LN, which is why I bought one. I think I could be happy with the LV, but I'm not a flashy person, so understated is more my speed.

I am not a fan of the Sub C LN in any way. I owned one for a while and just couldn't live with it. The starkness of the black bezel emphasises the watch's key weakness (IMO) those big-ass lugs. The LVc has the same lugs but the green dial and bezel distract my eye from the lugs sufficiently that they don't bother me. So... no, I much prefer the LVc over the LNc.

For a black bezel I need to go GMT2c, 14060 or 16600.

LN for me: more versatile.
For you: owning a GMT-C: maybe a LV gives more variety!
Good luck!

Maybe the question should be, "owner of SS GMT2c, what's next? LNc or LVc? ... I would go for LVc.

Without GMT2c, then LNc is for me.

I reserve judgement until I see the LVc irl. I think the LN is more photogenic.

Not a big "green" fan so it's the LN for me.

I put a deposit down last month on a new Subc ND...then bought a LV last week on a whim after trying one on for the first time. Couldn't believe how much I liked it (not near as loud/green in person for some reason).

Thinking the new NDc and the Hulk might be a great pair. A classic design (ok, an updated/classic design) to wear more frequently, and the Greenie to wear as a change up.

i dont think that i like the LN more than the LV. maybe the LN is easier to match as an all around watch.

If you only had one watch, then LN would be more versatile. If you have several watches, then go LV for the variety!

I have a GMT-IIc (black dial), Sub LV (green dial), Daytona (white dial), Everose Daytona (rose dial), and a green Milgauss so all bases covered lol.

You'd be surprised how the green matches most everything. I agree that it can't be your only watch though.

I've got the GMTII-c as my all black, go with everything everyday wearer, and the LV for variety as the LN would be too similar to the GMTII-c.

I opted for the LVC and GMTIIC over an LN.

Probably could have saved some $$$ if it just got the LN.

LN is true classic, timeless never get bored
LV is just a new thingy, one day it will be not popular anymore because may be in the future, Rolex will produce some more color on Submariner so LV is just one color out of many

just IMHO
