Ironically, I think the LV looks more expensive than the LN (which it is). The LN models are the classics. The LV is a cool alternative that is rapidly becoming one of my favorite Rolex sport watches. I'm really 50/50 on if I will get a Datejust II next or this.

You may think you're a pretty good looking person, hell, you could be hally berry meets heidi klum meets Ryan gosling meets Brad Pitt blah blah blah. Have someone stand a couple feet away from you with an iPhone, scratch that, and iPhone 6s Plus, take a photo of your face with the flash on, and go ahead and compare that to every time you've ever looked in the mirror in a bathroom, seen your reflection in a window, seen a photo of yourself sitting in a park on an overcast day or in the golden light before the sunsets. You won't be happy with the photo of yourself when the harsh flash is blasted in your face, and also killing the light everywhere else around you. Anyway, here's a nice mix for you :) (all photos below are available natural light with an iPhone - not the 6s plus though) |

I'm not particularly fond of green but it certainly doesn't look cheap! I prefer blue.

I find it incomprehensible how anyone can think such an awesome piece looks cheap.

I didn't know what to think until I saw it in person and was blown away.

I think it looks cheap too.
It does look a bit like a gimmicky watch actually. So much so, that I couldn't stop thinking about it for the past few months. Even tho I'd flipped it in the past, I just couldn't get it off my brain. Until this past Friday anyway, when I raced to get to the mall before all the hubbub. Now it's off my brain and on my wrist. It's it's looking cheap as all hell. Stupid cheap looking watch.

I debated on buying the LV for months. Finally I took the wife to a jewelry store to look at it, thinking that she'd say "oh, that's just stupid" and that would be the end. Instead, she says, "it's great, it's unique, I think you should buy it." And so I did. ...and I'm wearing it today. Gorgeous watch.

Might not be for everyone but certainly not cheap.

Don't mind the watch at all, but if you compare the finish and color to, say Calatrava or ALS or Grand Seiko... It does look a bit... Raw? Perhaps different. Not cheap tough.

OP, since you asked, I'll give you my honest opinion: I think the Hulk and BLNR are kinda the clown pieces of Rolex... They seem to be the most-flipped pieces on here. I think there's a reason for that... They're just hard for me to take seriously.

I don't care if you hold the watch five feet from the sun......no amount of light will make it look cheap!

Sorry don't agree. I've owned both the blue and green sunburst and neither looked cheap.
