Neither. You should be all set with the “bacon blue”. Hard to top bacon. Haha couldn’t resist. Honestly I would go LV given your collection. If it was a 1 or 2 watch collection then I’d go LN

IMHO it is hard to wear a Hulk as a daily. But since you have other options it may give your collection some color.

Black is classic and timeless piece that can be worn everyday any occasion. Hulk really has a mesmerising dial but wouldn’t wear this watch everyday for me. Hulk could prove to be a great investment for the future if discontinued as long as you aren’t paying too much for it.

I've owned both, I still have the black but sold my Hulk. I loved it, but I didn't wear it as much as I should. It just never really seemed appropriate, and clashed with what I was wearing. My black sub is always appropriate and clean and works with everything.

Black Submariner or Green Submariner (HULK)

I went green and after 4 months I got bored of the Hulk, started looking kinda dull for my taste and liking.. black Sub is the ultimate classic but you have a lot of black dial watches, maybe consider adding some gold and blue with the 116613LB? Good luck

By the way I have a Kermit and it’s gorgeous, best watch ever had, combined the green and the black of both worlds with a nice green insert with contrast and a black maxi dial..

Black is classic. Green (sorry) looks like a toy watch to me.
Personal preference only.

I added a hulk earlier this year. It was a nice change of pace in a large collection, very niche but also very good job in that niche. I definitely wouldn’t daily the hulk, and admittedly I only wear it maybe once a month. But it’s a nice change when I do, just a very expensive use in the collection.

I have both, as well as the SD43. The Hulk gets way more wrist time, followed by the SD 43. In my opinion the green dial is far more interesting and attractive than the LN.

I would agree IF if had a flat/matte green dial. That green sunburst is something else and makes the watch IMO

Am I going to have too many black dial in my collection, if I were going for black SUB? so I want to ask you guys in here what move I should make base on my watch collection. The price for those 2 are approx $4K different.


Thank you in Advance.
why not both?
