I have the LV and the GMTIIC and love them both but if push came to shove and I had to choose between the two the LV would be the keeper. Yes the GMT has the improved bracelet and clasp but the LV is just as comfortable on the wrist and I prefer it's less fussy look. Both a great watches so can't go wrong with either.

My 2 cents are, keep the LV and get yourself a black bezel insert for $65. As someone else pointed out, it gives you flexibility to go back and forth between black and green and IMHO gives you the perfect watch.

i find green bezel on a watch disguisting, therefore it'd be easy choice ;)

vukotab · 11 January 2010, 05:25 AM

Tough!
I like the GMT IIc better, but I would keep LV!

Sub is going to be updated, so it will add some value on (great watch, BTW) LV!

ParisDakarBmw · 11 January 2010, 05:25 AM

send the green down river!

spuds · 11 January 2010, 06:37 AM

Tough call friend.....
personally I'd keep whichever gets the most wrist-time.

x2 Keep both!

I'd keep the GMTIIC, and pick up the most-likely-soon-to-be-announced SS Sub Ceramic in 2011.

Joe(UK) · 11 January 2010, 06:55 AM

you should keep the one you like the most, cos what is the point in selling the one you like, to keep the one you would sell due to a perceived better resale value?

Bullyterrier · 11 January 2010, 07:11 AM

Keep the LV! Get shot of the porcelain.

Well said. Exactly my thoughts...

keep the gmt2 ceramic

MoBowness · 11 January 2010, 09:29 AM

Keep 'em both!

dannyjak · 11 January 2010, 11:31 AM

Sure the LV may be discontinued, but with the 1000's that are out there, and once you take into account the time value of money, the fact that is may be 'rare' wont be worth much anyways.

Keep the one you look at each morning and say 'damn thats good watch'

Or think about it this way, if you woke up and found someone stole your LV but left the GMT, would you think relief or disaster?

(of course it will be disaster in either case still but yuo know what i mean haha)

Keep em both, sell the Ball!! RS

Where did you see those? I can't find them.

keep the GMT II c

jets · 11 January 2010, 03:37 PM

That's a hard choice. Good news is that the GMT is basically a modified sub with an extra complication. LV=Simple, GMT=More distinguished.

I vote GMT. Speaking of which why is this not a poll thread...

Iceman1974 · 11 January 2010, 06:15 PM

Keep the LV...you will regret it if you don't...

Singslinger · 11 January 2010, 06:36 PM

Keep the LV.

M3Piquet · 12 January 2010, 12:27 PM

Kept the LV. Thanks all!
