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

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.

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.

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 |

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

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

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! |
