JoJo35 Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 A couple of years ago, I bought one of my first good rolex reps, a 16610LV from bklm. Soon after I had the watch, I sent it up to RG for a gen triploc and superlume, and I improved the insert and pearl. Between then and now, I sold the watch, but never completely forgot it since I always did admire the uniqueness of the LV sub. Recently, I acquired the grail of LV subs. I'll admit I got super lucky in finding an untouched, and completely original early serial number "Y" LV from the original owner. One of the very first LV's offered to the public, and a true anniversary summer 2003 watch. Here's some pics, hope you enjoy. ...and for those who have LV's, please post up some pics, I'd love to see what's out there
dluddy Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 Beautiful JoJo You are amassing quite the Rollie collection my friend
tmg Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 Indeed you are amassing quite a collection Jojo. Congratulations and wear it well!!!
BROM Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 Wow, hot is all I can say congrats, it looks great.
JoJo35 Posted September 3, 2009 Author Report Posted September 3, 2009 Sweet! Well put together rep! But, ummm... why do you have a hang tag for a "P" series two-tone daytona?
Logan Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 Its nice to see a few of these make it out of the safes and onto wrists. So many got locked away from new by speculators hoping for a huge profit. Clearly that hasn't happened as suddenly they are easily found at pretty much RRP or even slightly less. I passed by the local AD here today and was amazed at the selection of previously impossible to find models sitting in the windows. Greeen subs, Deep Sea's, Steel Daytonas.. etc.
polexpete Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 That's a beauty JoJo... here's my franken Euromariner with gen dial from 2003 too i believe. Really needs a gen bezel insert, one day... Cheers P.
gioarmani Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 (edited) Sweet! Well put together rep! But, ummm... why do you have a hang tag for a "P" series two-tone daytona? Because it was the only hang-tag I had left after selling or giving away the others (that's why it doesn't get turned over in the pics ). I figured only the most anal, obsessive, clinically-certifiable Daytona freak would ever publicly nerd himself out, by pointing that out. I was right...but it took two years.

JoJo35 Posted September 3, 2009 Author Report Posted September 3, 2009 Some truly gorgeous LV's posting up. Any others out there?
BigSlickAK Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 This genuine is posted on a private seller. Should I even consider making an offer? Real of not , help please.
Demsey Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 SWISS MADE over five tics. Cool. Nice watch.
TeeJay Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 I'll be picking one up at some point in the future, so I'll be sure to add photos when I do
TeeJay Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 I just noticed, that the hands have a distinctly blue hue to them, compared to the dial markers... Is this just a trick of the light?

GSmaniac Posted September 3, 2009 Report Posted September 3, 2009 chime in.... as seen at earlyer Post. Actually it has Watchmaterial Pearl, not the crappy one on the Pic a good LV are a must for any SubFan Greets GSmaniac
Demsey Posted September 4, 2009 Report Posted September 4, 2009 Nothing too special here, '04 TWB. I actually had to wait all through weeks and weeks of "The 50th Anniversary LV is going to be repped! The 50th Anniversary LV is going to be repped! Fat hands and everything! I can't wait!" and "LV, what does LV stand for?" banter before this watch broke into the market. Funny. 'TTK' was the first to come through with a quantity. This one is from Eddie Lee. My oldest replica. It started out life with a black insert, people actually ordered them that way as a POP option. They were termed 'Super Subs' or as Eddie called them' 'Souper Sub'. I lived with it that way until I couldn't stand the ridiculousness of it all. Here after the Watchmaterial insert.

Your watch has the correct flat four insert and five tic dial. It seems that later reps somehow lost track, with some versions just a hodge podge of different Mk's, with nothing remotely close to gen. I'm glad to see you've kept it all this time. Ever think of doing further mods to it?
JoJo35 Posted September 4, 2009 Author Report Posted September 4, 2009 --Cropped for PG Rating-- She's just in awe of the LV!
gioarmani Posted September 4, 2009 Report Posted September 4, 2009 I just noticed, that the hands have a distinctly blue hue to them, compared to the dial markers... Is this just a trick of the light? Yes. Just saw that myself.
TeeJay Posted September 4, 2009 Report Posted September 4, 2009 Yes. Just saw that myself. Cool It's funny how the light can play tricks with colors and whatnot Either way, a fine watch
TeeJay Posted September 4, 2009 Report Posted September 4, 2009 --Cropped for PG Rating-- From now on, all LV bezels must be set to this time, in honor of this pic
fcaap_dan Posted September 5, 2009 Report Posted September 5, 2009 Is he using the bezel to time himself?
