hello
I'm new to this forum, I am planning to buy my first rolex as a prize to get my degree in architecture next year.
my choice is submariner, but I have not decided whether black or green, and explained why: this is probably my only Rolex in my life, the dilemma is: buy a classic as the black sub, or something more outstanding and captor of looks like Green sub.
thank you very much for your advice.

You need to get to an AD and try both on. That's the only way you'll know which watch appeals to you the most.

Why not get them both

Yep! This is seriously underrated advice. No amount of guys on a forum can tell you what looks best on your wrist to you.

kctt · 21 December 2010, 03:51 PM

I would buy black. Personally, I think the green will go out of fashion.

wokafu · 21 December 2010, 04:09 PM

go BLACK cause once you go Black you'll never turn back...:P

You just need to try them both, and go for one that suits you better.
I never tried any of them, but on pictures I prefer green one.

Black matches with most items of clothing!

cwwhk · 24 December 2010, 07:09 AM

Black is timeless classic, but I like the LV because it is different.

MortgageGuy · 24 December 2010, 04:01 PM

As I have both the green is def. my favorite however this being said I would NOT buy the green as my only watch. The green does stand out quite a bit more than the balck even though the dial looks darker in different light.

I would go with the black and add the green in the future

moby33 · 24 December 2010, 04:43 PM

As others have said, if it's going to be your one & only, I would definitely recommend black.

I too would agree, plus with green everyone will be looking at your wrist, not you. Perhaps there are advantages to that as well, up to you ;)

If it has to be ceramic then the LN. Its more understated & can be worn in any situation (even when diving...). I've had both & the LV sunburst dial is 1st class, but the bezel.. I kept telling myself I liked it, but I always ended up wearing the LN. FYI, I 'upgraded' from a 16610 and found the larger maxi style casing to be uncomfortable, regardless of bracelet sizing.

Regards,

Steve.

Go with the black sub. You won't be disappointed.
