The graphic showing all of the various models and their weight that has been floating around pegs the Sub at 135g and 13mm height.
I wonder if 135g is for the ND and the Date is 137g?
I'm now convinced there are 2 different genuine LV dial variations.
3 tick dial
5 tick dial
Also, 2 different genuine LV bezel variations.
From TZ this morning:
It is a sad day when mostly honest people have to resort to shady tactics but I think the answer for shipping your watches back will be somewhere inside a toy piano..
While we're on the subject of Cigars, if you fancy a free Montecristo White, there is a sample offer for another 9 days here:

It looks like quite a bit has already been said.
From their pics, it looks to me that EL's model has better crown guards but that it also has a bold 'm'. Hopefully it will not come with the bold 'm'. If you were not up for modding, it seems big CGs would be easier to call out than the bold 'm'.
As for the LV dial itself, I have discovered 2 different dial variations in genuine form.
The 3 tick dial does not have the extra spacing between Oyster Perpetual Date. This is the dial that comes on the MBW.

The 5 tick dial does include an extra space between Osyster Perpetual Date. This is the dial that comes from King.

The 5 tick dial with extra spacing seems to be more common the genuines I have seen but do not have a large enough sample size to try and date which years came with which dial. Maybe someone can step forward and start that project
I agree here that you were sent the wrong item and any time that happens, it is up to the dealer to correct it.
However, if you choose to swap the bezel yourself, waiting only for the replacement bezel to come in, you will probably have your finished watch sooner than if you ship the watch back to the dealer and wait for the replacement to arrive.
To me, my MBW LV looks to have the exact datemag of the right pic.
Shouldn't WM9 and MBW be the same or do people just say they're the same quality and finish?
However, the date mag definately looks less than that of my MBW LV. Does this model have a smaller magnification or is my LV too large?
If the datemag is too small, I would think the rehaut would be too shallow?
It will be ETA, don't worry about that.
Tracking numbers may or may not work when overseas and even if they do work, the package will probably be delivered before they show up.
Just sit back now and patiently wait for it to arrive.
Welcome!
