Just got a Green Sub 116610 LV

First impression.... ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.

Never have I seen one in real life. Only the initial pictures. This thing is a BEAUTY! Pictures can never do this watch justice. Next to the white gold smurf sub, this one is my favorite by far.

I did get it, and let me tell you, I cant post these pics I took, because flat out, something about the green that it comes out very conservative in the pictures. But in real life, its a show stopper.

First of all congrats. You are right photos don't do justice to this watch. This watch is amazing in person.

Finally saw one in real life when I visited an AD for the FIRST time to get a link added. I bought my first Rolex, a Datejust II based solely on internet pictures.

the LV is friggin BEAUTIFUL in real life, I don't understand the people who say its "too green" at all. Love it.
