Sub LV Green Rotor

I recall a story I heard that all the original 50th anniversary Sub LVs (2003) have a green winding rotor weight and the later ones don't.
Anyone know if there is any truth in this ? I suspect not.

There is absolutely no truth to that at all..

It was all started by our very own Jocke..............


I will defer any more of the story for him to come on-board and flesh out himself............

Started by Jocke, eh? I heard it years ago but didnt' credit it that much. Unlike the green bracelet pins in the GMT anniversary which I know to be true.

Never listen to rumours only fact as Larry stated.

He, he the rumor will never stop.

I've made this one in 2003 after the Basel Show and I'v got many mails about this one.



The magazine owner wasn't happy, he get a lot of shit and nasty mails.
