people mad at the name ' Starbucks' must start questioning ' Pepsi ' ' Batman ' ' Coke ' .....
Starbucks is the closest analogy , makes sense.

Idiotic names aside, both are neither “timeless” with the colour in them.

If you want timeless, then go for a LN Sub or GMT.

Just to pick your mind on your opinion, what makes a black watch more “timeless”? I get they may be more of a “safe” choice from a personal style point of view.
Rolex models with color have been around a long long time and don’t seem to have faded in their popularity to support them being any less timeless.

I think the original Kermit is timeless. The case proportions and character of the green aluminum bezel can't be repeated. I would wear a 16610LV to my grave. If I had one...

It’s almost unfathomable the idiotic names could’ve progressed even further than what it was a few years ago but it has.

I’d go 12xxxx > 11xxxx; GMT > Sub

So 126710 BLNR > 126610 LV

But 126610 LV > 116710 BLNR

People getting triggered by nicknames never ceases to amaze me.

Did the Pepsi get renamed when it came out in the ceramic bezel? So why would the Kermit be any different? I can live with the Cermit or LV3 but Starbucks is ridiculous.

Anyways I'd choose the Kermit over the BLNR.

Personally I always ranked GMT one step ahead than Submariner and I tend to prefer blue and black rather than green and black, so to me Batman is the winner.
P.S. I used to call the Sub 126610LV Kermit second gen or Kermit ceramic.

Starbucks coffee sucks

So I’d go with the BLNR.

Between those two I'd pick the new green Sub.

BLNR 40mm is superior to 41mm unless you have tree trunk wrists.

16710 Pepsi/Black - BB58 Black

Have to agree I sometimes wonder if TRF is turning into some sort of kindergarten forum for 3-5 years olds.
