I think I made a decision on the watch that I will buy next from a list from my previous thread. I having my local Rolex dealer bring in a 116610LV for me to take a look at it. If it sings to me in person like it does in pictures, I will get it. I have been researching all of the watches I listed and this is what I have found out.

Jaeger Le Coutlre SEAL - so many mixed reviews from the net and watch magazines.
Panerai 438 - almost impossible to get from AD
Blancpain FF - only one AD in San Diego and I can't stand working with them and doesn't have one. Can order but take a couple of months (which I don't believe) so I have to go to Orange County.
Ulysse Nardin - no local AD
Rolex 116610LV - couldn't find any negative about it. I know this is a Rolex Forum but all of you seem very fair concerning all luxury watches and all of seem to love it along with other forums along with magazines. If it doesn't sing to me then my back up is the Sub C, which I have always loved and wanted.

So next week somethime next week, I will either have the Hulk or Sub C. I will post pictures when I get it. Somewhat do you all think about I said. I know it's my decision but I always like input from others that know more then I do, lol.

Good Day
Ken

Good decision. Waiting for more news+pictures!

Darlinboy · 18 October 2012, 09:39 AM

You've obviously thought it through.

Sam Philip · 18 October 2012, 09:42 AM

Good decision, can't go wrong with a Sub C LV

Hairdude1 · 18 October 2012, 01:35 PM

Agreed with above, Love the Subc!

Win-win situation

Well Ken, either is going to make a great choice in my eyes....

Both are comfortable, and both can be worn with almost anything!
The LN is a little more versatile, but the LV has a little spice and flair...Depending on your wearing habits and preferences, is the deciding factor.

Best of luck on your choice, and make sure to post pics when the decision is made!

When in doubt, go with Rolex... actually, always go with Rolex

116610LV

I'm biased but I wouldn't think of having any of the others on your list replace my Hulk.

77T · 18 October 2012, 06:43 PM

No argument here - either are fine choices. Let your eyes do the choosing - which ever one is more pleasing...

Roller07 · 18 October 2012, 11:41 PM

that watch won't be there long

Hound · 18 October 2012, 11:46 PM

Watchonisto · 18 October 2012, 11:48 PM

Hope is the hulk
