For no reason other than curiosity, which one is your favorite and why? Seems like GMT is more popular than Sub for now, but I think a lot of that stems from the popularity of the Pepsi. Anecdotally, the new 12 series LV and the BLNR seem to be about as difficult to obtain at retail. Just want to see what the community thinks about these two awesome watches head to head!

travisb · 13 November 2022, 06:22 AM

The LV and it's not even close for me.
The BLNR never stuck with me and I tried more than once.

S.Explorer · 13 November 2022, 06:23 AM

BLNR colours don't work for me like the BLRO does. I quite like green so it'll be the Sub LV over the GMT BLNR.

dontbeshort · 13 November 2022, 06:39 AM

Very lucky to own both …. It’s a landslide victory for the LV IMHO. The BLNR is fab too

Bxtek · 13 November 2022, 06:59 AM

BLNR over the LV Sub for me. I love the bezel with the colors, also the bold styling of the numbers. I also like the GMT feature. Jubilee is big preference for me which is not available on the Sub. BLNR is my choice between the two without hesitation.

Tim Plains · 13 November 2022, 07:06 AM

BLNR. I think green bezels look terrible.

Benzsiam · 13 November 2022, 07:07 AM

Love both and have both.

mykii · 13 November 2022, 07:16 AM

If you want a Green rolex there is only one worth the premium and worth buying - the Hulk.

This is easy, it's BLNR everyday for me.

Had the Pepsi, BLNR is still here.

Voted with my wallet.

Keepchasing · 13 November 2022, 07:21 AM

BLNR for me. I like the smaller lugs on the LV but I wish they could have done it without increasing the width of the bracelet.

I think the BLNR is more useful but i never did like the color combo. Meanwhile I loved the first LV, didn’t like the 2nd with green dial, but love the aesthetic of its third iteration.

Vince M. · 13 November 2022, 07:58 AM

I have a BLNR. I think the LV sub is better.

Driver8 · 13 November 2022, 08:00 AM

BLNR, and it’s not even close.

Mystro · 13 November 2022, 08:38 AM

brandrea · 13 November 2022, 08:43 AM

The LVC for me.

I owned the BLNR for about a year and it just didn’t stick.

Also, I’d take the function of a dive watch over the GMT complication.

Watchsprings · 13 November 2022, 08:51 AM

Waiting on a GMT, once I get it then on to the LV… waiting list.

sski · 13 November 2022, 08:57 AM

had the LV....ended up trading it.
Planning on getting BLNR, hopefully it sticks around once in. (i reckon should be superb on Jubilee)

gmtmister · 13 November 2022, 09:07 AM

LV for me.
I had both (and a BLRO) and traded in the BLNR

28mm · 13 November 2022, 09:23 AM

I have them both and hadn't seen either until I got the call.. LV came in first and I love it...BLNR second and love it too.

GMT's are a little more comfortable for me but this is pure personal preference..Both great..can't see 'hating' either.

A bit of green and a gmt function. Boom!

Have both and no way I could pick a favorite out of those two references. Very different watches.

Quy · 13 November 2022, 10:07 AM

LV if you have a few watches in your collection already and you want a pop of color.

Otherwise, BLNR easily for the win. GMT complication, jubilee bracelet and the color way suits my lifestyle and wardrobe a lot better.

The only function leaving me "green" with envy is the glidelock clasp.

Can’t go wrong with either. Both have absolutely unique qualities

SLWoodster · 13 November 2022, 11:32 AM

I own both. Just own both. I'm not sure why it needs to be a debate between the two.

denmanproject · 13 November 2022, 11:46 AM

BLNR is just so good

Just for fun? I don’t have a desire to own both. Glad you get to enjoy them both though.

Don't mind the colour but the date wheel throws me
