Funny thing is that I was always curious to see the way my watch looks from the inside

I 've seen pics of the 3186 movement but i would really like to see the movement with my own eyes

I was the guy that write about the green rotor. Here is what I've made at the time when
Rolex release The LV.



I got mail from InSync and some nasty ones from some that trying to get the magazine.

Now I can't do this kind of stuff longer, no one believe my news after all pranks I've done.

Jocke, your photography skills never cease to amaze the hell out of me. You have a true passion for the shutter and lens. I am still in awe with my Rebel XTi. What I really need to get my hands on is a good macro lens. Thanks for the pics.

An LV uses a 3135 movement as do many other models

Is that the cheap handwind 3135? Or could't you afford the rotor?

Yes its just the same plain Jane Cal 3135 thats been around now without any real change since 1989.And IMHO just don't now how Rolex could improve on almost perfection.

Thanks my friend, I do my best to show how it looks.

I'm sorry if you can smell the metal.

Here is another one I've made from the old Rolex site. The new Red Sub is at the Rolex website.



My mail server went down when I got mail from all over the world where they ask how
I find the page. Some guys have looking for the pages in hours and not find it. Some
guys have phone their AD to get on the waiting list and they never heard about the watch.

Good one Jocke

I think if you did a DeepSea with no writing on the ring lock or a "V" serial Sea Dweller with two lines of RED writing on the dial you could cause server meltdown

I know I'd be calling my AD demanding to be on the list

Finally, the origin of the green rotor myth.

Cheers,

Well I hear the M Sub LV may have a blue hairspring as did the last run of the Pepsi dial GMT. It makes sense when you think of it why not use current upgrades in the regular production run? For example the LV M series has the rolex rolex rolex inside the bezal so I would not be supprised if we also saw the new blue hairspring.
