Which one do you prefer in terms of color combination ? this thread isn't to talk about the ceramic bezel, only color combo

Speed · 10 May 2010, 10:11 AM

The new green dial is a just a bit too much for me.

I don't think the new LV is versatile at all.

So I like the old.

Me too, but I'd really like to see the solid gold green dial up close and personal.

As far as I know, Rolex makes only one watch DIAL with a solid precious metal - the SS/Pt. YM which is fitted with a 950 grade solid Platinum dial. Now a green gold dial would be a welcome change.

Always thought it was too much green, however, I looked down at my LV this weekend, and the light was shining on the face in a way that made it look green - Kinda liked it!

andrew79 · 10 May 2010, 10:17 AM

I will be more likely to love green ceramic bezel... but after I got my current LV, it is just the green I need, it attracted attention already .... having the dial become green is amazing.... but it's too green for my taste.

sakuraba · 10 May 2010, 10:29 AM

the current LV has just the right amount of green.

X2! Agreed, just enough green for a nicely balanced look.

three crowns....

nauticajoe · 10 May 2010, 11:05 AM

I prefer the old style. The new just has a bit too much green for me.

Traveler · 10 May 2010, 11:14 AM

I will reserve final judgement until I see the new model in person..but from the pictures I have seen, I like the current model better.

superb · 10 May 2010, 11:30 AM

Current sub LV for me.

andrew79 · 10 May 2010, 11:47 AM

keep on going.... :)

JUSTROLEXES · 10 May 2010, 11:54 AM

I'm sure I will love the New one But voted for the current knowing that i can always get the newer one in the future but the current is running out

andrew79 · 10 May 2010, 12:23 PM

yup, the green gold intrigued me as well... the only thing is.... it must be an attention grabber in the public....

Eric89 · 10 May 2010, 12:35 PM

Green is my favortie color and while I like to look at the new watch in the display case, I think that is as far as it will go. I think its a neat look but wouldnt want to own one, so I say current LV as far as ownership potential goes.

Dr. Robert · 10 May 2010, 12:38 PM

The new one's got a lot of green.

ersnyder · 10 May 2010, 12:42 PM

Of course I'll have to reserve final judgment until I actually slip one onto my wrist but I think I'm gonna like the new one!

Seventh Son · 10 May 2010, 01:18 PM

I love the green dial LV. New is better for me. Would dash for one when it reaches my AD.

Watch Fan · 10 May 2010, 01:57 PM

I just bought a current LV and love it. I guess that answers the question.

Kanger · 10 May 2010, 02:29 PM

I think we know who won haha.

Singslinger · 10 May 2010, 03:54 PM

Difficult to say conclusively by just looking at pix...but I like the new LV, mainly because I'm a fan of ceramic bezels. I think they simply look better.

andrew79 · 10 May 2010, 04:11 PM

agree, i fall in love with the ceramic bezel too... :)

jrpb · 10 May 2010, 04:16 PM

without seeing one in person its hard to say but by just going on the pics id have to say the current one, however as most of you will know the more you look at the pictures the more you start loving lol so get the pics up and start the love affair

Cru Jones · 10 May 2010, 07:19 PM

Green on green is too much, IMHO (without mentioning the green bezel, LOL)....

The green gold dial, though, looks pretty good.....I'm hoping the Basel 2010 pre-show at the Rolex store in Paris next week will have a production-ready Hulk to check out.

Sealion · 10 May 2010, 07:48 PM

Current sub LV.Can have a choice of black bezel insert too.

Sub'erman · 10 May 2010, 07:52 PM

I'll have to see the new LV UCAP, but think it is the right one for me...

Puffy · 10 May 2010, 10:23 PM

Would need to see Kermit close up, but it does look very very green for my liking... never know what it might feel like on the wrist

Firebison · 10 May 2010, 11:01 PM

After looking at some You-tube videos, it's hard to tell what the shade of green will actually look like in natural light. On You-tube, it actually looks more like a slate green than in other pictures. In either case, I very much like it and am holding off on buying my first Rolex until I can see it in person.

Arrgo · 11 May 2010, 12:15 AM

No contest! the new LV has the bloated supercase that just looks out of proportion with the bracelet, and the green colour of the bezel reminds one of something you might cough up while having a very bad cold.....I'll happily stick with the original thanks!
