If you could only keep one... 116500 or 16610LV

Title says it all... which one stays? I only need one and want honest opinions.

Daytona in a second. It's in a different league.

Both are lovely though.

I have those exact 2.

If me, no question I'd keep the LV.

I've worn my LV for the past 10 years almost daily, it just gets better as it gets older.

Daytona and without second thought.

I know there is a lot of love here for the Kermit. If I could only keep one though, it be the Daytona.

Daytona,
The Kermit is nothing more then a green Sub.
The Daytona is, well, a Daytona!

I’ve had both exactly the same. The Daytona for me. Both are great, but the Daytona has that wow factor the Kermit does not for me.

I do love the LV but I’d have to choose Daytona.

Sub all day long , Daytona is ok but doesn't really do it for me which is why I probably don't own one .

If you can afford to keep both, throw the LV in a drawer, safe, bank, whatever, and forget about it for awhile. Wear the snot out of the Daytona.

Own and love both but it would be the Daytona that stays if push came to shove. My only watch I’d choose over it would be my 126710 BLRO.
