So , after much searching it has arrived. It seems it's a lot more scarce in the EU than US.

Got it from UK - Watches of Distinction. Good , no nonsense service. Shipped it overnight from UK to Austria , and I mean overnight. Picked up around 4pm , delivered at 9,44am the next day.

I wont post a string of pics - you all know what it looks like and I aint no expert photographer. So , just one .... it did happen.

I have to say it's a great looker ! Nice weight .... maybe because both my Omega and 5513 I had worn on straps. It's only been 12 hours but I think it will be on my wrist for quite some time to come - really LIKE it!

Nice watch, In bought my GMTc from those guys, they are local to me which helps. I would love a subC with black face and Green bezel.

gimpex · 14 May 2011, 04:07 AM

TBH I like their approach - no hard selling or major negotiations and no stories. Maybe I could have got a slighly better deal if I pushed but I feel good about the price and the experience which also means about the watch.

I didnt really believe them when Giles said he will include overnight shipping . thinking UK to Austria - never.... but , he was right !

Thanks.

ceramic

non ceramic LV ( the previous model 16610LV) has a black face and green bezel

Congratulations, you'll love this watch! The lovely green face of the watch changes color depending on the light angle, as you know....in a way nicer than the more expensive big brother white gold blue face. I tried them both on at the same time and preferred the look of the Subc LV. Wear it in good health, Cheers.
