Icon7 Pic request - 116618LB or 116618LN - help a dad out

I've recently discovered that my father secretly dreams of a yellow gold Submariner.

Being a good son, I'd like to show him some amazing pics of the blue and black options. ;-)

So, TRF, care to share your favorite pictures of the 116618LB or 116618LN?

Very nice, Mike, thanks! I was hoping you'd contribute. Any additional shots are appreciated.

Very true! He lives on a different continent, but I'll be visiting this summer. Just need to keep the momentum going until then.

Early on, the LB is leading the pack. Any LNs out there? Or does the sunburst blue and YG just go too well together?

I started off more liking the LN but when I finally tried the blue on it was game over for me. Plus you can match it with shirts and cufflinks without looking too Darth Vader. On a serious point because the blue is so striking it lessens the YG aspect of it, which I also like.

The LN looks great, but the blue would top this poll

No one has the ln comparatively. That said you can save a butt load over the lb.

Man I'm about out of breath here ....
Just Drop Dead Gorgeous guys .... Thr LB tops it
for me but the LN is stunning as well .... I wish
The LN had gold font on the dial , it'd be pure
ecstasy.... The white font writing kind of washes out the
dial a bit...IMHO
I still would choose the LB though ... Go Blue!!!!

Beautiful watch! What type of lift is that? Looks like a really nice garage...

Also a great fishing watch (something to stare at when the fish aren't biting)
