Gmt always beats the sub in versatility and that cannot be debated (and this is from someone who owns a sub). The other factor is the Blue/black color combo Is a bit more subdued then the green dial. The hulk has a very pastel kelly green which I don’t find very versatile at all.

I can’t think of one particular thing that is so black and white it puts one ahead of the other. They both have positive qualities and perhaps drawbacks too. It’s a personal choice. Your wrist will make the call after seeing them both I presume.

Get both and put the hulk bracelet on the GMT. Then sell the hulk with the jubilee on it.

This is it. I own both but later sold off the LVC and still have the new BLNR.

Yes I did, but I also have the LN and found myself wearing it more than the BLNR - apparently they're the same watch... so thats where my confusion is at

My other question would be - do you guys think that the GREEN is going to be just a "fad" in a couple of years?

I know Rolex is all about the green but will this be a thing of the past?

Love the new BLNR, but in this case, with the LN already, I’d go with the Hulk. But...ONLY...if you like it better, not for the hype.

I still say keep the BLNR, one day is not long enough to make a decision IMO

It depends on your taste I like the hulk but I'm not sure its as versatile as the bat man in terms of color.

I would pick the 116610LV Submariner. I'm on the "list" with my AD and I'm told the wait is a year for this one. I hope that is not the case for I was able to get the 126600 SD43 with them in 3 weeks time, first-time buyer too.

I have both watches. The Hulk is a beautiful watch but I tend to wear the Batman on jubilee (Batgirl) more often. The blue and black goes with everything. The green is challenging wear.

Oh boy, tough decision! They're both so great. I would love an option for "both", but if I can only have one...

I think I'm gonna vote batgirl. By a hair.

Yeah tough decision but here’s my thought - Hulk dates back a long time where as the new GMT on jubilee is only a year old so there’s probably not too many around but I may be wrong

I have the Hulk and absolute it love it, is a great watch.
