I am probably with the minority here, but the green sub doesnt appeal to me that much. I still go with the black sub, if it is your first sub.

depends: as a one and only watch or rolex or even as an only sport rolex, i would go with the ln just as i had done. if you have any other black face rolex sport watch, go for the lv.

Black. No Question. You will never tire of it. Green, you might after a while.

Black for me, it's a more versatile watch IMHO.

I think the black is classic and will look better with most outfits.

I went GREEN! Purchased mine from Tony G (justrolexes), loved it so much I purchased another one from DavidSW for my younger brother! Can't go wrong either way, however, for me it's not easy being green!

I had an LV and traded it away for a NOS 118239. But it sure was cool while I had it, the green dial in person really need to be seen. Especially in the sun. Personally, I'd still prefer the green over the black but both are winners.

+1...I don't even like the green on the GMTII C. If it had a red hand instead, I'd own one right now.

I love the black, but bght the green is beautiful in it's own way and not on everyone's wrist. I've yet to see another in the wild while I know no less than 30 guys with a black sub of some varity. Go green (or don't and keep us in the minority)!

If you have a pile of watches (including black), get the green. But, if you are talking about buying the watch you'll be wearing most of the time-- get the black.

Don't wanna get flamed for this, but I've seen the green a bunch of times out there....but always on women. Last time was on the train yesterday when I went to pick up my Sea-Dweller, a nice woman in her late 20's making faces at my baby daughter had one on.
