Congrats... Now, close your eyes and imagine owning them both. Open your eyes... You know what you need to do. You are one good change order away from affording them both. :)

Well, you picked the right "ONE"!:cheers:

Yep! This is seriously underrated advice. No amount of guys on a forum can tell you what looks best on your wrist to you.

If you like the green sub... it's not for everybody. But having seen the 116610LN in person, I must say that the way the light plays on the dial.. is pretty freakin' nice.

Beautiful Hulk

Really interesting thread just been through nine pages covering 5 years of opinions !

Interested to hear people's opinions as to whether or not the lv-c is still at risk from going out of fashion or losing value long term. Seems to be commanding a premium in the U.K. preowned market.

I visited an AD that have an LV I am due to pickup, first time seeing it in person and I'm really happy with it...... but now I've seen it in the flesh I can appreciate why many would have "clashing" concerns. Luckily I've always been a fashion disaster !

Also do we think the green is now a permeant part of the sub line up ?

Go for the green!!

Five years of answers? WOW
 

OK, I just joined this forum. You guys are are something else. I started to read the thread and noticed the OP was from 2011. Whats up here? I'm on a number of gun forums and they generally will close a thread after it seems exhausted.

This is my maiden post here, so just in case the OP hasn't yet popped for the watch of his dreams:

I am 62 years old. I just bought a black Sub five days ago. Why did I wait until I could actually afford it? Why did I pick the all black Sub?

1. Unless you are independently wealthy buying a watch that will easily set you back $5K used, $7.5K new from an AD or somewhat less from a a gray market source, I would say that you should NOT buy one at all until you can afford to (a) pay cash, (b) the layout of cash has no effect what-so-ever on your savings plan or your current financial situation and, (c) buying a nice, high end watch for cash is a great feeling and you know you aren't screwing your future retirement or your kids and any other part of your life or your loved ones lives.

2. I bought a new black Sub from an AD. It was still in its plastic and styrofoam shipping case. Rolex ships the watches to dealers in a special protective case that is not meant to be seen by the end buyer. I have the shipping case and the "display" case and all papers and the five year warranty. The plastic sticky covers were all over the crystal and stainless steel and it was pristine.

Why black? As others have said already, it goes with EVERYTHING. It is classic. It will never go out of style.

This thing is built like a tank and is ready to go to war . . . it hasn't left my wrist except when I sleep since I bought it.

Congrats on the pickup! I just bought the same watch Yesterday and I love it!:cheers:

Go Green! Everyone has black! And resale on green will go through the roof!

Black was a no brainer for me. But with you, it depends...

I tried both on last week. Both lovely. The green is something else, and needs to be seen in person as is not as bright as photos may suggest. If it was me, I'd go green. They are both beautiful, but the light on that dial is something else and it's less common (which I like). I think the shade is just dark enough not to cause dressing issues too.

Green for me. It is good to have some color.

I've always loved the Green ever since I saw it in person at an AD. If I was to ever own a Sub, that would be the one to get.

Without a question I would go with the hulk. A big part of my decision to get one was because I see the regular black submariners every single day. I like Rolexes that you don't see often. I also own a Rose Gold DayDate President and a 116621 SS/RG two tone yachtmaster w/ chocolate dial. The hulk is my daily watch and it's hands down my favorite watch out of the three watches I own. Yes, the LN may be easier to wear, but the hulk stands out and that's what I love about it. It's just so different.

Take black ! Nicer !
