You and I both. I have absolutely no use for a green colored watch.

Strangely, I've never liked the black Sub enough to want to buy one. But the green one is getting very interesting. That would be my choice if I had to have a SS Submariner.

watchstuff · 12 October 2012, 02:54 AM

Agree, get the black one for work, green for weekend!

stevedssd · 12 October 2012, 05:34 AM

I love my HUlk, it's great as part of a collection but I wouldn't have it as my one and only. I've not seen an LVc in the wild but they are hardly rare in AD's.

For anyone looking in London, I saw a Hulk, DSSD and SS GMT all in the tiny window of WOS at The Exchange in the City today.

Gharddog03 · 12 October 2012, 05:39 AM

Black.

wantonebad · 12 October 2012, 06:20 AM

Neither

RRGHOST1 · 12 October 2012, 07:09 AM

The Green would be my choice as its a little bit more noticeable than the black,i like it,and more unusual too.

darkside7 · 12 October 2012, 07:33 AM

Go with the black.

SPACE-DWELLER · 12 October 2012, 07:55 AM

The green dial Sub Date is a mighty fine and beautiful Rolex but in the long run I think you'd appreciate the more classic look of the black dial Sub Date...

Darmapow · 12 October 2012, 08:06 AM

For me it was always going to be black.. but one day a blue may well arrive.

gwalker · 12 October 2012, 09:14 AM

If ur only nice watch simple. Black. It's more versatile and to most future watch owners the black would prob be easier to sell. If you have a few watches that cover the bass get the LV. I've seen some LVs in the wild that really clash with some attire.

Transient · 12 October 2012, 10:41 AM

I like both the black and the green but I would probably go the black as it is more classic. I prefer the 16610LV over the hulk actually, green and black, looks more subtle....

john333 · 12 October 2012, 10:56 AM

This one...easy decision for me.

rollerball · 12 October 2012, 03:17 PM

My suggestion is to go to an Chinese Feng Shui master for advise. Depends on one's life green may be more suitable than black and vice versa.

I prefer black actually.

Psmith · 12 October 2012, 03:47 PM

I'm not a fan of green, so black for me

smartson · 12 October 2012, 05:19 PM

Green is the new Black, go for it.

al_bongo · 12 October 2012, 05:35 PM

Since you ask I'd get the black. I wouldn't get the green because I don't like it.

The LN is in higher demand I would wager in terms of numbers sold. On the other hand the green will be made in smaller numbers and could be more difficult to locate. For resale purposes? More of a market for the black I would say. Who knows though whether the green will carry a premium a few years down the line?

Bangel · 12 October 2012, 06:16 PM

Black for my wrist for its classic, understated appearance.

Even though the green looks great I'd get the black.

I'm sorry but I never took a liking to the green sub so black for me.

bayerische · 12 October 2012, 08:13 PM

Green all the way.

Art 1 · 12 October 2012, 08:13 PM

Green Sub.

gearguywb · 12 October 2012, 08:50 PM

Black is timeless.....but then I saw the Hulk...it is on my Christmas wish list :)

Atomant · 12 October 2012, 10:37 PM

I would get the LV but I know me. I would end up having both.

kriskros · 12 October 2012, 10:55 PM

hulk for me...

brkanand · 12 October 2012, 10:56 PM

A bit too late to ask me. Yesterday I got my 116610 lv.

never2late · 12 October 2012, 10:57 PM

Eventually, I got both . . . gave my Son the Black one and as you can see, I've got the Green.

DJJon · 12 October 2012, 11:02 PM

The black dial Submariner is a classic Rolex and the one that all others emulate.

The green Hulk is for the collector who has several other Rolexes in his collection, or a guy who just falls in love with it at first sight. It is impressive in its own right but will clash with some attire. Great conversation starter I imagine.

Go Black and don't look back !
