Wow...

I'm proud to admit that I'm a 116610LV convert. It has been on my wrist for less than 12 hours, and I'm loving it. Agree on the minty green ceramic bezel under certain light conditions but the green dial is to die for IMO.
Give it some more time :-)

i am really suprised at how close this voting is - i voted for the LV-C but over the long term i think the LV is an increase-in-value play. however, the upgrades of the LV-C just cant be ignored and make it a better all around watch.

I love them both, can only afford one.
are you going to wear the LV around or keep untouched?

if wear around youll be disappointed going back and forth from GMTC to org. LV (esp. the bracelet quality difference)

i would only get the org. LV for safe keeping and to leave BNIB.

actually - this was what i thought the first moment after sticking my nose on the Rolex Bsealworld 2010 dispaly window looking at the 116610LN and 116610LV

my initial thought of the 116610LV was - meh... too much green for my liking and didnt realise at the time that the smarty Rolex designers was able to create a green gold dial which is able to "hide" the green colour in almost all low light conditions, which will give you an almost black looking dial.... and believe me, a few times i thought i had the 16610LV on due to the green bezel insert and the black looking dial on the 116610LV at a quick glance.

overdone was my initial thought - not now.... but ugly - NO.

imo - the 116610LV is a great addition to the 16610LV

I would say get the 16610lv. The other one is just too green. I wish you could get a black sub C with a green insert.
