No its the same watch with a few extra fonts on dial expect Rolex used a older stock picture.

I believe that you are right. The Sub has sported the 4-line COSC dial for the past couple of years.. Perhaps they used an old stock photo..

There's many errors in this new brochure.

Datejust TOG 36mm and yellow gold Yacht Master's (all size) are still present, even if they have been removed from Master Catalog 2011-2012.

A couple of years ago they produced a mini brochure including the original Sub LV here in the UK.
In the photo, the watch had lug holes and the bracelet from the Sub ND.

It must have been a Sub ND originally with a photoshoped LV dial and bezel.

I have to say the proof reader should have known better.

looks like it s the worldwide generic version, except for the texts on the last page.... the price list has always been an "add-on" to the catalogue anyway.

We drive on the right side - it's everyone else who's got it wrong - apart from our Australian friends and ...oh I can't remember.

We invented driving anyway...
