If you travel much the BLNR otherwise the LV Submariner.

Do you like green or blue ? Do you like PCL's/Jubilee or brushed ? Is flip lock enough adjustment or do you need the glidelock ?

My man! Calling the LV sub “Starbucks” is taking one of the most iconic watches ever made and dragging it down to the doldrums of the worst coffee you could buy anywhere. The nicknames given to these watches have different levels of cringe.

Starbucks and Batgirl are way up there on the cringe scale.

Some could argue, referring to a stranger on the internet as 'My Man!' is even more cringe...

Whatever floats the boat, all 3 perfect for every day. I would pick the 116613LB in a heartbeat (logically due I own this beautiful (car salesman ) watch.

Funny, I've been in the car business for 11 years never even thought about a 116613LB. My pick here is for the SUBLV.

This is a tough one… For me personally, I slightly favor the BLNR but the 126610LV is probably the more versatile of the two. I love my 116613LB, but out of the 3 watches it’s certainly the most flashy and the least versatile IMO. Not saying that’s a bad, I guess it just depends on what you’re looking for

Just a personal choice, as all are perfectly fine for a daily. If you’re buying, get the one you’ll love looking at on your wrist. My personal choice of those would be the LV.

For daily from these 3, the 12LV as the BLNR with PCLs is a scratch magnet for daily, and is more understated vs the bluesy. 12LV is my current daily.

I normal times both green and two-tone sat in the case (fact.) Thus I vote BLNR.

Why not just complete the trifecta and call the LV by the model number too?

Of the 3 for daily wear....I'd go BLNR.

I love Rolex dive watches and GMTs. But as a pilot the GMT wins out overall! Can't go wrong with either.

Lv all day for me. I don’t use the second time zone function very often and prefer a count down bezel for daily wear.

GMT is most comfortable out of those three so that is what I wear daily.

It depends on what your daily activity consists of. Out of the 3 I would go with the LV
