I originally wanted the LB. Ended up getting the LN. The LN is more “formal” IMO. The LB is more beautiful. My first YG Rolex was a Green dial GMT. Since I picked up the YG LN, I’ve often thought a better combo was a black dial GMT and the LB. Four years later, I now have the WG GMT and the LB in the collection. I LOVE my LB. It pops more than any Rolex I’ve ever had.

I went with the LN black face as I already had a blue faced 116619. I love the LN, it just suits me.

The all gold Black Sub is stunning!

I own the Bluesy, but the all gold is pretty, pretty awesome.

Tough choice .
Either would look spectacular...
LB would edge it for me but I wouldn’t kick
the LN out of bed either ...

I have owned both and if I go there again it will be the LB. Stunning blue dial and a real standout. Nothing wrong with the black dial as it is a low key as a YG watch can be.

I still think the LB is the best looking watch Rolex makes

It was really a coin toss between the two for me.

I ended up going with LN as it was (slightly) less 'in your face' than the blue

You already have a black dial, so go with the blue. Absolutely stunning watch

I'm going through the same process ... I've tried them both on, side by side, a bunch of times. I've looked at probably every 116618 picture on TRF. They are both stunning but I'm going LN. Something about the black and yellow gold just sings to me. Also, IMO, the LN will be a more versatile piece ... the LB screams summer.

I own a 116618 and chose blue. Honestly, it was an easy decision.
