BLNR vs. HULK

Hi Everyone:

I am getting an opportunity to buy a hulk or batman directly from an AD, they have a shipment coming in February. So the big question is: what would you pick? Batman or Hulk? Hulk I am getting for $ 8750 and the Batman for $ 8700, so not a big difference in price....please advise...

they both feel different on the wrist, the hulk is heavier but has a better adjustment clasp, also the hulk case is slightly wider, the case and bracelet is more in proportion on the blnr

It doesn’t matter.

You’ll end up buying both eventually.

I would try them both on, walk around the store, look in mirrors, and go with your gut

HULK wins that dial is mesmerizing.

Buy both... seems like in todays market you could sell for MSRP or above and since you're buying below it seems like a no brainer. Gives you more time to make a decision!

Good luck and enjoy

Having both, the LV gets more wrist time for me than the BLNR. But before I had either, I would’ve guessed the opposite would happen. You never know until you wear them. Get both if possible and sell one later if you wish.

Although Batman has some nifty gadgets and tricks , ultimately hulk “smash”

But as watches I would say about equal in stature

Hulk!

The BLNR is a great watch, but I love that green dial

BLNR will be more versatile. For sure.

But the LVC will be sexier. For sure.

Not that the LVC is not versatile, or the BLNR not sexy, but one is always more so than the other.
