ubiquitous Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 I'm somewhat curious to see what they do with the 16520. Mostly wondering if they will attempt to change the subdial positions to group them in closer like the El Primero... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomhorn Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) Wow ... I think I'm officially excited for mine to show up! The project log is here: http://www.watchmaker9.tv/ProjectLog/2009-M-SERIAL-ROLEX-SUBMARINER-16610LV-PROJECT.htm Edited October 6, 2009 by tomhorn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watcher Posted October 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 That thought crossed my mind, we shall see..... I was concerned about the rehaut engraqving on the LV but it looks very good in the pics. Is it me or is the crown a liitle too near the case. I'm being picky though as it looks very good on the whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southcoast68 Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Wow, that LV looks great! They state that the 7753 movement shares the same layout as the Zenith El Primero, which would be great indeed, but is it also a thin enough movement to make a rep Daytona with the correct thinner case (or closer to it at least)?

jfreeman420 Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 The movement isn't nearly thin enough but the dial spacing is better than the 7750. I believe this is the base for the Panerai daylight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickdick Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 All looks damn good, except for one thing WM9 seems to suffer from are the crooked markers on 6,19 and 12. A real bummer because the rest looks really realy good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefcook Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 Lol, the think the T after the Subs reference no between the lugs means "Tradidionale". Never read such [censored]. The T stands for French "trous borgnes", in English "sunken holes" and is on your watch when it does not have lugholes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ubi knows this, but for others - Zenith 400 (El Primero) Dia - 30mm, Height - 6.5mm Zenith 410 (El Primero with date) Dia - 30mm, Height - 7.55mm ETA 7753 Dia - 30mm, Height - 7.9mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ammandel Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Look like they've corrected the end link gap to you guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 What's wrong with those markers? I don't see them being "crooked". The watch looks really good to me... just as good as the black 16610 but with better end links. Probably not very realistic to except anything more from a rep, huh?

marcoxxx1984 Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Considering WM9 processing time the 16520 will be available for my son... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charles fenom Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 i think the rehaut engraqving is not as good as the gen one . I have to reconsider buying it or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 i think the rehaut engraqving is not as good as the gen one . I have to reconsider buying it or not. The engraving is tough to get done well. The black 16610 was available with and without... how about this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickdick Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 The engraving is tough to get done well. The black 16610 was available with and without... how about this one? I pretty sure it is, i got to TT subs coming from BK, BK asked if it needs engraved or not. I reckon its the same base case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YES I was wrong...........jiiiiiiiipppppiiiiiiie! I hope that we do not have to wait too long to get one! George said that he can only build 3 LV a day!!!!??? And BK told me that the bracelets was the SAME as the sub V2 (but that was BEFORE he got the cases so lets hope that they are better !) but we can hope that they are better than the V2 ones!

charles fenom Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I pretty sure it is, i got to TT subs coming from BK, BK asked if it needs engraved or not. I reckon its the same base case. Then I think I would get the LV without rehaut engraqving . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ordered mine w/o, and confirmed it with BK that it was available that way after seeing WM9's site list it only with the rehaut engraving.

theblueprince Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Ditto that. Ubi knows this, but for others - Zenith 400 (El Primero) Dia - 30mm, Height - 6.5mm Zenith 410 (El Primero with date) Dia - 30mm, Height - 7.55mm ETA 7753 Dia - 30mm, Height - 7.9mm Do you know if the sub dial spacing is the same on the 7753 as the EP400, or are they further apart/not as tightly grouped?
