So again, trade your LN with BLNR and you won't regret it. Report back.

Cheers.

Thanks man. One other question..what you think about the pepsi GMT? I would LOVE to have that red/blue combo but I just CAN'T make myself invest in what I see as old tech i.e the non ceramic, bracelet/clasp not as good.

I am not vintage guy so I chose modern ceramic one. The easylink is great and sometimes I feel it's even better than the glidelock as its more convenient to fold in/out. Having said that, the Pepsi is very nice piece and a lot people love it but I simply never thought about adding to my collection, but maybe some time in the future, who knows? It also depends on how much it costs you, if price is right, you can purchase as an investment while being able to enjoy.

Just follow your gut feeling, or you will regret not soon later and end up spending more to get the right one.

If I was a one watch guy, the black would be my choice all day long. If I had a rotation then the LVc would get my vote. Generally speaking, I always need a black dial watch as a go to piece.

[JUSTIFIED]

Black all the way!

[MCO1]

Black if your one and only and few will notice your watch at all.

I love the Green, but for the one and only I prefer black.

The LVc is the one I would choose. My brother has one, and it's his only watch. No doubt that their is a rational out there that it isn't adaptable and doesn't work in some situations. I disagree, and think it looks great in every environment. The ceramic bezel adds a flair of formality, and the watch at 40 mm is certainly not a behemoth like many other divers. I love it, and were it not for my twin brother already owning one... I would pick it up and wear it without hesitation.

You don't want a green watch. Deep down you know this to be true or you wouldn't be so conflicted. The black Submariner turns heads, it's not like they grow on trees, not like everyone has them outside of this chummy discussion forum.

You want a black Submariner. Go get one.

I would say go green though. I absolutely love mine and it goes with anything. I've worn mine with a dark navy suit and pink shirt and it looked awesome (well I would say that, wouldn't I ). Thing is, it's a Sub. You can dress it up or down any way you want and it will always look fantastic.

The green dial is mesmerising and can often look black in different lighting. It most certainly isn't shouty and is no more likely to attract unwanted attention than any other Rolex.

No real wrong answer here but try both and see which you prefer.

Mine says hi

^^^ this ... mine says hi

The green looks black in the shade but shines in direct sunlight. Green is also very versitile. Go green if you want to be unique.

Congrats on the achievement! I would give the edge to hulk only because you have many black options by Rolex to choose from in the future, including other models like explorer, etc.

Always a conflict on this...

Green!

[MoreCowbell]

Black. If you feel a black sub is too common and you're willing to spend a little more I would go BLNR. Can't go wrong either way. Good luck.

[Utomow]

If this is the dilema you face, try GMT with insert bezel where you can fit in couple of color options.

[fjkyle]

Someone needs to post a reverse Kermit, black ceramic bezel on the hulk green dial!

[GSBC]

Don't be boring...get the Hulk.

[stratguy]

Black is timeless. Go black.
