Please chime in and help me out....I have the 114060 as my 'go anywhere' watch. While I do love its simplicity, I do find myself looking for the date. And while I do appreciate the symmetry of the dial, I can't help but feel that the cyclops (while polarizing as evidenced here on the forum) is a Rolex signature that sort of sets it apart from all the other look alike divers.
I've come to terms that I will be parting ways with the ND Sub and will be getting a ceramic date sub. But now, which one??? Going with a modern ceramic version but do I go two tone, Hulk or the classic LN??? Going to try them on at an AD today and see which one sings to me but would love some opinions.
Couple of initial thoughts: if I go two-tone, I'm leaning towards black as it's a little more subdued than the bluesy and possibly easier to wear as a daily; liking the LV as of late as it sets itself apart from the sea of black dial subs but will I grow tired of the green over time; LN is as versatile as it gets but dare I say a little 'common' and not as special as the other sub models?

HELP!

Undoubtedly. For the price, the sparkle and pop of that watch is amazing.

"Go anywhere do anything" means classic, black LN. You won't be sorry.

One of the things I like the most about my Sub C date...the cyclops.

If you get a ceramic, I'd go with the TT Blue, without a doubt. But I'd keep the ND as well. The older reference is nice to have.

MickCollins1916 · 12 October 2016, 02:40 AM

I love my hulk, but it wouldn't do for me as a daily. The LN seems like a solid way to go.

OpusXIII · 12 October 2016, 02:40 AM

Prior to getting the two above, I was dead set on getting the black Sub. Everything changed when I actually got to see them in person. While I suspect I will add a black Sub in the very near future (I mean, really, can't go wrong with the black Sub), I do love the Hulk and the Bluesy. The dials are amazing (to me).

Wow...these pics complicate it even more!!!

"Always bet on black" Wesley Snipes...

I went with the LN, and I have zero regrets. I live near Chicago, and I don't see them nearly as often as people claim to on TRF.

Enjoy!

I hear you...the only sub I have seen in the wild is a new model 2 tome with black dial.

AK797 · 12 October 2016, 02:57 AM

I had a black subc first but then wanted to try other less conventional models and I think you are in a similar boat so try them all on and see which sings loudest to you.

Ruud Van Driver · 12 October 2016, 03:00 AM

I'd go LVc. I love mine and that dial is mesmerising. I really like the dial of the TT blue too but I personally am not a fan of TT.

Good luck choosing

PatrickJ · 12 October 2016, 03:02 AM

Black LN

traf · 12 October 2016, 03:28 AM

Get the LN first. Then you can be more colorful.

Whole heartedly agree!

Get the LN first. I've tried on the LN, LV, and Smurf. I have to say that the LV does show different colors depending on the lighting. However, it didn't do anything for me. I felt the LN was just so classy looking. I feel if you golfed all day or wore polos 24/7 then the LV would look good. If you want to suit up IMHO I feel it would look out of place. But cheers to whatever you choose!

LN....but personally i'd keep the 114060

Malibuboy · 12 October 2016, 04:08 AM

The LN is the basic modern classic, in my opinion.

You · 12 October 2016, 04:10 AM

Bluesy, you will love it.

Hodog16 · 12 October 2016, 04:58 AM

Man that's tough. I think if you go black then look at the Sea Dweller instead. Out of the ones you mention I would go 116610LV for sure.

Hope one of them sings to you today!

Cru Jones · 12 October 2016, 06:12 AM

Many other great black dial watches. Only one LVc.

Zilla99 · 12 October 2016, 06:14 AM

I'd keep the 114060 and add on the Hulk if possible. This is actually my plan, as I love the ND Sub, but want the hulk for a solid rotation.

watchwatcher · 12 October 2016, 06:21 AM

They're all winners. But, if picking one, it would be the bluesy for me...followed closely by the LVc. Love the sunburst dials.

Steve36Efc · 12 October 2016, 06:27 AM

Tough call. I've always said if I was going to have 1 it would be the 114060, but since you are wanting the Cyclopes I'd say LVC.

I would have to agree with my good friend here.

Currently own the 114060 and love it and have owned the TT LB and LVc. If I were in your shoes, I would get the TT LB. It simply ticks all the boxes, assuming you are a fan of TT.

Let us know what you decide upon.
