That’s a tough vote!
They’re all beautiful and don’t think you can go wrong with any of them!
I voted LB, love the unique blue dial
I have the LV and love it
Next comes the CHNR, beautiful contrast, but another black dial
Last to me comes the YM. I’m not a huge fan of the oysterflex

Go blue or green. Do you prefer TT or Brushed steel. Let that lean you one way or the other.

This is tough. For most of my life the bluesy was the definition of a Rolex to me.....but that said I just love the Hulk!

Rootbeer by default. Current sub LV then i would go with that. Not a fan of the neon dial green on the hulk or neon dial blue on the bluesy. Not a big fan of the YM with the red print or the rubber strap.

This is an impossible poll! These are so different! If you wanted to do this right, vote between the Submariners, and vote the GMTs. Intermixing these is just not right…

I’d take the Hulk over the Bluesy
I’d take the Rootbeer over any GMT, and I mean ANY GMT.
And the Yachty is just all on its own. A different animal all together. That’s like comparing a DayDate with an 1908!

Haha completely disagree. The aesthetics are 90% the same DNA with some slight variance here and there. To say it's akin to a DD vs 1908 is wild. To each their own though

Agreed. Totally normal to cross shop these.

My vote is for the YM.

I'm a YM fan (owner since 2015), but in this case I vote Bluesy (owner since 2020). You probably need both. Yes, need .

Anyone else remember pre-hype days when everyone was saying the hulk looked like a cheap watch because of the dial? I never hated it, it's just funny how things work out. Personally, I like the root beer GMT a lot.

116610LV for me if I had to choose, though I would ideally pair it with a RG YM on OF. :-)

I’ve read most if not all of the 116610LV threads on TRF over the years (sad but true ) and don’t recall it ever being characterized as being a “cheap watch because of the dial”.

The hulk and root beer both different watches and look great in person. Both are great daily wearers .I would lean in the direction of the root beer the color combo of dial and two tone look better in person .

It would be the 116610LV, Hulk, for me. A unique and discontinued watch that wears and looks great.

Yup, I turned one down at my AD.
If it hadn't been discontinued it would still less popular than the LNs.
Rolex understands that if you want to make a lower production/demand watch iconic, discontinue it.
Root Beer also gets my vote.
