If you were me, which would you go for? On the one hand, I love the Hulk. But on the other hand, I have been wanting to get a vintage 16750 GMT for a while now and I found a nice one here from a great seller.

Thanks!

ejvette · 1 June 2017, 12:19 AM

I could go with either but would lean toward the LVC

jbarolex · 1 June 2017, 12:35 AM

vintage !!!

Onx · 1 June 2017, 12:38 AM

Completely different feeling getting a modern 6 digits compared to older ones. I would get the 16750 if I already have a 6-digit keeper.

Don't get too many opportunities at a nice vintage example from a good seller! I'd probably do that, but what else do you have in your lineup?

nick c · 1 June 2017, 12:54 AM

16750 gmt

Currently have a 116710BLNR (Batman), a 116500LN Daytona in Black, and a SD4000 SeaDweller.

Yep! I'd go vintage. Great collection btw!

joli160 · 1 June 2017, 04:11 AM

Given your collection go with the GMT

Cru Jones · 1 June 2017, 01:38 AM

I'd get both and flip the BLNR.

Man.....I love the lvc but the 16750 would tick far more boxes for me:

That's a 16750 through and through....be warned....they are addictive (vintage in general) and you might not stop at one.

sea-dweller · 1 June 2017, 01:54 AM

I'd get the GMT, they are getting tough to source!

datejust24 · 1 June 2017, 02:05 AM

that is a beautiful example for sure Sensui.....is the 16750 you are considering a matte dial or wg surrounds?

It's a 1981 model so it should be a matte dial

You are correct, it SHOULD be a matte dial...however, it may not be, and as stated, the two watches you're considering are completely different animals....Me, I'd go for the 16750 all day, given everything about the example is in order....does the 16750 come with everything? If possible get some pics...I'd like to see it.

htbilgic · 1 June 2017, 02:07 AM

Gmt!!

jrs146 · 1 June 2017, 02:39 AM

Really different watches. I think this one come down to what you are trying to accomplish with the look.

encarter13 · 1 June 2017, 03:23 AM

There are not many watches I would choose over the LVC, but I agree that the vintage examples are harder and harder to source. I say buy the GMT and the Hulk can be added later.

Sky21 · 1 June 2017, 03:27 AM

Another vote for the 16750 as the Hulk is everywhere and still being produced as we speak. Original and correct 16750s from trusted sellers are becoming harder to find every day, and more expensive too!!

Pmt2 · 1 June 2017, 04:12 AM

That LVC would be a beautiful add on to your collection. That green would look AMAZING!

c41006 · 1 June 2017, 04:34 AM

I'd go with the GMT now and then look for an LV in the future

KingRichard · 1 June 2017, 05:20 AM

If you found a nice example of the pepsi, then get it. Otherwise, go for the hulk. My preference is slightly towards the hulk but it's close.

AR5150 · 1 June 2017, 05:35 AM

All the way, no brainer IMO. Enjoy.

toucan · 1 June 2017, 11:08 AM

16750

sickened1 · 1 June 2017, 11:15 AM

Vintage first, LVc later.

Vishy26 · 2 June 2017, 01:13 AM

16750 GMT a better watch, but a lot of headaches to deal with if you are buying an old watch. Best to steer clear.
