So I was browsing subs with my 4-year old, and we came across the 116610lv. He loved it and said, "Daddy, buy that one for me!" He's seen it in an AD before and they were even kind enough to let HIM try it on. Apparently, he didn't forget, and still loves it. Then I showed him the 50th Annivesary 16610LV. He told me he didn't like it because "the black there" pointing at the dial. It was good for a laugh because apparently he already knows what he likes in a watch. So it got me thinking, and I did a little research. The only poll I could find was from 2011. So let's have a 2016 poll. 116610LVc or 16610LV?

16610lv

Rolex Freak · 1 April 2016, 12:40 PM

This one.

JP Chestnut · 1 April 2016, 12:41 PM

Five digit is always the correct answer.

In this case old school wins

droptopman · 1 April 2016, 12:56 PM

5 digits for me.

Chadridv · 1 April 2016, 01:03 PM

I'm with the kid! I never warmed up to the clash of green and black. LVC for me :)

jakerusty · 1 April 2016, 01:08 PM

16610LV for me.

DJ TT 2002 · 1 April 2016, 01:10 PM

116610LV for me!!!
Love the way the dial changes in different lighting situations.

morgman · 1 April 2016, 01:11 PM

Original 2003 LV with the olive green bezel, OR the late ones with the dark forest green bezel, OR the LVC :-) I'd skip the middle year 5-digit ones.

Roll the Lex · 1 April 2016, 01:12 PM

I feel that the LV is more valuable and more of historic timepiece.

But I just like the LVC better

Daytona88 · 1 April 2016, 01:16 PM

I prefer the Kermit

Andrés G · 1 April 2016, 01:28 PM

The incredible Hulk.

Correct. I add that flat 4 mkI is a touch of classic.
Otherwise LVc is glorious especially under the sun.

sea-dweller · 1 April 2016, 02:06 PM

I like the Hulk!

Investr · 1 April 2016, 02:17 PM

the 50 Anniv was my first Rolex. I stared a hole through it for a year, then found TRF and became a watch swapping swinger with no watch loyalty at all. I was always looking for the next piece. Anyhow, iVe had both and the Hulk is more striking but the 16610LV is a classic....

bbressler · 1 April 2016, 03:14 PM

Tough to beat the mix of maxi dial with old school case for me. 16610LV +1

KeithP · 1 April 2016, 03:57 PM

Like them both, prefer the 5 digit. Just enough green.

Love the sunburst dial on the 6 digit, but I think it'd be even better matched with a black bezel.

Rogdogg · 1 April 2016, 04:07 PM

116610LV for me. The dial is amazing and sets it apart.
I do still love the 16610LV however. I could accommodate one very nicely into my collection despite already owning a LVc

VIG · 1 April 2016, 04:14 PM

I just feel like Rolex has nailed it with the ceramic bezel so I've got to go 116610.

hoanghung45 · 1 April 2016, 04:15 PM

Not a big fan of Hulk. LV all the waayyy

timemarcheson · 1 April 2016, 05:34 PM

16610LV - just beautiful

Ste_J · 1 April 2016, 06:14 PM

5 digit has the classic case design yet the maxi dial upgrade which is a plus for me for improved visibility.

Cru Jones · 1 April 2016, 06:30 PM

Easily the LVc. Really, no contest.

The dial (

).
The bezel (long-lasting and tough).
The lugs (more sport, more tough, more masculine, more true to the original).
The bracelet (solid).
The clasp (glide lock for the win).
The little updates to the movement (incremental).
