I would become a two watch guy if I could. What a great pair, although I prefer the gmt in black.

LVC is my favorite watch. If I could only have one though, id probably get a BLNR.

LV. You made the right choice originally. No point taking the additional hit.

I have no experience with either but the fact that you are asking the question means the Hulk isn't currently doing it for you. If you keep looking over at the BLNR when you have the LV on your wrist I think your question is answered.

BLNR is the most functional of the two, but my choice would be Hulk.

Both are amazing references. But to choose one, I would go with the BLNR. GMT function and more than enough depth rating for most folks.

But the green sunburst dial on the LV is so nice. Really can't go wrong with either.

Maybe you should consider being a two watch guy and get both. Really hard to beat this SS pair.

You made the right choice. You just want the new car smell (I do too).

LVC (IMO) unless you would use the GMT function, and even then I would probably go LVC as your one and only. Or maybe consider the classic black sub

Easy...LVc is what I went for. The blue on the BLNR bezel is too bright/vivid for my tastes.

Both very nice watches. Keep the hulk and add the BLNR. If you truly must remain a OWG , then I would pick BLNR. Green doesn't go with every occasion in my opinion, but then again that is for me and my occasions. :)

Both are awesome but since you already own the LV I'd stick with that

I had both for about a year. I then flipped the BLNR and kept the Hulk. I have some regrets selling the BLNR as it is such a great watch but I have absolutely no regrets keeping the Hulk!! The best SS watch Rolex makes in my opinion!

My thoughts, too.

But, if remaining OWG, then I would stick with the sub. Unless, of course, you have need of the GMT function of the BLNR.

I would go to the dealer, and look at both. Pick the one you like to look at better. Complications / versatility / blah blah blah. All a bunch of crap compared to which one you like the look of more. You buy a luxury watch because you like it and want it. You can wear either watch to ANY occasion ( wore my Hulk to a white tie and it looked fine), and you don't NEED a GMT hand if you can add or subtract. If it is just one watch you will have, get the one that speaks to YOU. Get the "purty one"

For OWG, go for YG Sub and call it a day.
