I much prefer mk2 LV over the milky/pastel OG. I sold the first LV 41 just as I didn’t like the original Pepsis with the blurple and cranberry bez

I prefer it to the black, so only wanted the LV.

Then again, I do have a SD43!

Congrats on your pick up, enjoy it

I wish no-date with Green bezel was an option, but yes I love the green, enjoy!

Have had mine since November. Had the LN previously and the MKII LV is the one (for me).

What do you think of the LV? Honest opinions please

Your watch color does not have to match your shirt, or your socks. I thought we established that fact in another thread. You can wear any watch with any outfit!

It’s ok. I’m not a fan of the green ceramic. Looks muted and dull.

Prefer the anodized aluminum on the OG Kermit.

My favorite Sub and I've had more than I can count. Proportion, color, contrast - perfect!

I had a choice of this or the Batman/Batgirl. AD happy to get me either and let me decide which.
I went for the LV as it’s more practical, no PCL, and I don’t need an extra time zone.

I don’t like the M1 much. I love the aluminium version but I couldn’t live with the fragility of the surface.
The M2 improves the colour for me and I can’t wait for mine to arrive this year.

Congratulations!

I have been fortunate to own and enjoy 3 green versions, the OG Kermit, LV (team MK1) and the Hulk for fun.

I'd like to get another MK1 one day - I just love it

I hope you enjoy yours as much as I did mine

I don't like any of the Subs with green on them, it's always seemed like a gimmick to me.

I have owned the 16, 116, 126 MKI and now own the MKII. I let all the others go but kept the 126 MKII version. I love it the best but have to admit the green dial of the HULK is beautiful, I just did not like the super case. Congrats on acquiring it and falling in love with it.

It’s okay. I much prefer the color of the aluminum bezel LV.

I'm a big fan of this one, and my AD is aware of my interest in same. Hopefully, one day, I'll join the LV club. Wear it in good health.

I previously owned the 116610LV, sold it, and now own the 126610LV. I like them both, but I feel they occupy the same niche. Neither watch would be my one and only Rolex. I also own the 124060 which I feel is the perfect Submariner, perfect Rolex, and perfect wrist watch. I like the pop of color that the LV provides as it is more visually interesting. The watch goes with a lot more than nonowners would suspect.

The more I wear mine the more I like it. Honestly bought it even though I did t like it much, but it was offered by my AD. Now….its grown on me and I would say it’s my favourite.

I had a mk1 previously and sold it, had a black sub a couple of times too but always ended up finding the black sub boring.

I now have a batgirl but do really like the mk2 Starbucks and considering adding it to be honest

I think it looks great. I was offered one, just couldn’t do it. Kept thinking it wouldn’t match anything i wore. But, it’s one of the pieces i look at all the time. I imagine I’ll get one eventually. IMO, it’s easier to wear than the hulk is.

If people want the honest opinions of others, they have to accept that they might not like the answer.

I don't like the green bezel so I don't like this watch.

I really like it. I also am in the minority that prefers the 126 LV over the hulk. Slight preference towards the MK1 bezel, but on the list for a MKII with the AD. looks great OP!

I doubt that’s a minority. I’d much rather have the LV than the Hulk, which does not interest me, at all!

I like it, I don’t like the green bezel with green dial, but the black and green is a nice contrast!

MK2 is much lighter green and closer to the original bright green on the aluminum bezel. Love it. Thanks !
