Basically love the sub, pondering owning 3. I've been down the road of owning several of the same style of watches before. Wondering if I'm going down the same path.

Thoughts?

Wllnv19 · 13 January 2015, 01:28 PM

Well I own the 116619LB, 116610LN, 116610LV, and the 116613LB, thought about flipping one for something else but can't bring myself to get rid of one of my Subs...I also have a DSSD...

tkerrmd · 13 January 2015, 01:29 PM

I think it's a great idea!!

ssultan · 13 January 2015, 01:30 PM

Same here OP. I own the 116610ln and would like to add the lv and the lb some day. Just love the subs.

Rogdogg · 13 January 2015, 01:37 PM

I have the LV and dream about owning the LB at the same time.
If you are able to own both there is nothing wrong with that at all.
They would make a fantastic pair of subs.
Now go get her!

ssultan · 13 January 2015, 01:39 PM

Man this thread needs pictures! Come on guys, I know quite a few of you are sporting the 3 subs...

busytimmy · 13 January 2015, 01:39 PM

Not for me, but if you are collecting modern subs it seems the logical thing to do.

captkevin · 13 January 2015, 01:41 PM

I'm all about different Sub variations

mfer · 13 January 2015, 01:42 PM

Should have known I would have all these enablers!

I went from 4 Panerai to 2.

I

my 116610lv. More is better right?

Former collection of similars....

T01 · 13 January 2015, 03:18 PM

I own three different subs, love them all!

Runnin' Rebel · 13 January 2015, 03:40 PM

Can't figure out which one I like more

Both are stunning

threemonkeys · 13 January 2015, 03:46 PM

I have an LVc and hope to have a TT blue sub one of these days.

RMC12 · 13 January 2015, 07:41 PM

For me these two are the perfect duo. I would just like to add a vintage sub now for the perfect trio!!

travisb · 13 January 2015, 08:57 PM

More Subs is a good thing! Perfect design.

LuxuryROlex · 13 January 2015, 09:27 PM

I have bought one of the Sub 116610LV an excellent time piece and very eye catchy watch. I have bought it from UK's best dealer. If you are buying it you should surely go for the same watch.

jnkay · 14 January 2015, 12:02 AM

Go for it! The dial variations make them totally different watches.

watchwatcher · 14 January 2015, 01:56 AM

First of all, I don't, so my opinion really shouldn't count for much in this discussion...

All boils down to what you want in your collection...are you more into diversity or do you love and appreciate the subtle nuances in the sub line enough to justify having 2-3? No wrong answer here and boy those are two great watches you're considering.

Cru Jones · 14 January 2015, 01:58 AM

sounds like a killer trio, mik.

WG + blue + PCLs.
SS + green + brushed.
classic black.

AK797 · 14 January 2015, 02:08 AM

I have the YG Blue and will possibly get the LVc in the future, I think they are different enough if you love subs.

Eric Chan · 14 January 2015, 02:43 AM

Nothing wrong with owning multiple versions of the same style watch. Can't say I have the great fortune to own a 116619 LB, but I do own other variations of the modern Submariner and could not be happier.

I think Rolex purposely makes them in different colours to get us to buy them.

Rolex addict · 14 January 2015, 04:10 AM

Someone ask for pictures? I also have the 116610LN, two tone bluesy, and Kermit. Love the sub!!!

Maybe. Getting the LB would mean sacrificing a couple of my existing. Also got another brand on the mind as well. I don't know what to do. I want them all!

So if I did this, my Rolex collection would be what you have above. 116619lb,116610lv,16610ln.

SaddleSC · 14 January 2015, 05:48 AM

Yes...I have both...the LVC probably gets more wrist time, but they are both "must-haves" in my collection:)

Depends I suppose on how much you value a precious metal sports Rolex over, say, an SS AP RO, perhaps? ;-)

Personally, if I could only have one at this time, if I were to have the AP itch and if I already had a couple of SS Submariners (including especially the LVc), I would be leaning heavily towards the 15300/15400 over the WG Sub...because I value the new-to-me brand ownership experience of AP over a gold Rolex, plus the RO is pure

YMMV.

Would the Daytona and Explorer be sacrificed in either scenario?
