Now that I have acquired a BLNR, I am beginning to set my sights on my next watch. It will not be for a while (at least a couple of years) and I am okay with that, but for the time being, these are the two that I have my eye on:

Submariner 116610 LV
Submariner 116613 LB

I understand both are Submariners, however, they are two very differnt watches. Interested to hear fellow forum members opinions on which they would choose and the reasons why.

For me, the LV's bezel and dial are absolutely stunning. The way it changes tone on the type of lighting is truly amazing. The brushed centre links is also great as this is a sport/professional watch, hides scratches better than polished links.

The LB's dial is equally stunning, especially now that Rolex has changed it to the sunburst dial. The blue is captivating and you can just stare at it all day (did so for a while at the AD yesterday while my BLNR was getting sized). The LB's blue dial, bezel and TT bracelet is in my opinion, classic, iconic Rolex. Arguably on par with the TT Datejust on a Jubilee bracelet with the fluted bezel.

Anyways, that is my two cents worth on these two watches. At mentioned above, it will be sometime before I purchase my next Rolex. In the meantime, would appreciate any comments you may have.

Thanks for your time.

Blue dial Sub.

116610 LV for me.

ahafs1 · 19 June 2014, 06:01 AM

LV for me

Jack T · 19 June 2014, 06:06 AM

Neither one is a must have for me, forced to choose? The LV.

Glidelock · 19 June 2014, 06:08 AM

LV...no doubt about it!

thomaspp · 19 June 2014, 06:10 AM

116613 LB - not a fan of the green

brettpaul · 19 June 2014, 06:18 AM

Congrats on the BLNR! Why not try the 16610LV as an option?

Racerdj · 19 June 2014, 06:18 AM

How about this one?

SaddleSC · 19 June 2014, 06:41 AM

LVC for me! If you want blue, go for the 116619LB

watchwatcher · 19 June 2014, 06:56 AM

Blue all the way.

AK797 · 19 June 2014, 06:58 AM

After they put the sunburst on the TT that is the one for me. Also you have an SS watch.

Keith1 · 19 June 2014, 07:34 AM

116613 LB, or better yet 116618 LB solid 18k yellow gold blue Submariner!

superdog · 19 June 2014, 07:41 AM

Lb. I think. Tough. But lb.

opaline460 · 19 June 2014, 07:57 AM

116613 for me

FTX I · 19 June 2014, 08:00 AM

In this case LV.

Trouble15 · 19 June 2014, 08:01 AM

Both beautiful, hard choice. I love LV, but I'm biased.

Caribbeanliving · 19 June 2014, 09:20 AM

LV would be a great addition

Rolextraderflorida · 19 June 2014, 09:23 AM

Lv

Brucie D · 19 June 2014, 09:31 AM

I will vote for the LB. I have the BLNR and I think if I got another professional Rolex it would have to be two-tone.

LB. Blue and the sub are a perfect combo.

Can't argue that logic. I have two TT Datejusts, but no TT sport watches. The change to the LB dial really makes it difficult to decide.

I have the the BLNR and LVc but the LB would be nice too. Tough choiceImageUploadedByTapatalk1403140221.383064.jpg

rg9390 · 19 June 2014, 11:23 AM

Tough choice. I am bias, as I got the 50th LV and I like the green. It's the only Rolex you can get so much green.

I think on the reverse, thinking if I should get a BLNR or go something beyond Rolex, like AP... If it was a Rolex, definitely the BLNR for me... But that's off topic...

Very nice. Here's a picture of one on my wrist while I was at the AD yesterday. It almost changed my mind from getting the BLNR. Almost.

Hairdude1 · 19 June 2014, 02:23 PM

I say LV also

watchfun2 · 19 June 2014, 02:30 PM

I pick LV.
To me, it is special and its dial is 'magical' that changes its color tone with different light intensity.
