I’m in the midst of a first world dilemma...

I have the oppurtunity to purchase either the 114060 or 116610LV at an AD. I like both equally BUT for different reasons.

I like the 114060 for the history, simplicity, and versatility.

I like the 116610 for the brashness, wow factor, and uniqueness.

Which would you get and why?

Trying to seek some knowledge from people who have been in the Rolex hobby for a lot longer than myself.

Thanks in advance!

I have both. Go with 116610LV. Unique in my opinion

Depends on which of these two questions is more important to you.

This, but both. If you can only choose one, get the LV now because the Submariner is cheaper and easier to obtain later. Still, if it's one or the other forever, the 114060 would be my choice.

antoflo · 7 September 2018, 07:10 AM

I would go for the LV

Cru Jones · 7 September 2018, 07:12 AM

LVc... all the goodness of the Submariner with an amazing dial.

Mystro · 7 September 2018, 07:19 AM

If you can get a LVc at your AD now, run and get it. Go man, go.....

The real world grey market price for the Hulk is now up to $13k USD and shows no sign of slowing down.

Pmt2 · 7 September 2018, 07:43 AM

LV without a doubt! You’re going to love it!!

schoolboy · 7 September 2018, 08:21 AM

I say LV

If you don’t like I would imagine that it is easier to go from LV to 114060 that backwards.

The 114060 would be my choice for the reasons you stated.

antbkny · 7 September 2018, 08:27 AM

If you like green,the lv is a no brainer

nick800 · 7 September 2018, 08:42 AM

If you don’t want the LV, please PM me the AD name.

Amochosto · 7 September 2018, 08:45 AM

I’d get the 114060, I don’t love the LV in pictures, and I’ve never seen one in person to really compare. A few weeks ago I saw my first Kermit, and liked it much better in person so I might change my opinion if I ever see one.

rmlovett1 · 7 September 2018, 08:46 AM

If it’s an only watch...I’d say 114060. In a collection....LV :)

LV here for me.. also, would be easier to source a Nd later if you wanted it also or changed your mind.

Finslayer83 · 7 September 2018, 09:58 AM

Submariner (which is what the 114060 is called)

ETA: I'd get the 14060M or 16610LV over either ceramic.

I suspect the OP’s AD won’t have those in stock though.

Easy E · 7 September 2018, 10:00 AM

Do you own any other watches? If yes, how does either fit? Does that matter at all to you?

Either is a great choice, can’t miss.

Vice1391 · 7 September 2018, 10:15 AM

I have a BLNR and a Seamaster

Live a little. Look at 5 digits or a 5513.

Considering the other watches in your collection, go with the LV. At least in my opinion.

You have a black face SS sports watch. You have a SS dive watch with a black dial. A little diversity within a collection is a good thing. How much wrist time will another SS watch with black dial get anyway?

*this also takes nothing into consideration about future acquisitions, just my opinion based on current collection.

My Seamaster is the one with the electric blue dial

t65tampa · 7 September 2018, 10:03 AM

114060 for me. I don't like wearing green that much.

Twin1 · 7 September 2018, 10:16 AM

Subc

djjonesivs · 7 September 2018, 11:30 AM

I own both I wear the 114060 more.
The 116610lv is special to me I wear it when I feel my mood is up to it.
I would get both if you could!
