Forget which one has a better resale, and buy the one you like best!!

Both are fantastic pieces, and both have a persona of their own......

16610 because if you tire of the green you can just put a black insert in.

The bracelet/clasp upgrades on the 116610LV are certainly a big plus, however the 16610LV provides more versatility with being able to change the bezel insert, along with a more aesthetically balanced case. Make sure you're ok with the square case look of the SubC, if that's the one you choose.

The 16610LV won out for me.

Make sure you post pictures when you decide!

I would buy the Hulk for myself. the Anniversary has better resale value long term wise.
Personally I find Anniversary looks fabulous in pictures, Hulk looks fabulous in person. side by side.

I have chosen the 116610LV but i have to be honest with you: the new clasp is great to use but not the most comfortable to wear. The bigger case looks nice but i have feeling that more round cases like the older 16610 is more comfortable.
But if i had to choose again i would still choose the 116610
Good luck

not a fan of changing the bezel, but that seems like a good reason for many people to own one.

im hopeless at making such decision, so i had to have both

Welcome to TRF!

+ 1

If you (the OP) are worried about resale, then perhaps don't buy either

Yes, it is personal, but I don't think the new one can hold a candle to that beautiful anodized aluminium. Not even a flicker.

16610 LV all the way.

Both great choices--for me I own both! Get the one you like the most and either way you can't go wrong!

Both are winner's, but I prefer the newer case size. The best looking dial in the watch industry is on the Hulk.
