I think you should definitely go long on both of them - aggressively so!

Historically watches have been a great investment asset class so you really can't lose, especially with how rare these green dials are and the limited production volume on them!

I think padi can also chime in here with some great investment advice

Kermit is the affectionate name for the original 2003 Sub Date LV and commands quite a premium now days.

The other is a cup of coffee and not worth much at all after a couple of hours.

Neither of these watches have a green dial. I believe you meant green bezel.

Yes, I'm sure Padi will chime in!

Yes, Padi is the MAN! when it comes to watches as an ‘investment’ threads.

OP, I’m sure he’ll be along shortly.

Smart investors are buying Omega and Hublot. Can't miss with any of their special editions.

The retail price certainly hasn't dropped, if you pay way over RRP it's a definite gamble, this one didn't pay off, move on.

The tell is as obvious as using the wrong font on a fake dial. He didn’t use the currency symbols. Not Padi.
