the sides.

The T on the case reference means "sunken holes"

All of this gives us the following combination: Rolex Kermit Mark VI, Case: C1, Dial: D4, Bezel: B4
