Thinking of buying Hulk after Bluesy purchase

So I love my bluesy, but my daily is a DJ 2 and I love the SS of my watch and the Hulk! The Bluesy is great, but pretty loud and some days I wish it was SS.
I found a few in mint condition with box/papers for the same amount as I paid for my 126613 Bluesy BNIB so I was surprised this watch is 20k in mint. I’ll probably make the leap as I love the green dial!

My daily for the last few years has been the 116610LN and I’ve no complaints - if you want the extra colour then the Hulk sounds like a good idea to me!

You'll like the Hulk if you're looking for a splash of color. The dial is magical and varies from a subdued green, almost black, to a bright brilliant emerald green. Pics always suggest it's a super bright green, but it actually wears quite nicely in real world lighting. I understand about the Bluesy, as I love its classic look, but it can be loud at times. Good luck in your search for a good example of a Hulk. Cheers!

We have similar taste as you can see in my signature ha. Definitely go w the hulk. That sunburst dial is amazing and makes standard subs a bit dull. As I grew more seasoned in the hobby I transitioned more towards color.

I have a black ceramic sub, a HULK, and I bought and sold a SMURF twice in 13 years.

Since 2011 when I picked up my HULK, the HULK has been my daily wear piece. Shooting range etc. HULK rules.

HULK SMASH !

Perfect pair, esp if you don't want black, I ended up with these two after selling 2 black subs.

The dial is stunning but it can be very subtle, the hues for green to black, make it my favourite piece.

I'd make that switch. The LV is a killer watch.
