I know it's personal choice and all that, but asking everyone's opinion here is part of the anticipation and magic, associated with preparing to buy that new treat!

The Green is certainly singing to me, but what do you all think?

Sub C LV or LN???

JBat · 3 January 2011, 05:52 AM

You answered your own question; the green is singing to you.

Sixxgrand1 · 3 January 2011, 05:54 AM

I'll never understand why anyone would wear a green watch.....imho...

It does, but the black is humming and it's getting louder!!

JBat · 3 January 2011, 06:03 AM

Well, I think the black is the safer choice in terms of what it will go with, but both look great. Me, I'd go black.

In that case - there is only one option.

Get both?

Fair comment. I have never tried one on.

RedBaronF2001 · 3 January 2011, 06:05 AM

We should really have a sticky for this question.

Go with what YOU want and what YOU will enjoy. I will note, however, that black does go with everything.

Fiery · 3 January 2011, 06:27 AM

Based on your current collection, I'd say you need some colours

Watchdog · 3 January 2011, 06:29 AM

For me, my initial instinct would be to choose the green. HOWEVER, I also am certain that I would tire of it. Frankly, the novelty for me would wear off, and I'd be left with a green watch.

So . . .

Black!

Thats a good point and one I'm considering!

Eric88 · 3 January 2011, 06:34 AM

I am a fan of the black Sub-C as I wear mine pretty much 24/7. Green is more like a weekend party watch and I'd probably have one if I grew my watch fund. I had the 16610LV with just a green bezel and it was just enough green for me. The green dial plus bezel on the 116610LV is more green than I like for a daily wear watch.

How about a photo to help you?

Thanks Eric.

The thing I like about the LV is the fact it's a lot different to my SD, and though I love the new Sub C's, the LN might not get much wrist time.

Ok, so I totally overlooked your current collection when I posted my advice. That changes everything! Since you already have an iconic black bezel diver, go green all the way!

PeterT · 3 January 2011, 07:59 AM

As you already have the SD you would broaden your collection with the LV-C.
I liked the LN-C and it is a good starting point but I bought the LV-C as it was different enough from my SD, DSSD, and GMT II black bezel.

Peter

mactrack · 3 January 2011, 08:08 AM

Had both but only kept the LV C.

MortgageGuy · 3 January 2011, 10:46 AM

Get the green...Get the green...Get the green

:thum bsup:

I have both, bought the black and love it, the green was not in the USA yet... bought the green about 2 weeks ago.

Not sure I need both but if I do sell one it will be the black, the green is a KEEPER

Good Luck and here are a couple more pictures for you

pmb600 · 3 January 2011, 10:50 AM

I too thought that a green watch would be too much, but after trying both on, the green one is pretty cool.

vukotab · 3 January 2011, 11:02 AM

I never saw one in flesh, but judging from the pictures - for me it`s green one all the way!

HL65 · 3 January 2011, 11:22 AM

LV for me--Eric--love those shots--that green is amazing!!!

Frankie13 · 3 January 2011, 11:30 AM

Green all the way, just look at all the awesome pics of the LV here on TRF!

RJC · 4 January 2011, 12:38 AM

Thanks for all the advice and opinions!

I went and tried an LV again today, and it's definitely THE one.

Speaking with my AD tomorrow to try for a deal!!

if you leave it until tomorrow you might end up paying more, with the vat increase.

ersnyder · 4 January 2011, 12:56 AM

For me, it's green all the way. But, I like unique and black is much more commonly seen than the green. Plus, I also like the color changing feature.
