Hi Gents,

As the title says I’ve got the choice of both the above and I can not decide which to purchase!

What are your thoughts?

Thus far I’m attracted to the LV Hulk.

Cheers

Lion · 8 February 2012, 02:22 AM

Either choice would be a keeper in my book.....good luck with your choice!!!

dddrees · 8 February 2012, 02:30 AM

Whichever one you like the most.

For me I would choose the 116610LN, I dont like the green dial.

imono · 8 February 2012, 02:35 AM

The Black will look good in most attire.
If you have a green tie then the LV will be a perfect match!

tkerrmd · 8 February 2012, 02:42 AM

if you dont have a Rolex with a black dial I would go with that first.

If that don't bother you then, LV for sure

I have owned both and I would give the LV my highest recommendation. I have found it to be 99% as versatile as the LN, but it just has that little extra pop that differentiates it from every other black-dialed diver's watch on the planet.

GO FOR THE HULK!

Totally Agree +1

superdog · 8 February 2012, 03:17 AM

i had both. eventually sold the LV. while absolutely beautiful, i think the allure wore off when i got bored of the green. it got to a point where i simply couldn't wear it because i found it annoying.

my LN is my daily wear. it is classic and classy, but IMO also flies under the radar and doesn't shout "hey, look at me"

warren G. · 8 February 2012, 03:37 AM

If you're not 100% sure. I'd go with the black dial.

RRGHOST1 · 8 February 2012, 03:41 AM

Green one for me.

MortgageGuy · 8 February 2012, 04:17 AM

Both beautiful. For me I have owned both and still have the LV. I could not justify keeping both the LN and LV for me... Since I have the GMT c and DSSD as well as the EXP 42 black I needed something with a bot more "pop" if you know what I mean.

omardaver · 8 February 2012, 04:45 AM

I bought the LN and in almost 3 weeks, I realised the LV is much better for me. Have you seen it in ral life, looks much better.
Go for the HULK

I sure do. A little bit of this and a little bit of that. Always good to have a bit of variety.

DolphinV8 · 8 February 2012, 04:41 AM

black is always safe.

TSW · 8 February 2012, 05:05 AM

As a one and only watch i'd go black, But in a collection LV or both!!

Zdenek · 8 February 2012, 05:08 AM

The green dial is very nice but the black one is more universal.

BCNJ · 8 February 2012, 05:10 AM

I went LV recently and couldn't be happier

nauticajoe · 8 February 2012, 05:42 AM

Of the two, I'd probably lean more towards the LN.

Good luck!

Time2time · 8 February 2012, 06:01 AM

The LN for sure!

My green tinted GV is, I think, subtle.
But a green dial AND a green bezel? Eccentric I think.

The black will go with anything and just looks classier.

jwcy · 8 February 2012, 05:57 AM

love the HULK but the black dial is more versatile. thx

esm · 8 February 2012, 05:59 AM

You can always get both - just to be on the safe side
