SSTEEL 0 Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) I have an old LV Sub that I would love to identify, its around 7 years old, and has a genuine swiss 2836-2 ETA movement inside. It's an LV sub, green bezel, black dial. No bracelet, this is how I purchased it several years ago, just before I had to work away around the world, so never had time to fix it up. I recall purchasing it from these forums back then from a member I can't remember, who said that their child had damaged the casing by putting in it their mouth, and biting it lol. The insert pearl is inaccurate, but the rest looks good, the Crystal is perfect, (No etched coronet @6), cyclops is fine, although no AR. Rehault has no engravings as it's an LV model before even the gens had the rehault engravings. As a result to the child trying to eat this watch, the insert, and side casing is marked. So onto a few questions if I may. Are the LV sub black dial the same as a standard black sub dial? How can I tell the maker of this LV? I would love to know the source. Andrew at Trusty time identified it as a ROLSUB0002. I found the above out as I wanted a bracelet for this LV, and upon posting photos, Andrew identified is as such. Below are the photos of the LV I have, hopefully these will help you inform me of its maker, or source. I am unsure completely, and don't even know if it's a WM9, but I doubt this due to the crown guards.. Text below says ORIG ROLEX DESIGN 16610 - T The text below says.. STAINLESS STEEL Y965687 I really would appreciate any input on what exactly I have here as I do plan on rebuilding it, and even getting the ETA serviced. Any pointers, tells, flaws would also be appreciated my friend. Thanks in advance! Edited February 27, 2013 by SSTEEL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted February 27, 2013 7 years old... Gosh, maybe, this factory doesn't exist anymore. Hours markers definitely old style. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSTEEL 0 Posted February 27, 2013 Indeed, I plan on modding the CG's, plus a few other things, but depending on how all these go, I may simply buy a TC case, and recase it, but ideally would like to find out some more on what I actually have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparkal 4 Posted February 27, 2013 I have had two wm9 from bk and pearl look like nothing I have ever had. Never had wm9 LV but like you mention, look wrong for wm9, How come you think it is? On looking again it looks all wrong for a wm9. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSTEEL 0 Posted February 27, 2013 I'm just curious, if it were an WM9, I would keep it as is, but I feel its not, so shall mod it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
