Not a fan of the three watches listed but if I had to choose one for free it would be the LV.

Even though I tried one on last week and it looked funny on my skinny wrist, I'd still go with the DSSD because of the functionality and cool lume. I bet I could get used to the size over time. It is a HUGE watch but still beautiful IMO

can you fit a black insert in a LV bezel? It was my understanding that rolex slightly made the green bezel insert larger on the LV so people couldn't swap them into standard subs

Not right...............Many on this forum have put black on LV Subs.

DSSD all the way. Although I want a LV I wouldn't swap the DSSD for anything. As for the GV, i haven't even worn it yet ?

Tough choice, but it'd be the LV by a whisker for me

The same for me.
But my choice would be for the DSSD, unless I could have the LV with a black bezel.
