Hulk or Rootbeer as only watch.

Yes they are very different watches. But if you had to choose between only one, which one would you choose and why ?

Root beer. Dresses up and dresses down better. Also green doesn't work with everything

Love both, but Root Beer for sure. You can't go wrong with it's up or down dress, and the GMT complication (especially if we ever get to travel again!).

It's simple. I won't get the Hulk because it's going to be Selective with colours. So you know what'll be.

Neither as one watch. You can't dress up a LV and you can't dress down a CHNR.

I have both, and I prefer the root beer.
Green isn't easy to match with clothes. Root beer works with my skin tone.

I wore my hulk every day for the past 3 years with every possible combination of colors you can think of ... it works.

Hulk is the more fun of the two, CHNR is the classier. You just can't get enough of the hulk, the dial is amazing under any light, looks cool dressing casual, fun underwater/pool side ..etc. CHNR... classy and that's about it.

CHNR, if you already own it. Both are great as part of a larger collection, but not as an only watch.

CHNR will be slightly more comfortable if that’s a concern.

I don't travel anymore, so I don't need a GMT.

Personally I think the Root Beer is a far better looking watch, tho.

LVc for me. I’ce found that it “goes” with everything. Green is the color of nature. When has a tree clashed with anything? ;-)

Beyond that, it’s a Sub, so....

That being said, I would love a CHNR, too. :-)

As a one only, I'd pick the LVc. The green is mesmerizing.

Definitely Root Beer. But not a huge fan of two tone. Full RG and we’re talking!

Owned both. The CHNR will work in more applications. It also has the better 32 series movement which is huge.

Root Beer without question. Green is too limited.

The two tone GMT has same water proofing, same, date, time, and lume, but adds the multiple time zone complication. It will appear more dressy than the sub, At retail costs more than the sub I guess secondary market about the same price to purchase. If you have seen the Sub LV in your hand, it's really a pretty piece, the photographs just don't do it justice. In a suit the green sub will fit under the cuff the green is definitely more unique than a black sub so it's more exclusive. Either watch is unique.

I love my LV. I'll wear it with anything. Its one of those watches that you need to see it in person to truly appreciate its beauty. That might not be the popular opinion but i didn't think it was very special until I held it in my hand, now its my favorite watch Ive owned.

LVc, my fave SS Rolex; sunburst, glidelock and has the Sub aesthetic.
