How many 16610LV is enough?

All,
coming among you for a sanity check. I've been so smitten with my M series lime dial, that I have a notion of adding a second one...
maybe flat 4 F serial (Y are just too darn expensive).
Do you think this makes sense?
cheers- Rafteur

Unless your collection is HUGE, that's a level of redundancy that I wouldn't want. If you want a flat four I'd flip what you have and get one.

If by lime you mean that olivey metallic green , I thought it was f and y , maybe some d serials , but from pics I've seen by the m series it was definitely a darker green

I had a M serial LV years ago and that was enough for me.

I think it has a little more to do with future earning opportunities.

One is enough for me. Perhaps look at something else to add to your collection.

No, unless you have an unlimited budget get something a little bit different.

Yes. In my humble opinion. Don't sell that.

Yea. In my humble opinion. Don't sell that. If you miss it will be harder and more expensive to replace.
