Sub belongs all black. The two tone blue which my brother owned was very loud- disco ball loud and the kelly pastel green of the hulk is a hard pass.

i can’t understand the green hype. The watch only looks cool one day out of the year.

1)the HULK (green) gets noticed by others and I think some wearers like that.
2) If one can buy a HULK for at MSRP he may believe he is getting a "free watch" (because the aftermarket pricing is higher than MSRP).

Good choice and enjoy your new watch! I’m in Canada also and I know what you’re talking about on exchange, you’re paying US market price. I bought a new Omega at AD and am thrilled with it. What a nice experience to go in, pay MSRP, get full warranty and have confidence in the purchase. Double MSRP on a mass produced piece is like begging to buy a watch and it’s just feeding profiteering and investment hype.

I don't think I could convince myself to spend double retail on anything let alone a watch.

Get a black sub date. They're pretty easy to get from an AD and timeless. It's all personal preference, but when I see someone with a TT Sub, I assume they aren't a collector/purist. Then again, some would say getting a sub date means you arent a purist either so....to each their own.

The Hulk is cool but paying anything but MSRP is laughable. Especially double.

A tough spot, I'd never pay that much of a premium, even for a watch I love, and I don't love the Hulk. As for the so-called "bluesy", I was never much of a fan, too blingy. Don't just settle, make sure you really want the watch.

have both Subs: TT and Hulk, LB and LV, Bluesy and Green .... what other names .... got both at MSRP three years ago. First got Blusey, then AD called me for Hulk....
the way it looks: of course Blusey way more attractive. For me and the rest people who are watch fanatics Hulk. My brother who has no idea about watches asked me why am I wearing ugly green watch.
I will put it this way: if you catch that watch bug - get Hulk, (happened to me)
Wrist time: Hulk gets 20% Blusey 80%
