Would like a SubC in my life...but which to go for?

To all the wonderful enablers.
I would like to add a SubC to the collection, but I keep bouncing between 4 of them:
1.SubC
2.SubC Date
3.TT Blue Sunburst Dial
4. SubC LV

I'm leaning toward the 114060 this week.
I do like the LV as when down by your side, the dial can look black until you swing it up for a glance. But my wife hates it, which is wrongly or rightly, swaying me away from it.
The TT is beautiful in the AD lighting and is alluring, but is it too flashy?
(Personal opinion I know, but my DJII blue dial is about as flashy as I'd want)
And the reason the SubC date is in there is because I like the cyclops.

Would really love to see what some of you would, and have gone for with a similar (or maybe same) collection.
The DJII is the blue dial but looks black in the pic, sorry.

The SubC 114060 in my opinion the most beautiful of the modern subs.

Lunette Bleu aka Bluesy

116613LB gets my vote as I've looked at all subs !!!
The thing I asked myself is which one will I not
get bored of quickly and will continue to thrill me and
intrigue me every time I wear it !!! The Bleu Sunburst
dial is an absolute masterpiece at least to me ...
All the different shades of blue and purple in the different
light are just mesmerizing... Consequently I don't think
it's too flashy ... It's quite versatile and beautiful at the
same time...

114060, the sub date is too similar to your BLNR IMO

Personally I'm not a fan of mens TT and would opt for the LV (out of colour diversity). However, if your wife is not so keen the ND seems the best option!

The LV feels much less bold on the wrist compared to pictures. It's actually quite versatile and just a really cool watch. It adds so much depth to the sub with the changing variations of green

Looking at your collection I think you need some gold. TT Sub for sure.

Hulk. That thing is amazing in person. The dial changes color depending on the lighting... I've seen it look nice and green or almost black.
