Next Watch!

Hi everybody! Currently I have a GMT-Master II BLNR (Batman) and a Yacht-Master II in steel. I'm looking at getting either an LVC or a TT Black Sub. I've looked at the blue two tone one, and like the bezel, but honestly I hate the sunburst blue dial (whereas I happen to really like the sunburst green dial on the LVC) and feel that the dial cheapens the look of the watch. I compare this especially to my favorite watch of all time, the white gold blue Sub, which has a wonderful blue dial. Having a two tone watch gives a little bit of variety in terms of metal color, but the green sub gives variety in terms of dial color.

I can get a black or white Daytona also, but I know the wait time will be about 6 months from now if I were to get one of those. Not totally against it, but I'm mainly looking at the green and tt black Subs.

What would you guys get?

Not a huge fan of either, but the Hulk is one of my least favorite Rolex watches, so I’d go two-tone.

I voted the LVc from theese two. If you were to choose between a LVc and a full gold sub, now that is another World and I would go for the gold sub.

None, but if I really had to pick one then the LV.

Most will say LVc as its currently in vogue and the TT black sub is less popular than the LB.

The green does not work for me and personally find the "bluesy" a bit flashy lacking in class. I do, however full understand that the "hulk" is very popular and that many love the "bluesy" so owners, please do not take offence

My vote is TT black sub.

Neither, ............. all will be too similar in style.

If you can get a Daytona within 6 months I’d go for that option, specifically the white dial.
