126610lv or VTNR?

I would appreciate some opinions and insight because I am truly on the fence. My current collection consists of a SD4k, 16570 Polar, 16233, and a Santos. I have no hope of acquiring a BLRO (my #1) at my AD, but I think the two listed options are actually possible.

Which would you prefer between the 126610lv and the VTNR? If offered one from the AD, would you turn it down to wait for your preferred choice? If forced to pick...I would lean towards the LV, but I like enough about the VTNR that I don't think I could turn it down.

You’ve already got a great diver. In this case I’d go VTNR

I voted LV before reading truth be told.

Out of the two that’s definitely my preference, however after reading I would go with the VTNR. Not my favorite watch by far but in your situation if you like it that would be the one as you have a diver.

I like both references but lean towards the LV. It is unique because of the green bezel. The VTNR is a great color scheme but don't like that it is left handed.

Are you right- or left-handed?

Right-handed would be LV

Left-handed would be VTNR

I have both. If you like a sub, get that. If you like a GMT get that. Personally I prefer the fit of the GMT over the Sub

VTNR is a very unique watch. LV not nearly as much. Seems like neither will be a daily so the more exclusive one might be fun to have in a collection. I don’t find the VTNR to be weird.

They are both great options. I guess the VTNR is more of an acquired taste. LV is the 'safe' option.

Thanks for all of the responses. I'm right handed. I just think that a GMT with some color would check the most boxes in my collection. However, I do agree that the LV is more conservative.

I'm just going to gladly accept the watch I am offered...if/when it ever happens.

VTNR all day long. It’s a totally different watch experience and the GMT movement is better and more useful than the Sub.

And I write that as an owner of the current LV.

The VTNR is actually number 1 on my AD wishlist and I will likely sell my LV after getting the VTNR.
