Black is boring (to me).

The LV is a very unique watch.

I liked the LN so much that I bought the LV. Buying two of the same watches = crazy...yeah, I know/it is.....but I have ZERO regrets.

I prefer the LV. The dial is absolutely beautiful, and changes color depending on the angle and lighting. Many times it appears black, but then I slightly turn my wrist and see that metallic green that is truly stunning.

I would vote for the green. You just don't see them in the wild.

I have bought the LV two weeks ago as my first Rolex watch. It took me to choose LV or LN two months! I have decided to buy LN and went to the AD. When I came in I was really atracted by the beauty of a green dial and didnt even looked at the LN. After half an hour I purchased the LV and I am very happy with my choise. I use it with every type of suit without any hasitation. You can not believe in your eyes how the green colored dial changes under the sunshine !
Absolutly go for the Hulk

I think it may really depend on the colors you wear, your personality, and skin tone.

I bought the LN back in December and liked it at first but got bored with it quickly and realized I wanted the LV. So I got my LV and haven't looked back! I love this LV and can't wait to wear it everyday!!

Exactly the way it happened for me too. The LV is just so unique.

I agree with a lot of what has already been said. I went with the LV because I already had a rolex with a black dial. With that being said, the LV's bezel appears to be a more striking green. The dial on the LV often looks black.

Get the LV. The green dial and bezel really stands out.

I put a deposit down on an LV --- none in stock... 4 - 6 weeks!! Can't wait for the phone call that it is in...

Very unique piece.

GO FOR THE HULK!
Totally Agree +1

I had the LV for about a month, then sold it....

Now I have the LN and could not be happier.

Reason is: If you want this as your only/daily wearer watch, you will lose interest in the LV in a while, and one month down the line, you will feel it looks absurd, as it DOES NOT match all clothing. However, if this will be one watch of many, then yes I would get the LV.

As a 'one watch' policy adherent, you cannot beat the SubC LN.
