Icon2 SBGE257 vs 122610LV...green or green?

If only one green, which one for you?

That’s a tough call my friend ... since you already have the LVC I’d be inclined to say the Seiko ... but I don’t know 122610lv would also be nice to add ...

There, thank my later

Thanks my friend, but I’m not in the market for either of these. I just thought this was an interesting contrast between two beautiful watches. One decidedly more modern in terms of aesthetics, but both being very impressive and modern in terms of technical aspects.

Saw this posted on Timeless’s IG the other day. They had both in stock when was there yesterday. Definitely the GS for me. It’s a GMT and better finishing. Just wish they would have gone with the high beat. Still a great watch.

Gs hands down here. It’s more versatile with the gmt hand, better finishing, and far, and I mean far better color. That kelly green pastel bezel is not perfected.

GS for me, just because there is no way in hell I can get the LV without major damage to the wallet. For the market price of the LV, one may get the GS and Bluesy.

When I think if green watches, I think of a green Submariner.

At retail. The Sub hands down.

Grey mkt pricing? The GS.

Like the green on the GS better, less cartoonish

Its hard to argue with the new LVc. The only argument is price gouging for them right now.

As a result, GS wins by default. :)

GS.

But maybe I’m biased?
