mars08 Posted September 3, 2008 Report Posted September 3, 2008 I got a noobmariner a few weeks ago. Could not be happier with the value for money. Now I'm considering buying an LV as well. I was wondering if any LV noob owners could answer this question for me. Does the LV model of this rep have different hands and dial to the regular watch, or has the makers simply swapped the bezel? Does anyone with this rep want to comment?
ubiquitous Posted September 3, 2008 Report Posted September 3, 2008 For gen and MOST reps (there are some out there that are incorrect), the LV 50th Anniversary 16610 comes with what is called Maxi Markers (larger than standard indicies) on the dial and Maxi Hands (the minute hand is wider than that of standard). These are actually the same size markers and hands that are on the 16622 YM as well. Standard 16610: 50th Anniversary 16610LV: Both pics ref'd are of genuine examples (not mine).

This couldn't get more concise & sharp!
mars08 Posted September 3, 2008 Author Report Posted September 3, 2008 Thanks. I understand the changes made to create a gen LV model. I was just wondering how common it was for these differences to flow through to the REP. In particular the noob version.
ubiquitous Posted September 3, 2008 Report Posted September 3, 2008 Most reps, noobs included, have the correct sized hands. The really poorly done reps typically do not. Since Eurotimez is a dealer on this forum who specializes in noobs, I've included one of his pics to illustrate that yes; noobs do come with the correct dial and hands:
mars08 Posted September 4, 2008 Author Report Posted September 4, 2008 Great. Thanks to all for the info.
