Do these watches have the same bracelet as on my Sub LV? The difference I noted between my bracelet (on the LV) and some older ones is that on the older ones, up where the bracelet attaches to the lugs, on the inside of the bracelet, there are over-lapping "tabs" like these seen in this photo wot I done pinched from anuva thread.

The LV doesnt have this, and I am wondering if this is a new type of construction, and if so, is this a major factor in the LV's bracelet feeling so solid compared to others I have felt?
Thank you.

Though one is an oysterlock and one is a fliplock both the current 16710 and the LV use SELs. Might account for the more "solid" feel you're talking about,

16710

16610LV,

Obivously the fliplock on the Sub is longer and has the diver's extension.

Mike,

I know that the LV never had lug holes (except the example from Basel 2003), but I have a question about the info in the FAQ's:

"2002 end of Y series early 2003. Non lugs holes started to make there appearence on most models."

Would that apply to the GMT II, as well? Meaning: did the GMT 16710's get the non lug holes cases at the end of the Y-series or first later?
