When all is said and done though I am very thankful I waited and got the hulk. My reason for not buying it at that exact moment was I didn’t want the dealer to disregard my place in line for the hulk or think I was going to flip the hulk like I would have had to do to buy the hulk. You are in the exact opposite situation I was.

You have done well. How do you like the Hulk? Have you got the itch for the Batman?

As for which ones will/will not be discontinued, nobody knows, maybe Batman will be discontinued, maybe it will be updated with new movements, Same for Hulk. If you like Hulk and will enjoy it, buy it. Worst case scenario you don't like it and sell it to get a Batman. BLNR does nothing for me so answer is simple, Hulk.

I much prefer the BLNR over the Hulk...but I would buy a Hulk at retail in a second. Can't go wrong with either.

Good choice to purchase it....enjoy it!

I had both, sold the BLNR and kept the hulk.

What does that tell you? Get the Hulk and don't look back!

I've had the BLNR for 4 years. Great watch, and my go-to for business travel. I too, never appreciated the LV. Seen it countless times at AD's over the years since it was introduced, but never really looked closely enough at it.

Fast forward to last year and I had the chance to really see one up close in varying lighting scenario's and BAM! Could not get it off my brain. Picked my LV up last summer and haven't looked back. It's my favorite piece and now my BLNR only gets wrist time for my business travels. When the LV's not on my wrist, I miss it. Weird, but true.

FWIW, I'm planning on selling my BLNR when my BLRO finally arrives, when ever that is. Between my BLRN and my LV, the LV wins.

The hulk is up there in my mind as one of the best standout pieces for a while (this could be argued by some but to each their own) - I really love it.

I cannot accept a whole green watch strapped on my wrist, so I would opt for the BLNR for sure.

No desire for the Batman, I waited so long for this and thoroughly enjoy it every day. Will get wife something next but my intent is to where this daily until my son graduates. At that point I will get something else. I also have a few vintage watches should I want to change it up.

I was not totally impressed with the LVC when i first saw it but made the turn around when I tried it on outside the AD store. The watch has different shades of green at various light condition. Get the LVC while still available. Good luck.

I own both and absolutely love them in different ways. I feel like the Hulk wears slightly bigger and the green is amazing. Also, I can't decide if the bling from the Batman's PCLs draws more attention or the Hulk's green dial, but, as they both stand out quite a bit, sometimes I have to wear the LN SubC on black rubber for more low key situations.

I end up wearing the Hulk more often because I think it has more personality (watchonality?), but love alternating between the two.

Hulk. But the real elephant in the room is they actually held the watch for you not moving onto the next person that would buy it without seeing it. Good for you and great AD. Enjoy the hulk wait to see what happens with the other. I had both but wore the hulk more.

Exactly! They were very nice about it, I guess it helped that we have a working relationship with them.

Have both. I think the Hulk is def more unique. I give the edge to the Hulk but both are great!

I can't stand the PCL on the GMT. The Hulk is perfection in my mind.
If you like both, honestly just get whichever one you AD is offering.
