Current Sub LV over BLNR.

It's my favorite of the three Sub LV versions. Perfection

It just so happens that I have both in my collection. If I had to pick one it would be Batman, of course. Why? For the whole: more precise movement, second GMT time, thinner bracelet with a smaller and more comfortable clasp, bezel with better cut teeth. Even the polished middle links fit this model perfectly.

Both are on my list and I would take either if offered. However, if I had to choose, it would be the LV without a doubt.

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

I went back and fourth on this choice as well….

After handling both in person I went with BLNR because it’s more versatile and the GMT complication is more useful IMO.



With that said, I may pick up an LV in the future.

BLNR for me.
I’ve had mine for four years.

Subtle differences:

It sits a bit lower on n the wrist than a Sub.
Bracelet is way smaller and lighter then new Sub’s one and Easylink works a treat without even having to look while adjusting it.
Two way rotation of the bezel makes it quick to use to time things.
Blue rules over green for me !

126610LV for me, since i got the GMT covered with my Sky. Also I think you need something green for Rolex.

BLNR.

The GMT functionality for me makes it a more usable watch… but to each their own.

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