This one, but I may be slightly biased after wearing it everyday for 5 years. Showering, swimming in pools and oceans, sleeping it never leaves my wrist.

I would go with the hulk, feels more unique and adds some diversity in a sea of black Subs. Usually this is on my wrist for the majority of the week.

Black sub date is one of the most versatile watches the Rolex offers. The hulk, on the other hand, while still a great watch, is far less versatile. For example you probably wouldn't wear it to a wedding or funeral, or to church on Sundays, or to work with a suit that doesn't match...etc. etc.

I actually wear the LV daily, have done for four years.

It is a special watch.

Both are great pieces, good luck on a hard choice.

For a one watch daily wear, go with the black.

Get the LV and then pick up the new SD for your black dial diver.

I have a TT date sub that I don't wear all that much. I have a no-date sub that I wear all the time - not quite a daily watch, but close. And yet I found myself drawn to the Hulk. And it's a hard thing as I really would like a GMT IIc. Considering that you'll spend about the same for the Hulk or the BLNR, it's a hard choice. I have some non-Rolex GMT watches (Omega Planet Ocean) and an easy to adjust hour hand watch (Omega Globemaster), so it's hard to justify a BLNR. Although it's hard to justify a third sub. Especially since I have a JC Deep Sea.

My next Rolex will be either the BLNR or the Hulk. The Hulk is definitely a think about what you're wearing watch while one of the subs could go with just about anything.

Sure is nice having these tough 1st world decisions...

Black is more versatile, but lvc is the clear choice unless five digit subs.

Even though I have both if I could only have one as an everyday watch it would definitely be the black without a doubt

There is no wrong choice, when you try them both on I'm sure one will stand out for you. I'd be happy with either.

I love the Hulk, but you cannot go wrong with black. It will almost always match.

Black for me. That way you don't have to explain to people why your £6,600 watch is named a character in a comic

I tried the LVc and didn't like it so it would be black for me.

In your case, however, I would buy both, keep them stickered, decide which one to keep ans sell the other. You'd probably get you money back on the LN and make a small profit on the LV as you're in the UK.

If you buy both you may even get a small discount

Get the Hulk. You can always add the black later if you need it.
