I’d go LV either way but all preference.

The flat 4 is so expansive so likely a later series

16613 for sure. I find I enjoy it more than my 16710. It is an absolutely great watch.

The bracelet is prone to wear on the 16613 though, so just make sure that you clean it often in order to preserve its integrity.

It’s a tough choice and I still want both :)

I’ll take it off your wrist anytime you are ready. Lol

Try them all on... I think you will be surprised about how the 6 digit sits on your wrist... it is not really much bigger than the 5 digit... just try them on... then you will know!

They're both really nice, but in this instance I would say the LV.

Difficult to find replacement parts is a good thing?

I agree

Rolex.c6 · 24 May 2018, 04:24 PM

Personally I'm just not a big fan of blue, except for the BLNR. So in this case it would be the Sub LV for sure.

Basel_World · 24 May 2018, 05:12 PM

The LV is much more collectible and looks also better.

Andad · 24 May 2018, 05:13 PM

Fortunate to have both and I like them the same but I think the LV is going to be more difficult to find than the 16613 and may have a premium.

The new 116613 has significant improvements in the bracelet and bezel.

I would choose the LV and then the 116613 at this time.

The GREEN one.

CPRWATCH · 24 May 2018, 05:30 PM

Got to be the LV for me . But what matters most given the hype around LVs & flat fours especially ,is this question.If you bought a LV flat four , would you wear it or keep it locked away as a safe queen or investment piece . If the answer is no , I would go with the non flat four LV & save yourself some money ,or buy the equally wearable 16613 and save yourself even more. But what really tips it for me with the LV is the Maxi dial on a 5 digit watch , it's the perfect combination & Rolex really nailed it with the LV .

Andad · 24 May 2018, 05:51 PM

The BLUE one.

The Flat 4 appealed to me for a hot sec until I realized how over-hyped and over priced they are!

LV for sure. Have to seen the crazy auction prices for unworn condition lately. Sotheby’s just sold two yesterday. $40k for a flat 4 and $18k for later year model.

I had a 16613 (black bezel) and loved it for several years. Wore it 24/7 and everywhere including gym, biking, hot tub etc. ha ha. Didn’t get scratched. Definitely not a boring watch, the two tone really stands out vs the standard sub. Having said all of that I just sold it and bought a 16610lv here on the forum. I really love the maxi deal, the plots and hands are definitely more visible.The green bezel is stunning too. Expensive though

It has to be the 16613 over the LV. You need to see it and try it on the 16613. 16613 TT is a very nice watch. The 5 digit fits much better for smaller wrist in comparison to the 6 digit.

FinWatch · 27 May 2018, 05:40 PM

I have a 6 digit TT and I just love my Bluesy! The coulouring is amazing, it is the watch to wear in every situation. It is just magical.
The Kermit: I am waiting my Kermit to come from Italy tomorrow, but I have only seen pictures of Kermit. I feel that it is different. Not as beautiful as Bluesy is, but I get the kicks of the collectibility of Kermit. Especially the Y- and F-series, which are very limited.
If you like to think of future value (many people here tend to dislike the thought that Rolex could be an investment): Kermit has almost tripled its value in the last eight years (Y- and F-series). According to different articles, Kermit is one of the best investment Rolex-watches. According to my limited research, the value of Kermit will continue to rise. There are plenty of Kermit -threads here, just search Kermit from this forum.
