BLNR or LV I or LV II ?

[Sphinx3000]

I love my Starbucks MKI, I like it more than the green on the MKII, but would like to add a Batman and a Pepsi in the future.

It really depends on your collection but I would prefer the GMT BLNR (on jubilee)
No wrong choice here though!
For the LV assuming LV1 is 126610LV MK1 and LV is 126610LV MK2 definitely LV2 the color is more brillant and beautiful

[travisb]

Either LV by far for me.

LV MK1, first version Starbucks wins for me

[subx]

LV MKI Starbucks.

blnr is meh, MKII is meh-er

I’d tend to agree with this

I prefer the 126610LV MK 1.

LV MKII all the way. Batman is fantastic, but unless you like polished center links, and don’t need the flexibility of the glidelock clasp, LV wins in my view

LVii

Polished centre links. Fail.
For a good all round it’s the LV m2 for me. I had the choice of both and I’m certain I picked right for me. The new bezel colour sealed it. The glide lock is a must on a big watch.
It’s my fun watch to pair with my Explorer that is my daily classic.

I prefer to not have to worry about choosing.
So I own the BLNR, the Hulk, and the new LV.

If the BLNR had glidelock, it would be the hands-down winner here. I’d go LV II

I own BLNR and LV II. And I like them both equally.
Sub is like a Porsche 911 - quintessential classic watch.
BLNR or BLRO is like a GT3 with the added ability to take it for a track day(GMT for international travel).

Both are amazing watches and just cannot rank them against each other.

Don't we need an upgrade from Mystro? He just posted the mother of all BLNR incomings

[Travis29]

Both

The cleaner the look, the better, IMO, so either sub over the extra handed GMT.

I have both the BLNR on jubilee and the LV MK2; totally different watches. Find myself wearing the LV more in casual/weekend situations, as the BLNR on a jubilee functions better in a more formal setting. That being said, you can't go wrong with either

[Polarexplorerii]

BLNR for sure!

[Carbon Brakes]

1) LV 1
2) BLNR
3) LV 2

Not a fan of the lighter green LV 2 bezel.

[Nairn1980]

Blnr edges the others for me.

[teehan]

The quick ownership take…. The BLNR is more blingy but very maintainable on the Jubilee bracelet. It’s a light show in the sun that never gets old. It’s thinner caseback and bracelet gives it a edge for comfort, weight and it’s lighter and thinner clasp also makes it less bulky on the wrist. The new jubilee bracelet breaths better and give up nothing in toughness by the way it is constructed to the sportier 3 link oyster bracelet. Both bracelets are a masterpiece that Rolex does better than anyone.

The LVc is the ultimate modern diver with a pop of color. It’s glidelock gives unlimited sizing but at a cost of being a heavier/bulkier clasp. The Sub’s case back does push slightly out more than the GMT case back but probably not a issue for most but you can tell a difference on the wrist.

I like a watch with some color so both fit the bill but the GMT BLNR is more flashy and elegant looking on the Jubilee. I also feel the GMT is more iconic on the Jubilee as much as the Submariner on its oyster. The Sub is less flashy and more sporty. It’s extremely easy to maintain with its all brushed bracelet and clasp giving it a muted look polar opposite of the jubilee bracelet. Both are so iconic and unique looking yet different enough even the average pedestrian can tell them apart from across the room in these configurations.

Both watches will go anywhere you will in the water and I have used both on vacation dives.
The ceramic color is more vibrant blue on the BLNR and looks amazing in any light going from purple to bright cobalt blue having more depth to it over the green of the LVc. The green of the LVc is bright but also can look dark green in low light.


Ultimately I found the size of the BLNR a better fit and I perfer its hue of blue over my last BLRO. In the end the extra flash and design had me give the nod to the BLNR over the bigger feeling on the wrist LVc. It’s more flashy with out all the draw backs of a “flashy watch” which makes it very interesting to my eyes and satisfies my practical side.


Here is both in similar lighting as a comparison.

^^^^I wanted to add ^^^

There is no bad choice here but what look you are after.

FYI: My collection changed and I had many divers and no GMT so I moved the LVc to a new home. I highly recommend both as I took both on long family beach and Disney vacations and both handled everything from 5 star restaurants, resorts, cigar bars, water parks, rides, dives, and the toughest of all, kids.

Have had all three but currently own the BLNR and MKII LV. Prefer the newer green. The MkI to me has watered down looking green. Just my 2 cents but I sold my MKI to the manager at my AD and he loves it so it all worked out.
