I much prefer the BLNR, had one for a while. Don't care much for the green sub.

Batman or Hulk. Both beautiful watches. I prefer the BLNR as that GMT function is tops for me. In either case, it's your choice, go with what you like best! Good luck!

BLNR

Do you have both on hold somewhere? From what I've read here, the Green Sub is pretty popular and hard to find.

In before "buy both."

Seriously, just go with your gut...I would do gmt if just one and my logic is the complication is more useful...but I'm sure a dedicated deep diver would appreciate the additional water resistance on a sub...it's all personal same goes for aesthetics.

Thats a tough one. Personally I'd have to own a sub first.

Tough call. Personally the 116610lv speaks to me more loudly

depends what else you got in your collection.

If it's your first, probably the BLNR since you can match with almost everything. Hulk as the second or any addition...

Awesome thread.

BLNR if you want a blue coloured GMT watch.
LVC if you want a green dive watch.

What do you expect from a watch? Obviously you don't necessarily need GMT function, otherwise you wouldn't compare it to a sub.
So share with us your motivation for putting just those two on your short list?

I think this pretty much sums it up.

Such a great picture. I'm thinking of adding an LV eventually. The BLNR was my first Rolex.

Do you like a green dial/green bezel watch or do you like a black dial/blue black bezel? Do you need a dive watch or do you need a GMT function? Only you know these answers.
