In a two watch collection with a Pepsi on oyster

Which sub do you keep? LN or LV?

In my opinion dump the GMT, add a dresswatch, keep the LN.

You can’t go wrong with either are you looking at 5 or 6 digit models?
If you are looking at the 5 digit and you can’t really decide because of insert color and are a bit handy and not afraid to do a slight modification? you can find a nice LV
Sub and get a couple extra inserts in LN and a nice faded LB that the gold has faded to almost silver and Voilà!
You can get a couple extra bezels and mount the extra inserts so you don’t have to keep popping off the inserts. Just swap bezels anytime you want. Then you’ll have an LN Sub with maxi dial and hands or a nice Shark or your LV ;) just something I thought of doing myself.

I have the new LV and love it. It is and will likely always be my daily.

Want the BLRO on oyster. I am biased because that is THE two watch collection I want (as far as Rolex is concerned).

I'd keep the LN... always nice to have a black diver in a 2 watch collection. You've got the color covered with the BLRO and the LN goes with everything. Can dress up or down.

That’d be my thought as well

This isn't far off from my preference. I'd probably pair a dress watch with the LV, or consolidate towards one PM GMT/Sub.

I would do the LV (my new LV has become possibly my favorite). However, I have already owned a black ND Sub and was ready to move on to the LV.

LN for me... basically because I've never owned a black Sub, it's an icon and it goes with everything.

Plus, if I'm going for a LV, there is only one LV!

Sorry!

I would keep the LN. Classic good looks. If it was a Hulk then I would say keep the Hulk but it is not.

If it’s a Hulk keep it and ditch the LN. Same for a Kermit. 12 series LV is a no from me. Then stick with the LN
