Which watch do you like best / will wear the most? That's the one to buy.

Not sure what you are trying to accomplish.

Yikes. I did not realize that Rolex made a Sub-c carved out of a solid block of Osmium. I have heard of heavy watches, but 454 grams?? That's just insane. It would occur to me you would have a hard time remaining level while diving though, your left side would tend to drift downward. Cute idea to name it the 'Pound', however, (LB). I'm betting it will be popular among the bodybuilders out there.

I'm sorry for my poor attempt at humor. The true suffix of the watch is LV, which stands for 'Lunette Verte", (Green Bezel), not LB, which in English stands for 'Pound', as in weight; 16 ounces, 454 grams. It was a poor joke at best. No, neither the LN nor the LV Sub-c is that heavy, they each weigh about 150 grams.

Think about which version you'd be happy wearing for years. For me, it would definitely be the black. No way could I do the green!

The decision is yours.

Curbside opinion? Black.
That being said, have you tried both on? One of them will push more buttons than the other once you've had them on your wrist.
