116710 GMT or 116610LV sub?
Which is more desirable to own if you can only afford one a 2014 116710 GMT with the black and blue bezel? Or a 116610LV green submariner? Which is more harder to find in an AD? Thanks

At this time the BLNR is harder to find. They are almost the same price. LVc is less blingy

Well, do you like the extra function of the GMT hand?
If so, that's the one to get. If not, then I'd go with the one that appeals to you more. I'd also try on both; I can't remember if these two watches sit differently on the wrist. All other things being equal, I think the BLNR might be more versatile. I say "might" because they both garner a lot of attention. |

neither rare or hard to get and both great looking watches, the LV has the glide lock clasp if that makes a difference, the GMT has the extra time zone.
can't really loose either way, it really is a personal choice for you |

love the 116710 either ln or blnr as they are both wonderful. As an only watch I wouldn't even consider the 116610lv as the green very well may be just too much to go with everything IMO

Do you really like green Do you need a second time zone Do you need something flexible in many conditions Do you like pcls or brushed LVC is a smidgen thicker and heavier, but unnoticeably so, imo Both are attention magnets. etc etc The BLNR is a bit harder to find in some areas and it being relatively new it usually sells at retail. As such if both are eventually coming in then I say to actually do the opposite of the above as the BLNR is A- likely harder to find in some areas(maybe yours) and B- you will likely not get a discount, or not that much. While the Hulk can be sourced easier and found at lower prices, particularly here. Then next year when the hype for the BLNR has resided, you can get one at a possibly lower price and easier to find. If either will do, the Hulk has the advantage imo. Still confused, play paper rock scissors with the AD salesperson. You'll know which if you say "yes" in your brain at the winner. |

Both are great watch. You can’t go wrong with either.
