I have owned both, but the Hulk is my favorite! If you want blue, go for the 116619LB.

Dump the Hulk and for go Blue.

I'm no fan of Green as I have never owned any clothing that would go with it. Now blue....blue goes with everything I wear.

I have had various blacks, blues and whites in the Rolex line up and been quite happy.

The LV is more my style. Less flashy and almost less recognizable than the LN version. That and it's the Rolex Green. Gotta have it!

Yes, for the new sunburst I think I would trade any SS Rolex right now.

can't vote as too tough of a question. Both are great. I own both and other watches would go before those two.

I'm trying to pick out between the 2- hulk v. bluesy.

It depends. I've tried on the Bluesy, but not the hulk so here are my thoughts.

The Hulk has color, but it's not so colorful and playful- it's still work appropriate, something I would feel comfortable wearing at the office. The green looks right on the Sub, it looks like a "tool watch" color to me, and it's got the sunburst dial to make it more interesting over the standard black subs. And I love green on a Rolex. I see this as a step up in terms of flash/playfulness from a Sub. It's somewhat polarizing due to the green, but it's a SS Sub. I'd also imagine this would retain its value better than the Bluesy.

The Bluesy on the other hand, it's flash, it's showy, it's a jewel of a mechanical watch. This is something I would probably not wear to work. Unless it's winter and it's hidden underneath my shirt and sweater sleeve. This is more of a polarizing design. To me, this is the fun, weekend, mid-life crisis watch.

So two totally different designs, with two totally different emotions to it... can't say which one. I was leaning toward the bluesy, but then saw a bunch of hulks here and now want a hulk again...

Good analysis. I agonized between the two and ended up buying the Hulk. I may buy the YG Blue Sub in the future. I prefer solid metals over TT (and I've owned both). For a Sub, in order of preference: first SS, then Gold (yellow or white), then TT. For Daytona, SS, then Gold or Platinum, then TT.

I own an old style 16613 Bluesy and just bought the Hulk 2 months ago, so I would have to say own both. They both have sunburst dials that really pop in natural light. I really enjoy alternating between the two Subs and some days I wear one in the morning then switch to the other in the afternoon. Cannot make a bad decision between these two watches!

LVC for me.

16613 might make it a tougher choice.

Keep the Hulk. Trade the Daytona for the bluesy.

The gold is a scratch magnet and way to flashy for my tastes and I don't like the polished links. If they only made the blue in SS
