gioarmani Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 (edited) Here's the last piece of my order from swissexpert; finally got here today. And it's... a submariner that has completely the wrong hands & hour-markers-!! The band is also too sharp on the edges and the clasp needs some adjustment. Needless to say, I was livid when I opened the package, as I've been waiting since last month for the stupid f*cking thing. However, in the light of developing this new found hobby (and attempting my novice hand at repair & modification), I figured why not just bite the bullet & turn it into what it should be--the 16610LV, green anniversary edition. So I've got a genuine bezel insert on the way and thanks to instruction manuals posted online, I'm also going to crack her open and try to disassemble & oil the movement (as soon as my Beifang tools from Andrew arrive). Crazy? Maybe. At least it's an ETA 2836-2... Edited September 8, 2006 by gioarmani Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tshoot Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 I know it doesn't look like a Gen (at least to us) but I really like the LV dial on the black Sub. I like the larger hands and markers and always have - I just don't like green. I was thinking about getting an LV and putting a Black Sub bezel on it.....

tourbillon Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 I know this is an old post but it goes to show how some folks have similar tastes. I too switched the bezel insert to black because I couldn't get used to the green. And I like the larger markers. I'm going to try to upload some pics now. On a similar note, does anyone know where I can get the right dial for this? I still would like the option of switching as my whim does. It would have to fit a 2836-2.
