I wouldn't want to influence your decision at all;



It's a personal choice that only you can decide..



I'm not fond of the pepsi bezel, but I do like the Red/Black, still....it's your choice alone to make;



Good luck

Before you decide; try to see a new ceramic bezel GMT. I'm a little partial as I recently bought a 116710 (new GMT).

It's a beauty and definately worth seeing!!!!

Take you time. Immerse yourself in this forum, look at the pics, read the comments, ask questions.

Welcome to the greatest Rolex forum and good luck!!

The Black Sub is a beauty. Then there's the Blue TT Sub - which you didn't mention - so they probably were out of stock. Because they are popular I guess.

Seriously though, good luck - you can't go wrong with any of them in my book!

I like the blue TT sub and the green bezel LV sub...those two catch the eyes.

I agree. The TT Blue Sub is sometimes hard to find. My AD says when they get one in it is almost always the first Rolex to sell from thier recent shipment.

I would go with the Green Sub. Its rarer. Its got the Maxi Dial. Its a unique watch that you won't see many of out in the real world. That would be my choice.

I vote for the LV Sub.

I just love mine. It has replaced my Speedmaster as my every day watch. I constantly catch myself absentmindedly admiring it.

Barring the LV, I would vote for the new TT GMT II. That watch is just stunning in person.

I like the LV sub as well. It's just very noticeable and may not be the best choice for your only watch. The green bezel clashes with many other colors. The TT blue sub is a classic, but the same holds true.

My choice would be a black sub, sub-date, SD, or GMT.

I agree with that. My TT Blue dial YM is gorgeous! Probably my favorite Rolex in my humble collection.
