I know this topic has been discussed before, but I am really in a pinch if I should get the green sub-c? I currently don't have one (long story) and I am going to purchase either a green or black sub.

Love the pictures of the green, but not sure if the color will go with everything as good as black does? Any input here?

BLACK would be a "safer" bet. As you yourself put it, GREEN may not go with all your shirts, etc....................but with a neutral colour like BLACK, you can't go wrong.

Besides, why would you want to fork out an extra 500 bucks for a gold painted green dial?

its going to be a tough decision - good luck with it. im sure you will love the one you end up with.

if still in doubt - get both. that will solve the problem

If the green is singing to you, go with the green. Logic dictates that black is more versatile, but then again, logic doesn't tend to come into play when buying a luxury watch

snowbird · 29 December 2010, 09:02 AM

I think the black is more versatile if you have to choose one. It's also a lot easier to find than the green right now.

Fiery · 29 December 2010, 09:03 AM

I'd get the black one. More versatile, more classic, easier to sell (if things go south). Black doesn't draw too much attention, while green simply "pops".

If I had unlimited budget, I'd get both, and swap the bezels to make two very interesting and unique Rolexes

If it starts to literally sing, you might want to seek the advice of a fully Rolex-trained doctor!

Jackson7291 · 29 December 2010, 09:04 AM

I really like the green, not as safe as the black but I think a better looking watch

Get both!!! I myself and thinking of selling the black as they both are so similar but I love them both and certainly will NOT be selling the green

I dont have a problem with the green as the dial looks black in most lights.

watchwatcher · 29 December 2010, 09:16 AM

Green. Definitely green.

As for why, why not?

globalmedia33 · 29 December 2010, 09:28 AM

I would go with green.

WARVET · 29 December 2010, 09:58 AM

Black is timeless, never goes out of style, green is good for St Pattys day

thesmallwave · 29 December 2010, 10:03 AM

Just get the one you like.I decided to go with black as will go with a pink shirt for examble but green doesn't.

sea-dweller · 29 December 2010, 10:14 AM

I say black also, due to the versatility factor.

Singslinger · 29 December 2010, 10:25 AM

I'd say it depends on what watches you already have and whether the green appeals to you.

If you have a lot of black dial watches then maybe green would be the better bet since it offers a nice-looking alternative.

Personally, I would pick green because I love the color, they are less commonly seen and I already have a Deepsea, TT Sub C and Sea-Dweller.

Good luck!

kahoot · 29 December 2010, 11:14 AM

Green all the way, if it was 16610 then black but in ceramic green looks far better than the black.

wokafu · 29 December 2010, 11:19 AM

Black/ln....!!

djmarcox · 29 December 2010, 11:23 AM

Go Green.... I did.....

SCD · 29 December 2010, 11:32 AM

If it's going to be the nth watch in your collection and you don't have anything green so it would be fun to add that to your collection...by all means...have fun. But if it's not like that then stick with black. It's more versatile, and it's a classic.

George Ab · 29 December 2010, 11:36 AM

It is a subtle green that most people will not even notice the color unless they look close. It is not a big deal; similar to the 16610LV, it goes with everything and the splash of color is refreshing.

Go GREEN!

The two-tone sub-c is my favorite. Just a bit out of budget though. I never got to see the green in person, but I'm leaning towards black, plus the green is about 900 more than the black- here on the FS section.

fc3s2k · 29 December 2010, 02:59 PM

BLACK SUB C!!!
that's my vote

malnik · 29 December 2010, 03:19 PM

Black Sub-C is suitable for any occasion.
