For OWG guy - 24/7/365 wear time. BLNR or Hulk?

What would you choose and why?

I'm OWG guy and actually own LVc but thinking to trade for BLNR. Good or bad idea?

Here bellow pictured my LVc and BLNR on my wrist too.

BLNR might be a better choice if it is your only one.

for me, the LVc is more versatile and the dial is so nice, so, LVc, easily.

I think "OWG" stands for "one-watch guy," so saying "OWG guy" is redundant.

I think either watch makes a great only-watch. The Sub is already on your wrist, so I see no need to make the jump to the BLNR unless you need the GMT feature. For me, I wouldn't use it, and I think the fourth hand would just get in the way.

If you were deciding which of the two to buy I'd say BLNR. But since you own the LV I'd stick with that, it's a great Sub version and not seen in the wild often.

I'd be happy with either as a OWG since you already have the LVC stick with that

How much use would you get from the GMT? If not much, I'd stick with the LVc. It's a beaut

I agree!!:thumbs:

2 perfect watches....Green Sub with brushed bracelet and GMT II BLNR with PCL bracelet. All done and with only 2 they will both get ample wrist time!

If you already own the LVc and it's working for you, then stick with it.

One watch only? LVC - Multiple watches? LVC my LVC has been a standalone piece and part of a collection at different times and it gets most , if not all of the wrist time.

Both Classics. Comes down to personal taste. But you can't go wrong trading for BLNR, and scratch that new watch itch in the process. :D

As a owner of the Hulk I say keep the Sub. The BLNR is beautiful as others have said but make sure you need that complication. Thats what prevents me from buying it.

I know that the one watch guy wants one watch but he already owns it with the Hulk. Become the one watch guy at a time and pick up the BLNR and keep the Hulk. a little variety can sometimes be good.
