Does LV mean LoVe ??

[crazycarlitos]

“Lunette Verte”

thats what LV stands for.. but to me it L-o-V-e..



I got my BNIB V-series Sub LV yesterday !

and its BEAUTIFUL !

I originally liked the Maxi dial but wasn't too sure about the green bezel insert..

but once i saw it.. "WOW"

i particularly like the green at night.. its dark, with hints of emerald green !

i bought a black insert already because i was planning on changing it out.. but i am not so sure now.

i might keep it as is.. and buying another sea dweller so i can have the black bezel.

i already miss the SD i sold last week

anyways here are some pics (taken with my phone - been too bz to take proper pics)

also included the other two i have.

three questions to other LV owners.

1 - the box i received was much smaller than the other Rolex boxes I got previously.. is that the correct box i got?

2- the bracelet seems even flimsier than the SD bracelet.. are they different?

3- do u love urs more than i love mine??

thx in adv

I received my new LV ("M" Series) about two weeks ago and it came in a box exactly like the one you show. I also purchased a black insert from Steve Mulholland right here on TRF. I had the insert put in (too chicken to do it myself) and it looks fantastic. I figure I will swap it back and forth about every six months to get that "brand new" all excited again feeling. As far as the bracelet, I think it is just fine. I used to own an Omega Planet Ocean 42mm whose bracelet seemed amazing and I guess it kind of was but, I really see (feel) no difference at all. The one difference I will happily point out is the Sub bracelet handles scratching a whole lot better. Beautiful watch you have there, wear it in good health.

congrats on your new LOVE.

My LV came in the same box yours did. I too purchased a black bezel insert from Steve Mulholland to switch off when I felt the urge. So far, it has been green all the way!

Enjoy the watch - I know I do.

Excellent acquisition!! I it!

What marvelous beauties.
There is nothing to dislike there.

1. Box is smaller than the one my SD came in
2. Bracelet is the same as my SD you just don't get the extra long link or screwdriver.
3. I really love mine, more than you? I don't know and are we talking biblical love or just friends kind of love?

Congrats on the new watch, I hope it gives you as much pleasure as mine does me. Wear it in good health

Congrats again.....lovely trio!

[rfknauss]

My LV that I purchased last October came in a box just like yours. Don't know about the SD bracelet vs. the LV. I LOVE my LV!

[sakuraba]

Congratulations carlitos!

I'm glad you're happy with your LV for SD trade.

Great trio!!

It's been discussed time and time again, but I still don't understand why Rolex cheaps out on their boxes. I love the display my PAM came in and wish Rolex would step up their game. I know it's all about the watch, but the details matter too!

In full agreement.

thank u.

however, i am certainly NOT happy with the trade..

Don't get me wrong.. both transactions went smoothly.

But i realize now that i should not have let that SD go..

not only do I miss it terribly.. I now realize that the LV needs to stay with the green bezel insert.. which means now i am in a market for a SD again (or i might wait for the ceramic sub..)

I agree, too !

[crazycarlitos]

thanks everyone !

one other note.. and other LV owners may chime in here..

when u tilt the face at a certain angle, especially at night, the green disappears completely and the bezel looks like it has the black insert in it ! then u tilt it again slightly to get the dark emerald green.. then tilt it towards the light to get the full green effect..

i am stunned by the different character provided with the LV..

simply Marvelous !

[TurboWatch]

I'm willing to bet that I LOVE my LV more

[Desperado]

Congrats...it is really a beautiful watch
