Almost have enough savings to invest in my first Sub! Torn between the TT 16613

or the Kermit 16610lv. Pros, cons and overall insights from those that have both?

chad362wiley · 21 May 2018, 10:22 AM

oh the green for sure. if you want TT, has to be 6 digit.

NCD1979 · 21 May 2018, 10:22 AM

LV all day long

Why, for performance or resale value?

TT 5 digit over 6 digit on my book!

MTdweller · 21 May 2018, 11:09 AM

I say go for the 16613, it is a stunning watch!

aproo · 21 May 2018, 11:17 AM

I would go with the Kermit

Lv!

Lv

gt0279a · 21 May 2018, 11:51 AM

Do like the non-maxi dial?

That’s what I don’t like on all the non LV 5 digit Submariner Date models.

jmrxtr · 21 May 2018, 11:53 AM

LV because it rocks

ccaballero · 21 May 2018, 12:04 PM

LV is a classic piece. Rolex gives it special attention. Rolex generally won’t even sell replacement parts for the LV to outside watchmakers.

rebel_1 · 21 May 2018, 12:07 PM

Tough decision you have. Personally, I’d get the LV. I like the new Bluesy more than the previous version; the LV is much harder to acquire; and if I were to get a 5 digit TT it would be the silver serti dial.

siempreko · 21 May 2018, 12:12 PM

You get to decide between two beautiful watches! Have you worn each one on your wrist? Do you have a preference of one over the other? Have you tried on the 6 digit blue?

I had a 16613, and traded up to the 116613. I prefer the solid links, the glide lock clasp, the maxi dial, and the larger case (the case grew on me, but I now like it better).

Additionally, I find the blue to be more versatile than the green. You can wear it with shorts or a tux.

But, the good news is that there are no wrong answers here! Either way, you get a beautiful Watch! Put each one on your wrist, and choose the one that sings to your heart!

Peace!

LV no question.

VintageVagabound · 21 May 2018, 12:31 PM

The TT sub is 30% cheaper so depending on where you are with your savings that might be a factor. Although I’m sure many more blue subs were sold I see a lot more LVs in the wild these days for whatever that’s worth

TT sub is likely less than half the price if OP plans to get an mk1 flat 4 LV as pictured.

I’d go LV either way but all preference.

antbkny · 21 May 2018, 12:37 PM

Lv for the maxi dial

Noahwalt · 21 May 2018, 12:46 PM

I’ll go with the LV.

That’s really great advice!! The LV is squirrely to find these days so I must spend more time feeling it out!

Ya LV is more but seems like a good investment, yet I’m not looking to resell. Def a keeper.

That’s good to hear. Seems like the LVs are in demand.

I have small wrists so the maxi dials may be harder for me to pull off well.

DKRanger22 · 21 May 2018, 01:21 PM

I prefer the 16613 over the LV, but that's just me.

Tools · 21 May 2018, 01:31 PM

I don't do green, and I don't like blue bezels.

However, I think that the TT black Sub is the best looking watch Rolex ever made.

sensui · 21 May 2018, 01:32 PM

The lv....that's it.

Phrank · 21 May 2018, 01:48 PM

Just had a similar decision, 5 digit all the way and the 16613lb - Bluesy!!

watchmework · 21 May 2018, 01:58 PM

16613.
