Well, it started off like every other visit to my AD with me knowing what I was going for.

The plan was to buy a new Explorer II White face, but that all changed when I got there.

I was having a nice coffee & chat with him when he mentioned that he had just had a new delivery in this morning.

I wasn't too interested as I knew what I had come for but when he showed me the green sub, I was sold!

Here I am sat at home wearing the sub instead of an explorer & I think I made the right choice.

A new Green sub on an M at 15% off MRSP!!!

Just can't stop buying nice watches!

Great choice!

Welcome to club LV!!

Andad · 22 September 2007, 11:10 PM

A1 decision - the LV maxi is excellent.

Solar · 22 September 2007, 11:42 PM

Congratulations! An excellent choice.

How ironic that I was just talking to a fellow TRF-er about this very choice, the Sub LV vs the white Exp II.

The Sub LV seems to be a love it or hate it watch on this forum for some reason, very little middle ground.

I love the green, the maxi dial and the Sub shape.

Great choice!

Best,

Chris

Nice

Even I might buy one at 15% off....

Solar · 23 September 2007, 05:04 AM

What is the MSRP in the US for the LV?

(sorry; too many abbreviations....tma)

JAD3703 · 23 September 2007, 05:12 AM

Congrats on getting this time-piece. It is very nice-looking. I was looking at it while I was down at RDV in Toronto a few weeks ago, getting my SD. The green is very distinctive and classic when seen on the wrist.

Good luck with your decision, Chris ...

$5525.

Solar · 23 September 2007, 05:22 AM

I think the LV is great because:

Sub lineage, weight, proportion and bracelet;
Maxi Dial;
Unique green bezel with deep colour saturation.

And I don't think it will be in production after Basel 2008. I really don't. 2008 will make 5 years, and for an anniversary piece, five years past the date of commemoration is a bit long in the tooth........

We'll see.

beautiful watch...and at that price you just cant beat it

Robb · 23 September 2007, 05:27 AM

Edging closer and closer to the abyss! Need a push or are you going to jump willingly?!!

Chris, I really think that you should get the LV, mate. Like we were discussing early today, you'll probably regret it otherwise.

pnefan · 23 September 2007, 05:57 AM

My AD, who I've know for years & regularly beats me at golf, told me after I'd paid for my LV today that his Rolex rep had been in to see him on Thursday & told him the LV would not be in production this time next year.

True or not, I have no reason not to believe him!

Dan

Tombstone · 23 September 2007, 06:19 AM

Dan,
Way to go I totally agree with your choice, the Exp. II is a nice Rolex, but the LV Sub takes first chair to an Exp. II anyday IMHO.

thomas311 · 23 September 2007, 07:12 AM

i agree, thats a fantastic choice. although both are very attractive, the sub LV would be my first choice.

beautiful watch to look at! thanks for sharing.

karmatp · 23 September 2007, 07:12 AM

Nice catch and a great deal. I think everybody would be pleased with a 15% discount. Sounds like you did very well..

SPACE-DWELLER · 23 September 2007, 07:47 AM

Congrats, Dan!

I believe you are the second here who has an M, then!

15 % off the LV is pretty awesome!

jjs · 23 September 2007, 09:56 AM

15% off RRP??!! No wonder you let him beat you at golf.

MAXI DIAL · 23 September 2007, 10:53 AM

Very nice....

I think this is my next step.

I wonder if they will introduce the ROLEXROLEXROLEX chapter ring next year!!

problmchylde · 23 September 2007, 03:38 PM

A green sub at a discounted price.......Fantastic catch.AWESOME......

Wisher · 23 September 2007, 03:49 PM

Welcome to the LV club. I first of all I love the Submariner look and can't resist their smiles. In fact, I truly love them because I have 3, including the LV.

The Green bezel with the black face is super looking. I think you made a great choice at terrific price too.

Jimbits76 · 24 September 2007, 05:39 PM

Congrats Dan...yet another member to Club LV.

Maybe that green bezel is more popular than people think.

15% off!!!!! MY AD wouldn't budge on my Z series only a week or so ago.

Well done!

Arturo · 24 September 2007, 11:19 PM

Just curious, what is MRSP on it now. When I got mine last February, MRSP was $5525. Has that figure held?

pnefan · 24 September 2007, 11:22 PM

Yes, I believe the MRSP is still $5525, in England it's £3030
