Don´t like the green colour at all but anyway Lv for me. Never liked the lightning on the seconds hand on the GV.

Too many LV out there.

Easy..GV.

The LV is just a sub with maxi dial and green bezel...no biggie.

Alan111 · 17 January 2009, 01:37 AM

LV - there's something about it...

The GV never appealed to me much.

But isn't the GV a Milgauss with a green edged crystal????

LV for me. Thought seriously about the Milgauss. Had one on the counter alongside a LV and GMTIIC. Love the dial and bracelet.

But; I love a timing bezel and date feature even more. Besides there is something about a sub that makes it feel like a better all around and abuseable watch then the GV. I know the GV is equally as durable as the sub but it does not feel that way.

GV here. The LV is nice but it's a 'kick you in the bollocks' type watch as opposed to a 'not obviously a Rolex' like the GV.

karmatp · 17 January 2009, 06:36 AM

LV all the way. I would pick any tool watch over a dress watch every time, no polished center links, it has the date, and it just looks tough.

OH, and the LV has a straight second hand.

SubKing · 17 January 2009, 09:30 AM

I used to own the lv the first year it came out. Sharp watch and I love subs but the insert is no big deal as well as the old style thin clasp. The gv has a solid new clasp and it may be polished vs brushed but once u scratch the lv insert its done for.. The polished bezel on the gv can be easily re polished for scratches.. It doesn't have a date true but the crystal is something that makes u wonder how they do it.. I like the polished and brushed combo on the gv.. It is also going to remain a more hard to get model unlike the lv u can come accross them much more easy. So fare I like the gv more then my old lv

Gaijin · 17 January 2009, 01:21 PM

LV definitely!

bodybump · 17 January 2009, 04:43 PM

Oh my a lot of LV fan here.... so here we go..Im selling one LV PM ME!!!!!

oldrolex · 18 January 2009, 12:12 AM

The GV has a different look. I like the GV, but I'm finding that my taste change and the more time I spend on the forum the more I want another watch.

the KING · 19 January 2009, 04:21 AM

I got both LV and GV. GV is indeed simple but special. the green saphire is really a plus. if you got a GV you know what I'm talking about.

Watch Fan · 19 January 2009, 07:46 AM

Tough choice. I have the GV and want the LV. If I had to pick, I think I'd go LV because you can change the bezel to black, which makes it more versitile.

k4vks · 19 January 2009, 09:57 AM

gv gets my vote hands down.

gettocard · 20 January 2009, 06:56 AM

builtforspeed · 20 January 2009, 08:00 AM

LV for me.

RolexBuckeye · 20 January 2009, 02:12 PM

LV, its the sharpest looking watch out there.

pepemaui · 20 January 2009, 02:16 PM

GV, jeans or suit ok.

Andad · 20 January 2009, 04:49 PM

I like my GV. It's different and I don't see many around. Bigger dial compared to other sports model Rolex and I like the twin colour lume. My LV has the bigger triplock and maxi markers. They are very different watches - do you want a date/diver/anniversary or a brushed/polished modern bracelet Rolex.
Which one pushes your button?

B.B.B. · 20 January 2009, 05:37 PM

lv sub is the winner, just look on jj's thread on which watch ur goin to keep for a long time(something like that) u see the votes? great huh!
