I would have to agree with my good friend here.

Currently own the 114060 and love it and have owned the TT LB and LVc. If I were in your shoes, I would get the TT LB. It simply ticks all the boxes, assuming you are a fan of TT.

Let us know what you decide upon.

Classic black LN. I've had the same debate myself before purchases in the past but in the end (for me) nothing beats the versatility of the 116610 among the options you listed.

Going with a modern ceramic version but do I go two tone, Hulk or the classic LN???
I love the date function, too, so for utility purposes I would never own the ND. I'd go with black SUBc. Or something different in ceramic--the standard GMT. And if you like TT, I prefer the GMT TT to the SUB GMT. The Gold really pops with the bezel.

There is nothing about the Black stainless 116610 that will ever get tired. Go for that!!!! You may find the green doesn't go with everything and the two tone may still be a bit flashy, even with black dial.

Thanks for all the feedback. Tried on a few yesterday and at least ruled out the TT models...as of today anyway! While beautiful, I think it would be really hard for me to pull it off as a casual/weekend watch given my lifestyle. So as of now, leaning towards the 116610 LN or LV. As many have said, the LV dial is really something...the color really morphs under different light. I was wearing the 15400 that day and couldn't help but think the pop in color could be a good compliment and different enough from another black dial watch.
Oddly enough, I think I like the LN and LV for different yet opposing reasons if it makes sense...follow me here: LN is more stealth but is it too common and sometimes looks like every other 'diver'? LV is a little more special (dare I say rare in the wild, not here on the forum) but would l think the LV is too loud over time?

So many decisions...and I won't even get into the other watches/brands I tried on. Hahaha.

The LV wouldn't be my choice for an only Sub, but those who own them seem to be on a constant honeymoon with them. If you like the extra color, I say go for it.

It depends on two considerations: versatility and resources. The basic black is like a pair of khaki pants, in that it goes well with practically anything in nearly any situation. The green is gorgeous, cool, and more uncommon, but considerably less versatile, in my view - if you pay attention to the way you accessorize, you start thinking about matching the watch with the shirt and so forth. So, my advice: If you want the green one, awesome - but keep the ND alongside it, or get both the black and the green. If just one, get the black.

Just my 2¢.

I am a serial flipper but I just can not get myself to flip this one. Hulk has staying power.

I had the BLNR....twice! Definitely liked how subtle the blue was sometimes and how it really popped at certain settings. Maybe it was the combo of the pcl, the somewhat busy bezel (though I appreciate it functionality)...but yes, tried it on again too just to get a side by side.

Will emphasize the LV again especially now knowing you have the 15400 black dial

The only way to go here is to add i think. Keep your ND Sub and add another to see if it "fits".
If after some months with the new one you haven't worn the ND then sell it.
The LN would be nore likely to replace the ND completely than the LV.

I still never understood why people think a watch needs to match your outfit.

A watch is an accessory.

Anyways, my vote is green. The black is way too ubiquitous

The green is stunning.
