I am in need of some advice, huge advice.

I cannot decide between the 116610LV (green Sub) or the 116610LN (black Sub). I love the green Sub, but I fear that it won't go well with everything. I love the black Sub, but it feels too plain. I wear neutral colors, mostly, and I feel like matching everything won't be a big deal. However, my wardrobe and taste can change. The black Sub is such a classic and I feel like a bad ass, but everyone has a black Sub.

What would your advice be? I need help.

P.S. this is my first watch.

Green. Super unique. So what if it doesn't go well with everything. It's a Rolex and you can get away with it.

My advice is keep looking till you find a watch that really leaves no doubts in your mind.

brucethemanlee · 18 February 2017, 01:49 PM

First watch?
Go with black sub

Dude, you are the man! I was hoping the first person says green just to confirm my bias. I want to entertain more opinions just to see what others have to say.

Subs leave no doubt, it's just color preference at this point.

SeaDweller50 · 18 February 2017, 01:50 PM

100 percent LN.

What did you go with for your first watch?

armen34 · 18 February 2017, 01:56 PM

If you're set on a sub go with LN, unless you're daring and want to get some gold with the bluesy 116613

Adam makes a salient point. Keep looking until there is no doubt in your mind. You're the only one that can choose the right watch, no amount of comment from the peanut gallery is going to resolve your indecision satisfactorily.

What does the little man inside you say? You've got to listen to the little man. The little man knows all.

Get the LV .... its unique, changes color from green to almost black and goes with more things than you will ever expect !

You make a clear point. I was just hoping to get the answer that I wanted from the community. Green is my "no doubt", it wanted to confirm my bias. Thank you for the reply.

You are on point. The LV is super unique and it stands out. When I tried it on, I could see the color shifting in every spectrum.

Little man says green.

hambone1983 · 18 February 2017, 02:28 PM

I agree that a black sub is a bit plain and you can't swing Jackson Stone's cat around by the tail without hitting 3 or 4 people wearing one. If I ever do the black-on-black thing I'll probably get a Tudor instead.

If you wear neutral colors, a green sub won't be clashing with anything. And as others have said, it just doesn't wear nearly as green as it looks in pictures.

zjd168 · 18 February 2017, 02:30 PM

Hulk. If you like the black one you can always easily pick up one in the future and the choices will be abundant, date vs no date, 6 digits vs 5 digits or vintage ...

IlDuce · 18 February 2017, 02:34 PM

Thanks for the advice, you guys are both on point.

You definitely will encounter others with the same black sub. Even the counterfeits will leave you upset because of how frequently you see them. I know you don't see subs as often as we make it out to be, but chances are someone has a black sub in the room.

Matching watches to outfits is so 90's... Anything goes these days, and I like it! I prefer that my watch doesn't match, so it sticks out MORE!

I like that concept. It definitely makes sense. Green it is!

Danny83 · 18 February 2017, 02:37 PM

Go green....this was my incoming shot from last month

WS9D · 18 February 2017, 02:38 PM

If LV is what you really want, grab it. If you tire of it, you can flip it pretty easily for a LN.

Yea, you are right about flipping it.

natosub · 18 February 2017, 03:05 PM

For you first or only you cannot beat a black Submariner or Sub Date.

The LV is nice as well, but would not by my only Rolex.

I'm in tech so I wear jeans, basic top like sweater or hoody, sneakers, and green sub. Who cares. And yes 116610lv is my first Rolex too.

If you are not feeling either, don't buy either. Why would you buy a watch based on other people's preference?

gossbeau · 18 February 2017, 04:13 PM

Lunette Verte all day!! No disrespect to other owners but I found the LN to be a bit monotonous after a while!!
