You’ll get 50/50!
Get what you like not what others like! Both are great watches
Don’t go with the hype. Hypes go up and down, go with what you like more

Hulk, I don't see how the regatta complication would be useful on a daily basis, the timing bezel will be useful.

Surely with a user name such as yours you don't have to ask that question, do you?

Kidding aside, the Lvc would be more of a daily wearer for me. Size is more manageable, glide lock for adjustments to wrist swelling, and a date.

The YM2 is a sweet watch, though. Miss mine.

SubLV for sure!

Wrist shots help but the LV easily one of best Rolex dials!

You’d need to try them on. The YM is much bigger. I tried one on today and it’s about the limit, if not over for me. They are also at quite different price points so that’s another factor to consider.

Make your selection after seeing them in person. On the web countless gorgeous pics can be found from the 116610LV. But the difference between the best availiable picture for the 116680 and live is 100 times bigger. It’s said about a lot of (Rolex) watches but for me personally the 116680 is THE watch you MUST see live on the wrist!

The Glidelock makes a big difference so I’d vote Sub. However if you source a Glidelock and install it on the YM2, the. I’d vote YM2.
