IF you can choose one... 126610LV vs BLNR

IF you have an opportunity to get one of them.. What would you choose?

1. 126610LV
2. BLNR on OYSTER

(I did search this forum but did not see this comparison so just wanted to see what everyone thinks!)

BTW, newbie to this forum.. didnt know how to create poll

Tough choice. The blnr edges it for me.
Which one do YOU prefer?

Can you get them at list price incidentally?

Submariner has the superior bracelet, GMT the superior dial.

Neither. I'd be after either a BLRO or 116610LV. A GMT function is more important to me in daily use but I would be aiming to eventually own both.

LV but if you are asking here neither of those get much love it seems. Everyone just wants a BLRO.

Both are good choice, take the first one that available to you.

I would rank Sub LV, Batman and Pepsi are in the same level but you should pick the one that sings to you.

Of the choices provided I would go with the BLNR as I am not a fan of the Kermit. If the choice was a Hulk then it would be the Hulk then the BLNR. I own both the Hulk and the BLNR on jubilee and they are both great watches so there is really no bad choice, just a choice.

The BLNR because the complication is very useful for me

BLNR for me by a mile. It's my favourite out of my current 5 Rolexes.

I've never liked the way the LV bezel colour can appear quite a milky green in certain lights. IMO the new 126610LV is visually nicer than the 116610LV as I personally disliked the contrast between the vibrant sunburst green of the dial, and the flat green of the bezel.

Search again because many of threads are all about the LVc vs BLNR. It went on endlessly between these two watches 5 years ago. This was also when no one wanted a LVc (Hulk). These epic thread battles were as common as “Omega vs Rolex”. It was so one-sided at a point with people hating the LVC and adoring the BLNR.

Definitely the LV.

Now, versus the BLRO, much more difficult question.

I’ll admit that the LV has grown on me over time (as I used to strongly dislike it). That said, I’d still take the BLNR. But the LV has the better bracelet. I don’t think the green used in the bezel will age well, though.
