Never has a dial been so captivating in person while looking somewhat bland in photos. They captured lightning in a bottle with the dial. And it carries with it all of the benefits of a steel ceramic sub. What more could you want?

Old school case. Easily.

A.Sharp · 30 October 2013, 04:47 PM

Hulk

Cru Jones · 30 October 2013, 08:29 PM

LVc for me, but, i agree that 16613 over 116613.

Cc1966 · 30 October 2013, 08:40 PM

Love the TT Sub.

anipit · 30 October 2013, 08:44 PM

Voted Hulk.

jjnd08 · 30 October 2013, 10:46 PM

Love all the input, TRF members!

lmcgbaj · 30 October 2013, 10:51 PM

The Hulk looks more modern, young, fresh, cool, hip, different.....

I vote LV.

gmlomas · 30 October 2013, 11:43 PM

Rather go all gold than two tone, I simply don't like it. Not a fan of the blue either, other than the white gold sub...that is something else. So hulk for me

hx_ONG · 30 October 2013, 11:50 PM

i have the hulk and looking forward to get a TT blue in the future. If i had to choose now between 2, the bluesy gets my vote!

Mystro · 30 October 2013, 11:51 PM

Nothing pops like a TT classic blue. There is a reason Rolex is trying to recapture the right dial color.

That photo may have just sealed it for me. Nice shot!

RRGHOST1 · 31 October 2013, 01:39 AM

I love TT watches but voted for the LV. If it was against the 116613LB I would have voted for that model as I don't like the blue on the 16613.

shalako · 28 November 2013, 09:16 PM

I voted for the LV Hulk but if you were comparing with the new Blue dial Plat YM I would have chosen that, if you sell used cars are over 55 then the two tone sub is a perfect choice. :)

jpl20 · 28 November 2013, 10:49 PM

Blue all day long, don't get me wrong, I like the Hulk, however, when I think Submariner, and what it stands for, I think water, and when I'm thinking Submariner and water, and diving, I'm thinking deep, shimmering, sparkling blue.

sea-dweller · 29 November 2013, 03:29 AM

Hulk!

DOUGHN · 30 November 2013, 11:51 AM

HULK... anyday anytime

Roy7 · 2 January 2014, 12:10 AM

I turn 29 in september, I had the same dilemma 16613 versus the LV.

The 16613 won.

I felt that the 16613 was more versatile than the LV and a better value.

That's what I said and look what happened. I really enjoy having two subs. My LB is my favorite but was my second purchase.

Racerdj · 2 January 2014, 12:30 AM

The reason

cali kid · 2 January 2014, 12:36 AM

Nothing can match that beautiful dial of the 16613 piece. Bought this U series brand new from an AD in Carmel Ca back in Jan of 1999 and at the time it was the watch to own, maybe the excesses of the 90's but still beautiful... I was 36 and didn't feel the gold made me old, seems nowadays if it isn't brushed stainless its just not in the conversation. BTW, almost 15 years old and still the best looking dial anywhere and I can see why Rolex is trying to correct it..

Still had the drilled lugs, miss that on most of today's Rolex..

Roller07 · 2 January 2014, 12:45 AM

The LVc gets my vote.

SearChart · 2 January 2014, 01:45 AM

I voted Hulk, because I LOVE Rolex Green.

luvsub · 2 January 2014, 02:18 AM

Hulk!

Rags · 2 January 2014, 02:38 AM

For me the bluesy is it. I know I'm probably the minority but I'm just not a fan of the hulk. It's just too much green IMO.

jjnd08 · 2 January 2014, 03:12 AM

Appreciate the input, guys; but, I made the decision a couple months back. The decision can be seen here:
