I am curious about thoughts, intentions and actions from 16610 LV owners - wanted to make it a poll but did not know how :-)

16610LV Owners - Since the introduction of the 116610 LV (Ceramic), have you done any of the following (or decided to do any of the following):

A) Keep the 16610LV and decide NOT to get the new one?
B) Sell/trade the 16610LV and get the new one?
C) Get both? (or decide you will eventually end up with both at some point)
D) Upgraded, then sold the Ceramic again?
E) Any other combination?

I'll start: C!

I have the old one, will get new soon. I hope I am able to enjoy/use 2 green watches as I am crazy about both of them

Lets hear what your plans are or what you already did!

C for me also.

Reason - green is my favourite colour.

F. I decided to get the old one, because I didn't like the new one as much.

Funny you mentioned that. It actually is quite an expensive favourite colour for my watch journey.

My 2nd and 3rd fave colour themed watches is another story :lol;

petesjag · 22 October 2011, 07:55 AM

I went the B route...the old model just didnt sing to me enough, and i thought that the maxi markers on the dial were a bit to prominent for the size of the overall watch...
I love my new LVc and am glad i made the décision to sell and not keep just because it may be a collectors item...or already is.....

G. At this point, I don't have either one. I'm not sure that there is one on the furture.

Thanks all - interesting spread of responses!

Lunette Verte · 22 October 2011, 05:49 PM

It was difficult for me to make a choice until I tried them on. For whatever reason the "old" LV stood out to me and I just knew I had to have one. I just got it today and have no intention of selling it, it is my first Rolex and I have to think it will always be a favorite. Long answer short, I vote A

A all day. Actually on the hunt for another Kermit - the elusive "Y."

Went with the old and love it.May consider the new as well.

nch209 · 22 October 2011, 06:19 PM

H. I had two 16610lvs in the past, and am close to getting a 116610lv... I am a flipper and unless a watch has sentimental value, its usually on the chopping block in a matter of time!!!

Andad · 22 October 2011, 06:22 PM

A. I'll stick with my mate Kermit. I am not excited by the green dial.

I think the green dial is OK, but the old LV's green bezel trumps the new milky green one in my opinion...

nice pic

i have the old one.
to me they are completely different, apples and oranges if you will.

i haven't warmed up to the "C" yet.

the original is the end of an era and i really bonded with it

Yeager · 22 October 2011, 07:28 PM

Don't like green dial
Don't like milky green ceramic
Don't like how shiny ceramic is.
Maxi dial looks cooler on the smaller watch.

steubi1 · 22 October 2011, 07:58 PM

B).

I was close to D), but finally decided to keep the new because it is a perfect watch (but I still don't like the proportions and the new case).

Zed82 · 22 October 2011, 08:00 PM

Green ceramic bezel with a green dial looks cheap and a bit juvenile to me. 16610LV all the way.

The only sportmodel that sings to me of the new ones is the GMT-C. Might be adding one of those in a near future.

magnet_UK · 22 October 2011, 08:59 PM

A)

I've tried the new one on once and it didn't instantly wow me. I didn't like the dial colour which was too green and much prefer the bezel colour on the older model. I do like the larger case size and obviously the bracelet and clasp are a huge improvement on the new one.

So i won't be swapping or adding one

richarda · 22 October 2011, 09:08 PM

A for me. The new one is too much green. However I did buy an LN.

The new Green ceramic just doesn't do anything for me at all unfortunately. On the other hand, the old one rocks and you can change the bezel from green to black and back again...
