The only reason you should sell your Hulk is if it is too much green for you. Everything else is insignificant. This is a personal style issue.

My advice is to forget about "future value", "desirability", "hard-to-get-ness" and all that other stuff that's totally unrelated to actually enjoying a watch for what it is.

I know it's not necessarily a helpful phrase, but it really does come down to buying what you love and what you will wear and enjoy. If you've fallen out of love with the LV, then it's time to ship it on. If you haven't, then an SD43 and an 11 series Sub would be a superb option (provided you get an SD43 with a decent movement!)

I like black dialed divers and these days I feel it a bit uncomfortable to wear so recognizable and expensive watch as Hulk. I donīt want to keep it as a safe queen, I rather enjoy wearing my watches.
I live in the USA and will admit I am more aware of when / where I wear my Hulk since the prices have gone crazy but I would never sell it.
You have the best green Submariner and would acquire 2 black dialed divers watches in exchange. I would never do that trade. Is it really that likely that you will be a victim of a crime wearing your Hulk where you live ? Good luck whichever way you decide to go.

I have the LV and SD43. I love wearing both. If I had to part with one, it would be the SD43 without a second thought. In my opinion, the 114060 would not get any wrist time if you made that trade, kinda a waste.

I wouldn't do that trade. Those watches are too similar. I had both at the same time as well, and ended up moving the SD43 along.

If I were you, I'd either keep the Hulk, or trade the Hulk for a ND sub and pocket the cash difference.
