Hi All

Between the Black Sub Date & the Green Bezel Cermit/Starbucks, which one would you go for & why?

JayHantz · 21 May 2022, 10:54 PM

Hey Jonathan (great name) -

If it was a single watch, I would go for the Sub Date LN. If it was part of a collection, I would go for the LV.

rod727 · 21 May 2022, 10:55 PM

I prefer the utilitarian nature of the LN….black goes with everything

Onequik135i · 21 May 2022, 11:14 PM

I chose the LN, seems to go w everything when I wear it.

Haha, same here!

Going to look at them both in the metal tomorrow.

This. However, if you have a few others and they are all non-black dials or have a coloured bezel, then an LN is appropriate. Good luck!

S7gpt · 22 May 2022, 06:49 AM

LN every time, to be honest I never gave the green a second look until I understood the re sale value

JSolution · 22 May 2022, 06:56 AM

No appeal for a Green bezel, or dial for that matter to me. Each to their own though I tend to stick to monochrome largely. I like to dress to match my watch and Green just fit anywhere for me.

JPS · 22 May 2022, 05:35 PM

I understand the all black works in the most settings.

MrMercedes · 22 May 2022, 05:47 PM

LV for me!

harvey · 22 May 2022, 06:09 PM

…I’ve tried both of these on and the LN variant looked ‘better’. (this is coming from someone who has both the kermit and hulk).

Absolutely.

But as part of my collection, the Hulk fits better.

Exact same

Roddypeepa · 22 May 2022, 09:08 PM

If it was a small collection I’d go LN but if it’s larger (say 5 or so plus) then I’d go lv. But I can’t afford any more atm so

I think the 126610LV is a handsome watch. It is a logical and successful update of the original 16610LV. I would own one if the 116610LV didn't exist.

Too much green for some. Not for me.

travisb · 22 May 2022, 09:21 PM

LV. I love the addition of a little color. Makes it more interesting to me and no problem wearing it with any and everything.

taitun4life · 22 May 2022, 09:27 PM

I already have the Hulk so had to to go black here…

Benzsiam · 22 May 2022, 10:33 PM

Love them all, I have Sub, Sub date LN, the Hulk and the Kermit II.

Tensai · 22 May 2022, 10:58 PM

Tough call.
Sub Date is great, but everyone has one.
The LV 12 series is not as good as Hulk.

Turbo Racer · 23 May 2022, 12:15 AM

Both great watches. I would go with whichever speaks to you more. For me it’s the green.

Agreed! I love both, but, I like the bit of color, as 99% of subs I see in the wild are black dials/bezel. Also Agee with the thought of ….if only one watch to wear, I’d go LN. I have been wearing my LV 5/6 times a week lately, it goes great with my simple/casual attire. Jeans and t-shirts.

subtona · 23 May 2022, 12:40 AM

No date
