Black or Green

[Ruud Van Driver]

Thank you all for your replies; special thanks to FiftyTwoEighty and WhatTheDuece for the posting pics of the LV with long sleeves and a suit jacket. One of my biggest concerns was how the LV would look against a dark suit and pink shirt when I'm in court or in a meeting but then I always have the choice to switch to the Daytona.

As alluded to in another helpful reply, the green might be construed as a tad ostentatious. I have to confess, that's been on my mind too. However, I was a difficult child and I haven't changed as time has passed; I have always refused to conform and am too old to start now. Sounds like another great reason to go green

Another great piece of advice was to wear them both and see which sings. With you all the way, dude!

I've tried on the green in another branch of the same AD further up Orchard Road. I don't particularly like the shop though because of the lighting and decor; everything has an artificial bronze hue as a result and subsequently looks awful. Another excellent point raised!

To Matt C: green bezel/black dial combo? One word: eew! One man's meat is another man's poison, fair enough, but not for me. Thanks for the suggestion though.

When I bought my Daytona, I couldn't make my mind up between the black and white faces (bit of déjà vu going on here ) the salesman let me try them both on side by side and go take a looksy outside. I found the white to be a little too bright in the afternoon sun so went for black. I guess that's exactly what I'll do on Monday and see which one sings. At the moment it seems like green is the one towards which I'm swaying; as has also been said, would be a killer pair

Many thanks again for all your input.
