Hi guys, just picked up a new mini catalouge, I noticed that the image of the Sub LV has changed slightly, it shows an LV with lug holes and a non SEL bracelet! Is this a special run of the last of the LV's?

esm · 14 December 2009, 04:51 AM

good eyes!

na, spotted it the other week... and was like WTF?!? them i the conclusion i came up with is that all watches in their catalouge were photoshopped (ie. dial onto the case/bracelet). only on the mini catalogue, not the big one.

HOLY SH.....I can only DREAM its the truth

A photo similar to that one was in the original press release from Rolex, before production..

To the best of the community knowledge, the LV was never produced with a lug-hole case or the 93150 bracelet..

PR agency probably got some wrong pictures in the mail, interesting nonetheless

deserted · 14 December 2009, 05:25 AM

Ummm..

gone-rolex-mad · 14 December 2009, 05:26 AM

You'd think they would have a proper LV to photograph!

SDDS · 14 December 2009, 05:39 AM

i think there is something wrong in the pic

rolexnovice · 14 December 2009, 05:40 AM

Wow. Nice.

Here's the original press release.

Lowflight · 14 December 2009, 05:42 AM

That is funny....

Welshwatchman · 14 December 2009, 05:43 AM

Old press pic, must be.

There's a story that's been floated that the photo was a pre-release in an effort to put fakers off. I have no idea.

dannyp · 14 December 2009, 05:52 AM

And correct me if I'm wrong, but those TT Subs on the opposite page don't look ceramic.

Yup.
What HE said.

gone-rolex-mad · 14 December 2009, 06:14 AM

Yup the next page has the new subs, its an Oct 2009 catalouge. The LV shown has the engraved rehaut. And no I haven't tinkered with the image!

Turn to 1 page before this and look at the SUB 14060M. Compare with this LV pictures and u will find BOTH PICTURES ARE IDENTICAL except the bezel/dial.

IMO seems like poor QC by ROLEX no one check the pics before send for printing.
