here are mine. love them in equal parts. apologies for the picture quality though..
too lazy to snap a photo. found a group shot of all my watches and just basically cropped the rest out.

as mentioned several times on this forum, i will pick the 116610lv if i am ever forced to make a choice..

In my opinion, the black dial looks the best on any Sub. Black dial + LV gives just the perfect amount of playfulness to me. And newer case proportions are way better, in my opinion.

The shade of green on the 126610LV MK2 is so much nicer than the one on the 116610LV.
16610LV is the king though!

As a previous 16610LV owner I have to say that I like the "Mk2" green of the current 126610LV more than the first version. However, I'm also one of the few who prefer Supercase of the 116610LV but I'm not a fan of the green sunburst dial, so unfortunately Rolex don't make the "perfect" LV as far as I'm concerned!

I had a 126610LV, but it didn't last very long for me. Now I have been using 116610LV for almost a year and I still admire it - I discover new flavors every day.
Like Hulk all the time to me!

Those gemstone greens on the dial are amazing.

I'm all in on green.



Much as I like the look of the 16610LV, the model that started it all, I prefer the more modern and solidly built Tudor take on the green aluminium insert. The price is more attractive too.

116610LV wins for me by a mile. That green sunburst dial is just so stunning!

Both are fantastic. I chose to switch to the 126610LV and never thought twice about it since.

Loved the 11’s dial, but the bezel is an issue for me. Not a very nice shade of green, milky green I think it’s called.

12’s bezel seems much nicer, but it does miss that stunning dial…

Had both and prefer the 126610LV MK2 Bezel by far. Sold the Hulk and never regretted it.
The Hulk is vulgar IMHO.
