No idea, if I had to guess I’d say the BLNR. I think both are likely equally as difficult to find at an AD now a days though.

Both equally hard to get where I am. Won't put you on the list unless you know them very well.

I had this exact question in a Facebook Group . . . .

I oddly came across a 116610LV . . . before the BLNR. And for me i find this odd based on what i have seen for availability and what i have been told by Mutliple AD's that i have spoke with.

AD = "Maybe we can get you into a Datejust, and then we can add you to our list for one of the Sport Models. We can start trying to get you a Submariner . . . Maybe move up to the BLNR and at that point for sure we can source a 116610LV."
Me= "uhhhhh . .. Pass"

My BLNR was easier to get than the LV. Then again the former was bought 2016 and the hunt for the LV started 2017 and I only got it recently. So the shortage could have played a biggest role.

Between the two the BLNR feels lighter on the wrist and sits flatter. Definitely more comfortable as a daily FWIW.

SubC LV is easier, IMO. Seen one in a case several months ago... Came back 1.5 months later, still there. Gone when there a few weeks ago.

This looks like a landslide, but I will pile on anyway...the LVC is much more difficult to get in my neck of the woods.
