Yes: LN = Lunette Noir (French for "black crescent")
LV = Lunette Verte (French for "green crescent")

Crescent refers to the round shape of the bezel insert.

Others include Bleu (for Blue), Rouge (for Red), etc.

Okay, got it now. And also made the decision to polish my rusty French

Seems as if Noob is the leading rep specialist, possibly because it's the biggest factory.

Noob also did make an OUTSTANDING Rep of the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms... I believe it was also voted "rep of the year" in 2014... I had it for sometime and I must say it was one of the best Reps I have ever seen...

Does anyone know what factory makes the Bell and Ross reps, just out of interest? I had a search round forums but can't seem to find anything?

Dude, applaud your effort in this. Just a minor correction, the noob subs start with a double 1. eg 116610LN.

TC ones you did it right.

I think noob makes the best planet ocean. The build quality of my noob feels at least two times better than that of any other factory I've owned. Certainly better than the v6f

Since you owned and compared both types, you must know. One more point for Noob as the eventually best maker in general, btw. I'll change the list tomorrow. :beer:

Bk only insures quality control, which you can do yourself... Not necessarily making it better

Most likely since I wrote it ;-)

As I said, I'm a noob trying to learn.

Knowledge like yours, xj4sonx, is the exact reason why I opened this thread. :happy:

Thanks for the info, I'll get it fixed. :)
