Certainly BLNR on Oyster gets my vote.

I don't think i could chose given both options. Love both. Good thing ill prolly never have to decide since I probably couldn't get both pieces from an AD lol and would never buy both grey and pay all that extra premium.

Tough choice. But my vote is the LV, love the glidelock and the contrast between the black dual and green bezel has really grown on me. I was not a fan when it was released in Sept.

Still not sure I love the thicker bracelet though -

don’t sleep on the 41mm Subs. The AR coating and subtle dimension changes really make the dial “pop”.

BLNR but just due to the looks - I've never timed more than 1 thing at once so the bezel on the sub is better for me, just don't like the color combo - much prefer YG with green

126610LV - don’t have a diver watch yet and waiting for it to arrive.

Wouldn’t mind getting a BLRO or BLNR on oyster but they are not as critical as I don’t need a GMT watch specifically at this time, and would just like to add one to my collection.

Slight edge to the BLNR... Hulk over BLNR though

BLNR on jubilee for me. I like the looks, and it’s my favorite of the current GMT’s. Not crazy about the green Subs.

This. I don’t like the appearance of the GMT, to me, it looks like the bezel is too wide, and the watch too top heavy. I am probably not explaining it well but the sub (IMHO) really got the ratio of bezel-dial-lugs just perfect.

I was given the choice for the LV first as the BLNR + Jubilee is a little harder to get. I stood my ground and got the BLNR and now waiting for the LV. I vote BLNR.

I have both and the BLNR is easier to match with my outfits so BNLR for me. But if you are not into matching clothes with watches, the LV is great as well. You can’t go wrong with either one.

BLNR by a mile. The LV sub is nice but the BLNR is stellar.
