Last year I went for the black LN. Mainly because I had the old model LV.

Don't get me worng, I can see the attraction of the C LV, but owning the anniversary green LV and then Rolex bring out a new Green Sub left me says no thanks to it.

So I know C LV owners love them but what one would ye go for and why?

I really like the Green Sub in the jeweler's case, I just don't think I'd be able to wear it as much as the black. So, the universal black for me all the way... Side note, every time I see a Sub in the case the retail has gone up, maybe I should have made my move a while ago....

I'm picking green because it looks awesome and is one of the few high profile colors I would personally wear. It is a very high profile green, yet is isn't tacky or blingy. If I was going to wear the watch daily, I'd say black or maybe buy a black and add a green bezel so I can switch it up.

Don't want to turn this into a price thread but I believe since I bought mine exactly one year ago retail of the LN has gone up over here by over 1000€, not helped by the 2% vat increase we had.

ok to be fair they are both amazing watches. and so different in so many ways. i think the question you might want to ask is do you like to have that subtle black that seems to match everything? or do you like a green sunburst dial that looks like different shades of colours depending on how the light hits it?

do you like something that stands out more? man its a tough choice. but since you already own a LNC i say go for it and get a LVC!!

Not sure in how many was they are different...one is green, one is not.

That green is awesome in person. Definitely different when seen live.
But as everyone says it just depends if you're feeling :mrgreen:

I voted black as I personally don't like the green dial. Now if they made one with a black dial and a green ceramic bezel (á la the original Subbie LV), then it'd be a different story. But as it stands the green dial kills it for me.

Driver,
I have often wondered if I put a green ceramic bezel on my black LN, would I like it? Probably YES. :D But I doubt I will do it.

46crew I swear I have seen a pic of that somewhere probably TRF. It looked kind if cool but IMO the black on black and green on green is perfect.

While I can appreciate the green. I wanted the icon. 116610LN is an awesome piece. I bought mine in August 2011 and it has seen two price increases.
