I tryed on the 11610LV again today. What a beauty!!! Pure Rolex...
My AD said that it will no longer be available...And he meant soon...
This AD is a top AD manager and highly regarded here in Holland, so you can bet on this.... Maybe some of you already know...but im just passing information.

We should know pretty soon as Bazel is getting close. I'm with you on the LV. What a great reference.

rad87gn · 8 January 2010, 03:44 AM

My fingers are crossed that they do get discontinued!! That would make production 2003-2010 (which is a long time). LOL!

viper · 8 January 2010, 03:50 AM

the LV rocks! had mine for 4yrs now, it grows on me more & more

Tools · 8 January 2010, 03:59 AM

You guys crack me up...

The LV isn't a different reference.... It's just a Sub 16610 with a green insert and the YM dial... The black one is an LN, and the green one is an LV... on the paperwork... They are marked, physically, exactly the same, and aside from those two "add on" differences (OK a hand too), the watches are identical.....

.. I say, Of course it will cease production when the ceramic comes out.. That's a no brainer...

....... (I know that you green guys love it..but down the line, this one will be incredibly easy to fake..)

The real question is whether they will come out with a green ceramic, like they did the blue...

Have to agree with you there Larry especially you guys crack me up. My AD told me that all the new 2010 Basel model bracelets will have colour coded ceramic screws.

Does that mean the orange hand and cream dial Explorer II's are really worth the same as the black face counter parts since it's just a dial change? What about the red writing vs black writing dial Subs?

Mosco · 8 January 2010, 04:25 AM

Doesn't the LV have the maxi dial, as opposed to the regular 16610?

Well Larry did quote in his above that the LV did have the YM style dial and yes both LV and YM have maxi dials.

So does that mean it is not exactly the same then? Different bezel, and maxi dial

AND different writing on the dial - slightly more scattered font, but 'whiter' on the regular Sub, vs more ivory and sharper font on the LV? Padi, Larry - sorry, but I beg to differ.

Well.. I suppose that you can disagree..

But, just like different dial options are offered on the Datejust, or the Explorer II, and even the TT Sub... the Maxi Dial is just an option available for the standard 16610 Sub.... It simply is not a separate reference...

Aside from the dial option and green insert......it is an identical 16610 Sub reference number..

Yes, it's the Maxi Dial.

JBat · 8 January 2010, 05:32 AM

I was just in a Ben Bridge an hour ago, and they had an LV on display. It's tempting to buy it, but they won't budge on price.

esm · 8 January 2010, 05:33 AM

hope the top manager gets it right thus time.... Haven't we been hearing about the cease of LV production for the last 2 years?!?

So what was the verdict Pete? LV or the GMTIIC?

The verdict is GMT IIC.. but it was a real close call.. I loved both..

My AD clearly thought that the GMT was the one for me.. He knows me so well by now, that he sort of decided for me .... He said, "pete, lets put the LV back in the showcase...the GMT is the watch for you". Seeing that the LV was only slightly cheaper...his reasoning was based on customer satisfaction rather then selling the more expensive model..

true that!
when you are spending that kind of money, a few hundred quid isnt going to make a difference. the main thing is whether you are going to like it or not

i think its time to post a pix of a LV again (we loving seeing ix arent we......?!?)

Now that, is one heck of a creative shot!

Did you use Dawn or Palmolive?

He was lying to you. The only people who know that information are the very top people at Rolex.

They will be replaced with ceramic! Expensive to replace if broken. No longer a so called tool watch. Hold on to your vintage gents.

vambeck · 8 January 2010, 09:12 AM

Hope they discontinue it, cause I am never flipping my one!!

esm · 8 January 2010, 09:17 AM

I really hope they stop the production on the LV, not because of the probable value increase (who really knows anyway), but to stop most people comparing the Sub/Sub LV to a GMTIIC.

Bring on the Sub-C vs. GMTIIC battle!!!!

rad87gn · 9 January 2010, 02:11 AM

I just got updated appraisals for my Rolex collection from an authorized dealer in my area and every Rolex I own has been discontinued and replaced...Sea-Dweller, old style GMT-II, old style TT blue face sub, old style ladies wg 18K/SS DJ, and my Kermit Sub.

Welshwatchman · 9 January 2010, 02:27 AM

It's highly likely, though not certain, that the last LV ever produced has already been made and is in the supply system somewhere.

I think that the maxi dial looks SO right on the Sub, forget about the other differences.

I've got mine so let them do their worst.

A1000 · 9 January 2010, 02:29 AM

x2 I agree. Mine's going nowhere fast, other than on my wrist
