Can you guys help me out?
I am buying one of these brand new in the next 2 or 2 weeks.
Which should it be? I am leaning towards the green ceramic as I see possible price appreciation greater than the black one. But of course I know I should buy the one that I like better. The problem is I don't know which one I like better. They are both great pieces. Price is not a consideration since I am getting a good price on both, and the difference is only a few hundred dollars.

Thanks for helping me out.

sorry forgot the LV vs LN (forgot the L) :)

Neither are going to appreciate any time soon....and for a few hundred bucks, is it worth buying one over another based on resale???

Get the one you find most appealing, you won't be disappointed as they are both a great choice!!

Good point Josh.......

However, resale versa comparison between the two is negligible. I can't see either busting the index anytime soon!

Love the classic look of the LV! Very nice Eddie...

Get which one you like the most ! with the ceramics i prefer the LN over the LV, but that's just my opinion

OpusX · 3 September 2011, 09:51 AM

easy for you guys to say :)
the problem is I don't know which one I like better.
I guess I'll have to just keep thinking about it, since I have a little time.

Black, though my viewpoint is somewhat biased.

I just bought an 16610 LV from an AD New In Box for $5100 which was the old retail. I as told they don't increase price on discontinued models. I was there to look at the new Sub C but at 8k and no liking those lugs. I snatched up the LV FAST....

I"m looking for another one at that price!....

nauticajoe · 3 September 2011, 10:27 AM

You can't go wrong with either one. I guess it depends if this will be your daily watch or whether it will be in rotation with others. If the former, I'd lean more towards the LN, since black goes with any wardrobe.

Good luck! Don't forget to post some wrist shots.

Morning Eddie!

OpusX · 3 September 2011, 12:03 PM

I am really stuck now. First I love the green, then I love the black, back and forth.
And no, can't afford both

timeisfathaoftruth · 3 September 2011, 02:16 PM

If you like them both the same then I would either get the LV because your next Rolex will most likely have a black dial; unless of course you believe that you will only have one Rolex, then I would get the LN......

but if you stay on this forum, my guess is that no matter what you think about having only one Rolex, you will, in the not too far future, get a second; therefore I would get the LV.

Good luck on your choice.....either way you win!!
