Need to decide b/w Batman and Hulk (again, after owning both before) but there's more

[ra77man]

So I currently own:
1. White DaytonaC
2. PEPSI BLRO
3. AP ROC blue dial

In a days time I'll be trading in another watch and might want to pick another rolex up. I like pcls, I'm neutral on the jubilee bracelet (if given an opportunity to put my pepsi on oyster, I'd do it in a heartbeat), I like the fit and comfort and ofcourse the dial of the daytona and want every watch to fit like that. Even a sub seems like a lard on my wrist compared to the Daytona (which I wear casually and formally).

What I don't have is a standard dark bezel rolex diver.

Have been contemplating:
1. The Hulk (cuz black sub would be too boring)
2. Batman (have worn and sold it twice and love it second to my Daytona)
3. Rose Gold Ceramic Bezel Yatch-Master 40 (It has the look of the sub, the sexy rose gold, and the sexy rubber strap) - just bad resale only
4. There might be an AP 15500 blue which I would essentially trade for my AP Chronograph blue for - maybe.
5. There's also the James Cameron SD but it's way too lunky and top-sided for me. (basically wearing a daytona has spoilt by standards of how a watch should sit and move on a wrist - and now I judge all watches by the same standard)
6. Then there's also a white gold daytona on strap. Should I swap that for my SS WhiteC daytona? how heavy would it be? i don't know. For me it's imortantn for the watch to not be a brick.

What would you recommend?

With all those bracelets a rubber strap is a nice addition- the Rose gold yachtmaster would be my choice

Id probably go with an AP ROO or SS SkyD.

Had the SkyD - too big and lunky and there's an overhang on my wrist.

Had AP ROOs - decent fit, but heavy (SS), was interested in the ghost cuz it's titanium but will decide when I see it in person

[wulin]

Definitely Hulk since you already have a Pepsi.

[DRuss]

The Hulk works for me any day any time.

[Carry The Interest]

Your current collection is awesome - so big congrats on that.

If it was me in your shoes, I'd try to go for the 15500 in blue. I'd swap the AP ROO out for the 15500 and keep the others two. That trio would personally make me a VERY happy man.

[Wrist Watcher]

Hulk. It remains my favorite watch, even over the white DaytonaC. Don't get me wrong. I love the BLNR, but it is definitely below the Hulk and Daytona on my list.

10-4 on the SkyD. What size is your wrist? Figured if you could wear a ROC or 15400/500 the SkyD would be in the right ballpark.

Maybe a TI or CE ROO? 26470IO or 26480TI (new) or used CE Diver?

[jaychief]

What about a 50th anniversary sub ? They are super cool !!!

I have a 15400 and a 7" wrist, and the Skydweller is too big for my taste too. Although the thickness has more to do with it than the lug to lug.



I prefer the BLNR to the hulk, but in your case, with the pepsi, I'd probably pick the hulk. (Although me personally, I'd pick a sub no date with your collection)

I'd probably also trade the ROC for the blue 15500. and keep the white daytona.

[jaychief]

Personally I prefer to my hulk

Not a diver per se, but have you thought about the RG 116515LN with the black dial?

Otherwise, seems like the RG YM gives you the most diversity. Would worry less about re-sale and focus more on buying it right and then enjoying it. =)

Lastly, maybe the most obvious decision is just to buy a regular PCL bracelet and slap it on the Pepsi...

My wrist is around 6.75

Yeah it was more thickness responsible for the overhang.

That's just it, there's literally no pre-owned RG YM available to be able to buy right. Also - I was informed that a regular PCL can't go on the BLRO. Is that incorrect? If so, that would be great.

[ra77man]

For everyone suggesting the hulk - yes, I've considered it but it's gone up to around USD 15,000 which to me seems ridiculous to pay. I remember buying it last year at around USD 12,250!

[inadeje]

Black 26331ST ROC - If you like the Daytona and have the white dial, the AP Chrono in Black would really suit your collection

[scopedude]

Hulk, definitely

How much did you sell/trade it for?

[Terrakot]

I’d add PP Aquanaut

I've had one (basic SS aquanaut) which I sold earlier this year - was too thin and delicate for me. I need a bit more wrist presence.

RG YM OF looks great. It would be the first OF on my wish list.

[Locust]

If you want the fit of the Daytona yachtmaster blue

[carolina23]

Hulk, perfect fit!

[brmeyers]

I would go Hulk, owned it twice and might be the only watch I own three times.
The gold laced green sunburst dial is a beauty to behold.

[MJ8]

Hulk

[Gimoozaabi]

Congrats on the great collection! Hulk will complement it nicely - strikingly beautiful watch!

Yes - I'm just waiting to get one for the right price. As it turns out, they're quite rare to find pre-owned.

Yes - I like both the blue and the grey dials.

Coincidentally I've owned the Batman twice and was considering getting that with the Pepsi but felt that if I did - It would end up becoming my default go-to watch while the Pepsi gathers dust lol!

[TswaneNguni]

Batman or Hulk .Easiest to flip .
