Buying a Hulk or Sky Dweller tomorrow - which would you choose?

[dchernikoff]

Hulk. I tried a SkyD on at my AD and it is HUGE! Like wearing a hubcap on your wrist, and not comfortable at all. The Hulk does have presence but feels more comfortable (to me), and frankly I like the green and how the dial changes in different light. I liked the functionality of the SkyD, but I already have a GMT and after seeing the SkyD in person it's just not for me. I'm waiting for a Hulk from my AD, but may end up going gray...

SkyD looks and fits fine on my 7.25" wrist. It's large, but not overly so. Has much to offer over the LV. Gawd I how I hate that green. I like the Sub and have one, but NO LV.

Hulk, SkyD didn't fit well on my wrist.

I have and love my LVc. However, side by side, I'd go for the SkyD. The complications it has are useful and interesting. I think it is also a more versatile piece to dress up for work or dress down for weekends. My personal favorite is the SS Black followed by the white. I know the blue is the most sought after. I don't know why but I associate blue dials with Seiko, omegas and citizens. Not knocking those brands, it's just what I saw on those at a young and impressionable age

LVc, not a lover of Skydweller.

Hulk. I'm biased though.

I always thought the Hulk was ugly until I saw it in person. Its sunburst green dial won me over fairly quickly. Some say it'll be discontinued but I have my doubts.

The white-dial sky-dweller is, in my humble, substantially underrated- and if I was the universe's ruler (ha), it'd be the one with the biggest premium as opposed to the blue. Blue is nice I guess, but the white features a soft elegance that you couldn't take your eyes off.

I don't know what the price you're paying for both is. However, don't overpay on the premium for the Hulk just yet.

skydweller.

the hulk is definitely NOT ugly.

but i already have one of them.

[antelope]

SD. I have both but the SD is fun and never get tired of that beautiful blue dial

Hulk is a 2018 and sky Dweller also 2018, stainless steel white dial.

Sky Dweller is £1500 more.

Which would you buy and why?

What's your favorite ice cream flavor and why? Mine is chocolate, because it tastes like chocolate.

Tough choice. I have both, Hulk and White Skydweller. Love them both. But I am madly in love with the Skydweller. Love the look, it’s complex movement, dressy appearance.

[s46]

hands down the sky dweller over the hulk any day

quite frankly the hulk is butt ugly im sorry to say

the sky dweller is rolex most complicated movement and has functions anyone would use and the white dial is far more classy than the hyped up blue dial

[Singslinger]

I have the green Sub so I'd pick the SD.

If I didn't own the green Sub, I'd still pick the SkyD - it's Rolex's best complication for an arguably reasonable price, you hardly see any in the wild and it's a very good looking watch.

Even though not a fan of hulk because to green and lugs are kind of fat, I think it’s better than wearing a dinner plate on my wrist in the SkyD

I got the Seiko vibe as well :)

My vote is for white dial Sky D

[efthi]

I never had the SkyD but looks very much more interesting.. I had the Hulk and started looking kinda dull after a couple of months, a month later I got rid off of it

SkyD! No question.

[Strummer25]

Sky for me, really don’t care for the green. Whatever you decide congratulations and enjoy in good health

[danyvw]

SkyD but not white dial please?

[abozz]

SkyDweller, a annual calendar made by Rolex!!! A grail calibre!

I have owned several of both but only still have the Hulk.

SkyD. It wears nice with everything (shorts to jeans to suit), it has two fantastic and useful complications (GMT and annual calendar), better power reserve (take it off on Friday night and grab and go Monday morning), and the white dial is something else.

Hulk all the way

[Xtralarg]

Hulk is all hype, veblen. SkyD at retail is the way to go.

[robinmgb]

Thanks for all your replies.
When I saw them side by side I much preferred the hulk, I'm more in to the sports watch look it seems!

[quakeroatmeal]

My vote is for the Skydweller!

Ouch, that picture looks painfully tight!

But that's just my personal taste. Its an unconventional watch with movement and function to match.

Just don't like the dial.

My thoughts, precisely. Also can't get over the disc being off center, and the overall watch looking like a flying saucer.

Sub C LV would be my choice

You made the right choice for you. Enjoy it for many years!
