Pick one of each

1. 116610LV or 126610LV
2. 116619LB or 126619LB

Curious how many of you would stick with the same look (e.g. pick both full dial colors or both black dials) or switch it up and take one of each look.

116610LV & 116619LB is my pick! You should have made this a poll question!

116610LV and 116619LB for me as I find colour or sunburst much more interesting than flat black

I lean heavily towards 116610LV and 116619LB as well. That being said, the darker/flat dials look great. I don't fault anyone for liking them better.

As above.

Don’t like the green dial and not a huge fan of the blue either, but I don’t think the blue bezel works at all well with a black dial.

I like both the Hulk and Kermit II but for PM Sub I would go for Yellow Gold (either version).

116610LV and 116619LB.

I love the flat blue dial on the 116619LB - it just looks so much more special than the 126619LB.

I'm not actually much of a fan of either the 116610LV or the 126610LV, but because of the Supercase (which I prefer) and the good ol' 3135 movement, I'd take the 116610LV every single time.

Take whichever I can get since I can’t get anything from several ADs.

I prefer the Hulk and the Smurf. It is about the color of the dial.

While I like the Hulk, the 12XXXX Submariners are just so close to perfect, I would choose any 12XXXX iteration over any 11XXXX version.

Rolex upgraded the cases and downgraded the dials……good for hulk and smurf owners that’s for sure…..my hulk is never going anywhere

Easy answer on the steel versions: 12 series. I prefer the case shape and lugs, and the green-on-green is too much green for me.

WG is a bit harder. I like the blue-on-blue of the 11 series, but again, the silhouette of the 12. Would ultimately probably go for the latter.

Not even close for me. The Smurf and the Hulk. "The Dial, The Dial, it is all about the Dial". Well for me at least.

Yep. Agree 100%.

Edit: I think I’m agreeing to the 11 series models….

Dials + less wide bracelet & clasp.
