Bumblebee for me too.

Hi,

The LV is an LE and some find that intrinsically more appealing over even a limited production like the BB.

That aside, I find the LV too "dark"  - red and black are very powerful together but maybe too much so, dark and brooding, and has low contrast (red has very low visibility in low light, then coupled with black case and dial...)

The LV is "single source" (it was done for a specific retail client, but of course with many doors)=whether one thinks this is good or bad depends on the buyers personally circumstances.

And when I called friends in that dealership (owners) to ask them more about the LE, they didn't bother to call me back, so that left a bad taste in my mouth. Besides being a "friend," that's just bad business practice (they apparently are doing so well they don't care about li'l ole me anymore, either as a journalist or possible retail customer, since they didn't know what I was calling about.)

I agree there is JUSTa little too much yellow on the BB but overall, I like it much better for all the reasons above, plus the case materials.

Cheers,

TM
