Icon5 16610lv or 116610lv (Hulk)

Hi everyone,
I have a Mark I dial 16610LV and a 116610LV ceramic and have to let one go, I know this is a personal preference but, I would like to hear your opinion.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

I prefer the Sub C Hulk (116610), but if there is any chance that you will want to buy one of them back in the future, then the logical choice would be to sell the LVC because it is the easiest one to re-buy.

Otherwise, it is just personal preference.

LVC is a keeper. Sad to see one of the great subs has to go.

In your situation, I'd part with the ceramic sub.

I think it will be much easier to reacquire later on and you will almost certainly have the option to buy a new one from an AD for a long time to come.

That said, you may have no intention of getting the same watch again, so ultimately, keep the one you like most.

The LV will be more difficult to find later, whereas the LVC is a regular production.

Never get rid of the Mark I dial LV. OP are correct, there will be plenty of ceramic LV's in the future!

Keep the whatever you like the best, for me that would be the newer Hulk, I really like the ceramic Subs, but everyone has different taste.

x2, although I do agree with those saying that the LVC is more easily replaceable in the future

Keep the LV. It may be hard to find later and at a premium.

I don't think either will ever be "difficult to find" in the future given the number of both that are out there.
That said, keep what you enjoy most right now.

I prefer the black dial to the green dial.

I'd keep the LV.
