Hulk of course. Bluesy can be easily added later, and it may have the new movement

It would be the TT blue for me, beautiful time-piece when you see it in person.

I would not move the Hulk for the TT but would move for the SD43.

Depends if you want or like yellow gold on your watch. It’s a style question only you can ask.

Not a fan at all of two tone sport models. I think the TT blue Sub looks dated (sorry) and looks like the wearer is trying to be flashy. Love the Hulk - just have to consider in what situations would you wear green or not wear green.

I love both so I'd own both. The TT is probably more watch bang for your buck so that would be the one if only one.

Personally I find the Hulk to be a bit of a fad, whereas the bluesy is a classic. Just my humble opinion

I would keep the Hulk, not a fan of two tones..

But the TT Blue is a great choice.

^^This is really spot on. It's hard not to love them both---as long as you like a lot of color. The Hulk is much more subtle than the blue but it is the contrast of those two watches that gives you so much variety in your collection. Very different indeed on the wrist.

FWIW: there is roughly $4300.00 difference in MSRP. On the grey market that spread is a lot less when buying unworn new. Big premium for Hulk and a smaller discount on the blue.

I had a chance to buy both a couple days ago. My wife was with me and she took one look at the hulk and said "blue". I agreed seeing them side by side and only able to afford one.

Smurf>Hulk>Omega Planet Ocean>Lots of other stuff>Bluesy

But that's just my opinion. It's kind of a subjective thing, eh?

I'd go with the Hulk, as I'm just not a fan of the attention that I perceive the YG garners.

The blue is stunning, but the green has to stay!

The TT blue. Haven’t seen the green in the flesh but the blue is hypnotizing. Likely picking one up this weekend in fact.

Huge fan of the bluesy...huge. It's one of, if not my favorite modern reference.

But, I don't think if I was starting out again and had the LV-C, I would flip it for one. At least not this close to Basel. Just be patient and snag one down the road, for the ultimate sub combo.

So what if I wanted to flip my Bluesy for a Hulk ?
Seems like green is the new blue ...

haha you're so right, because I'm already thinking I'd like a white dial, maybe the Expl2 polar or maybe the discontinued Milgauss white.

One thing you must keep a good eye on though are your watch bug symptoms. They are starting to show......."TWO IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN ONE" is the first sign

Before you know it you'll be saying "well three is better than two" and then "four is better than three"

Oh that's an interesting thought... the SD43 is a beauty, you like it over the James Cameron?

IMHO - All 3 are very nice, the black is the all-time classic which will not go out of fashion even in another 100 years. The LV is so special and beautiful especially under certain lighting. Lastly, the bluesy is so exhilarating to look at.

wow, that's the ultimate collection... well maybe add a smurf... but that's basically perfection right there.... LOVE it!

Keep the Hulk. I’m not a TT fan (mind you, the only TT watch I’d consider buying would be a Bluesy).

...now if it was a choice between a Hulk and a Smurf, that would be a harder call for me

I have both and wouldn’t let go of either for the other. Just work on owning both if you can.

But if you can’t, and you can pull the TT ( workplace etc ), and you like it, frankly to me bluesy is greater than Hulk.
