116610n vs 116610v

Can you guys help me out?
I am buying one of these brand new in the next 2 or 2 weeks.
Which should it be? I am leaning towards the green ceramic as I see possible price appreciation greater than the black one. But of course I know I should buy the one that I like better. The problem is I don't know which one I like better. They are both great pieces. Price is not a consideration since I am getting a good price on both, and the difference is only a few hundred dollars.

Thanks for helping me out.

David

Neither are going to appreciate any time soon....and for a few hundred bucks, is it worth buying one over another based on resale???

Get the one you find most appealing, you won't be disappointed as they are both a great choice!!

easy for you guys to say :)
the problem is I don't know which one I like better.
I guess I'll have to just keep thinking about it, since I have a little time.

Black, though my viewpoint is somewhat biased.

I just bought an 16610 LV from an AD New In Box for $5100 which was the old retail. I as told they don't increase price on discontinued models. I was there to look at the new Sub C but at 8k and no liking those lugs. I snatched up the LV FAST....

I"m looking for another one at that price!....

You can't go wrong with either one. I guess it depends if this will be your daily watch or whether it will be in rotation with others. If the former, I'd lean more towards the LN, since black goes with any wardrobe.

Good luck! Don't forget to post some wrist shots.

Good point Josh.......
However, resale versa comparison between the two is negligible. I can't see either busting the index anytime soon!

Black works for me. I like the green, but I think it would eventually get old, whereas a black Sub is timeless and classic as classic gets.

That is a very tough call. I say grab the LVC... I let the LN go and now just picked it up again... There is something just so classic about the SS and black dial on a Rolex that I just needed tpo have back in my colelction... The SD is great too but it just isnt the same as the Sub c

As for the price appreciation/investment purposes... NOT A CHANCE on either IMHO, buy and wear what you like for today

The only way to make your decision easier is to get both

I am really stuck now. First I love the green, then I love the black, back and forth.
And no, can't afford both

Hey, just curious why you think no investment potential at all on these watches. First of all, Rolex seems to constantly raise prices, secondly and more importantly, the constant beat-down of inflation on us all, with the inevitable depreciation of the US dollar.
Also on a separate note, great watches in the photo, and I noticed you used photobucket to upload to this site. I was trying to upload on of my watches to this message for practice and it says limit is 100x100 and my photo is 868x1200 and for me to manually resize it. Anyone know what I need to do to upload watch photos from Audible (on macbook pro) to photobucket and then on to this forum.
Thanks in advance.
David

If you like them both the same then I would either get the LV because your next Rolex will most likely have a black dial; unless of course you believe that you will only have one Rolex, then I would get the LN......

but if you stay on this forum, my guess is that no matter what you think about having only one Rolex, you will, in the not too far future, get a second; therefore I would get the LV.

Good luck on your choice.....either way you win!!

Nice shot! Possibly the best picture of the 116610 I've seen.
