Green if you have more than 1 rolex. Black if you’ll wear only one.

I prefer the black! Definitely would not want a two tone green (just my opinion).

To me it would depend what else you have in your collection.

Personally, I’d go with the LN if I didn’t already have a black face sports watch. Just my

I would go LV all the way. The green and blue sunburst dials on the sub are must haves for me.

I do like the idea of a classic black diver in the collection, however. IMO, though, that niche is perfectly filled by the SD43.

How'd you create the poll? Wasn't able to figure that out earlier.
When you create a new tread you have to scroll all the way down (on the page where you can Enter a title and a text).

After scrolling down you can click on "Post a Pol" and chose the amount of answers/options. Afterwards you will be transferred to a page where you can ask the question and define the answers. I hope that helps!

I really think that the dial on the LV is spectacular, but personally, I will always prefer the LN.

After owning LVc for over a month, Hulk for me. All black is little boring for my taste. That's why I've never owned a black car.

Although I love both, I would have to go with Black. It’s just perfect.

Black is more popular but the green is more talked about by the loudmouths here, as often happens.

How do you vote if you have both? I’m a statistical wash.

If you have to give one up, which do you keep? Price is not a consideration.

Depends on the use case, but if it were to be a regularly worn watch I would tend towards the black dial. If for weekend play, go green.

Nothing can really touch the black no date as a classic, but with date, it's a flat tie. The green just shimmers.
