Craig S Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Hi all, I know many many people before me (and after!) have asked this many a time, but is there now a general consensus on the "best" OOBG LV? Not really a fan of the new LV, as I much prefer the older model with black dial and the green bezel only. Before i get flamed to eternity, I'm not a noob who hasnt checked the forum first for info, rather Rolex isn't really my area of expertise (I'm more of a Breitling and Omega guy). Iv'e read loads of reviews on both here and RWI, but still undecided as they consensus varies greatly. I was hoping that maybe a version is out there that has been discussed and I have missed. I've checked out the Noob, along with the WM9 offered (probably not any more) by BK, but no really my first choice (can't afford so much outlay on a BK version in example) Can anybody suggest any good alternatives to the Noob and WM9 versions? Iv'e seen this model which looks OK, and probably needs minimal work (CGs etc) to get it looking good: http://www.puretimewatch.com/product/submariner-16610-lv-sa3135-best-edition/ Bit wary of the clone movement mind... Any help and advice on this would be great. Thanks people! Craig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giobo Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Go with BK's..I wouldn't risk with this movement ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefcook Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 The movement is quite nice - I am using it in my franken submariner - but the case and bracelet is not even comparable to the Noobmariner from five years ago. The SA3135 16610 really is only good as a movement / dial / hands donor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
its_urabus Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 +1 for chef's comments. buy the sa3135 LV and drop it in a TC case. you will need a LV bezel though. good luck and keep us posted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blbl Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 PTs offering close to 400 for that w/o shipping. I'd say contact BK and you'll never be disappointed. Check out pics of his offerings for the sub LV in other members post you;ll fall in love instantly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
