Compare the green in daylight; VTNR or LV

Is anyone fortunate enough to have both? My AD (gratefully) sold me a VTNR w/oyster, from my wishlist of the VTNR & LV but I’m struggling over the PCL oyster…I think I prefer the Sub LV with brushed links - help me get my head on straight

Have you considered getting a brushed Sub bracelet to put on the VTNR? Jubilee is another option. Or having your current PCL bracelet brushed?
I like both watches but if I had to choose I'd take the LV.

Maybe give it some time? PCLs will grow on you, or the won’t. The did for me. Nice to have a little extra bling sometimes. What else do you have in your collection? Maybe sometime add a polar explorer with brushed center links, or a sub, or?

Jubilee works great on the GMT, had my Pepsi on jubilee for 2 years and it looks like new apart from the clasp itself.

Trade it in towards the SubLV and don’t look back! Or buy the jubilee like others suggested.

If you’re referring to the green bezel, it’s the exact same color

Bezel hue of green is the same. As an ownership comparison, the all brushed bracelet and glidelock clasp of the LVc is significantly easier to care for and hides everyday wear better. It’s always been that way over pcl.

I'm not only not fortunate enough to have both, I don't want both.

I was gutted when the “series N” was discontinued. One of my favorites.

It’s a Rubber B strap - dresses it down a little but on the flip side, it’s an attention grabber. More people ask me about the watch with the Rubber B strap than when I wear it with the original bracelet.

Thanks! That’s a light green not hunter, correct?
