Classic LV, I had a Hulk for a brief period but ultimately it was just too much green, the classic LV is perfect and of course you can easily change the look with a Black insert.

16610LV for me....the LVC is a nice watch, but it just doesn't sing to me

Classic LV. New one just too much green. Splash of green on the classic just right.

I have the classic but I would actually not mind adding the Hulk as well.

classic LV in my opinion. I love the contrast with the black dial.

I went classic and never regretted....plus i like the fact that you can change the bezel to black if you want. That saying the green/black combo is great.... just wish they made it for the gmt also.

The dial of the LVC is magnificent but I don't like the case or the clasp.
I am not keen on the maxi dial on both. What I'm doing therefore is putting a LV insert on my 16610. Best of all worlds.

These are quite possibly the best photos of the LV I've seen, and definitely some of the best pictures of a Rolex in general. Thanks for posting.

I'd go Classic LV. And don't worry about the premium charged for a mint one, because it'll definitely hold it's value. Figure for every 5 Subs, they made only one LV...

Gorgeous watch and great photos!!!

It's a hard choice. I have the LVc and soon I will have the classic LV. So just get both.

Not a fan of the older LV, seems to me that all Rolex did was slap a green bezel on the Sub, fit it with bigger hour markers and charge more by calling it an "anniversary'' edition.

Go for the gold the " GREEN GOLD" LVc

I just picked up my bnib 116610LVc and i'm telling you once you try on the new Quick adjust bracelet and gaze into the Green Gold Dial surrounded by that ceramic green bezel that has got it's color by being bombarded with atoms of Gold and Platinum you will forget all about that so called 50Th edition. Who cares about switching out the LV's metal bezel for a black one. If you want a black bezel sub the by the 16610. Why spend a premium on the LV only to put a black bezel in it?????

Just remember that in order for Rolex to make the LVc they have to blend Gold,Platinum and other precious metals together to get that green colour on the maxi dial. I heard that only 4 % of the dials made for the LVc are accepted by quality control. The rest just don't cut it. This makes the LVc much fewer in numbers. I looked around for the 116610lvc for 3 months before one came up.

Also Rolex will be pumping up the price in March so make up your mind fast before they nail you for an extra 500$

Go on you tube and take a look at how they make the ceramic bezel.
It i'll blow your mind.
