Thinking of buying a green hulk sub next? Own 116610LN

My birthday is in November I'm thinking of buying a green hulk ceramic sub. I currently own the 116610LN and its my daily. I love it and think it's perfect for me. I did see the green one at the time but was afraid and didn't pull the trigger. I'm a huge fan of subs. I wanted my first to be a black one. I can't stop thinking about the green hulk sub. Will it be silly to own 2 almost identical watches in different color? I think I've worked hard enough to award myself a green hulk sub for my 30th bday. Anyone own both want to chime in and post pics would be great. Thanks TRF!

If you think the sub is the perfect watch then why not, you can wear the LN as your daily and the LV when you want that little bit extra or at weekends. They would make a great pair

Just do it...they are similar but different. If you decided later you only need one...you can always flip it easily.

No, go for it, stunning watch, but after 6 months review them and see if maybe you want to move the LNc on for a BLNR or something a little different.

Sure, if the love is there, then do it!

I owned both at one point but the LN got zero wrist time once I got the LV, so it had to go.

I own both and love both. Similar but very different due to the color.

No, it's not silly at all! If you like Subs, go for it! The LN and LV make a wonderful pair.

many breitling owners have the same watch in different colors.

The green sub is definitely a twist on a classic, I'd do it. I like the dial on the green too.

LV for your 30th, TT for your 31st and all gold for your 32nd.

Go for it.
