Green hulk or Steel YM2

I currently own a steel gmt 2. Which would be a better investment in the long term and overall a better couple.

Overall a better couple I'd say the Hulk... Better investment I'd also say the Hulk now bring on the "Rolex isn't an investment" police... Although, I agree I don't see watches as an investment but now be prepared for a bashing.

Yeah investment in the sense that it will be worth plus or minus 1000 bucks within a few years when I trade it in.

Nobody knows what 2 years will bring.

Buy what you like so you don't have to trade it in.

Usually investments are meant to make a profit and not plus or minus something. If that's your basis on the decision then just flip a coin.

An overall better couple imo is sub/gmt. The YMII is a gimmick and you'll never use the regatta chronograph

Are you under the impression that hulks can be any colour other than green?

I'd have the LVc and YM2, really liked it when I tried it on again recently. LVc and GMT are in a similar space.

I've owned both at different times, if I was buying one again I'd go YM2, mostly because much prefer a pcl bracelet to brushed

If there were ever two Rolex references I’d need to try on before buying it’s be those two ...(maybe the DSSD as well)

I prefer the Hulk hands down. I have always liked the Submariner line-up and the Hulk is special.
