Hulk by a mile

DLRIDES 12 October 2018 06:01 PM

Never understood the desire for a green watch, other than just the novelty of owning it.



216570

ROLEXster 12 October 2018 06:05 PM

Orange hand

Very versatile
The beautiful sunburst dial
It’s a sub, arguably the most iconic Rolex
Moving bezel
Good luck:cheers:

This exactly.
It's a perfect watch.

danwang0520 12 October 2018 06:56 PM

definitely the hulk.......the batman and the hulk makes a great duo~

aurenas 12 October 2018 07:14 PM

Few days pullet the trigger on 16570 exp. Now I can’t take of it from my wrist!

That being said would go for hulk or polar explorer (3186) IMO. Hulk is in real life looks so good! Good luck! 🤞🏼

LV, as function wise, the Polar is similar to the BLNR.

Alex6340 12 October 2018 08:22 PM

I add a vote for the Hulk because the light make it a different watch through the day.

If money does not matter then the Hulk.

watchwatcher 12 October 2018 11:06 PM

I say get the orange hand EXP2 for now. And then when you get your gold sub, you'll have your sub. :cheers:

cburgs56 12 October 2018 11:26 PM

Hulk

I'd say ExpII if you didn't already own the GMT. I don't really like the hulk, but given the options I'd get that. What about the 16610LV?

gummy 13 October 2018 12:57 AM

White Dial - Orange 24 hour hand

ayonae 13 October 2018 01:01 AM

Polar 16570 (3186) is my favourite. Very comfortable, easy to wear and goes with everything. I found the Hulk, due to the green, didn't "match" my outfits. That's what my wife said anyways.... :P

airpeace 13 October 2018 01:02 AM

the question is which one can you get at the moment

Rolextellstime 13 October 2018 02:48 AM

No question, hulk for sure...

Imran 13 October 2018 02:58 AM

My vote is for the 216570

Mr Kram 13 October 2018 03:09 AM

6 digit polar for me.

cruise_bone 13 October 2018 03:50 AM

216570 Explorer II (orange hand) $7-9k

If you really need a Sub, and price doesn't matter, get the Smurf.

Mr. K 13 October 2018 04:12 AM

Another Hulk vote.

rmlovett1 13 October 2018 04:15 AM

At this point....I’d go Hulk

Md001 13 October 2018 04:25 AM

The Hulk could be preferable, but i would go with the 216570. I feel you have more options on wears with the ExpII but the green the Hulk could determine that and can have limited options

Baco Noir 13 October 2018 04:31 AM

Interesting totals at this point in the thread:

116610LV - 27 votes
216570 - 22 votes
16570 - 4 votes

You have to quit passing out in that damn stream, its just not safe.

TickTockChuck 13 October 2018 10:42 AM

Both are lovely, but I'd say the LVc would compliment your BLNR better as far as building your collection goes. The LVc is just a gorgeous watch with a magical emerald dial that goes from black to brilliant green. Will hold it's value better too. Good luck. Cheers!

This is what I hate/love about this forum. Now I am considering trading in the BLNR and jet getting a smurf.

I would agree. Get the Polar and wait for the crazy SS prices to settle. I would not pay over MSRP for ANY SS reference.

Rolex are just not worth it to do that. Not for modern ones anyway imho.

ajw44 17 October 2018 07:21 AM

Got a great deal on a Hulk from a dealer on this forum, so happy to say that I have HULK INCOMING.

Will look into adding the smurf next year as I was too undecided about losing my favorite function (GMT) in favor of a precious metal watch.

Thanks for your help!

5 digit polar is the one I'd take. I love mine and for current prices think its a steal. I don't like the new hand and bezel font of the 6 digit.

spurs 17 October 2018 08:08 AM

I really like the polar dial Explorer II’s. If it were me, I’d go w/ the 40 mm. But obviously, being that you like the 42 (and bigger watches in general), I’d get the newer model. Plus, that orange hand is RAD.

For me this for sure out of these three: 216570

ltmgeller 17 October 2018 08:23 AM

How about vintage? A white dialed 16628 yellow gold yacht master looks nice.

ajw44 17 October 2018 08:33 AM

I decided on a Hulk (for now) as I got a great deal, but I still feel the polar (red or orange) is in my future as I NEED a white faced GMT!! Thanks!

The Explorer in all variants is such a unique, eye catching reference. I had both 16570 and 216570 and shouldn't have let either go. I used to catch myself staring at them for their amazing appearance and the clarity of the information. And hey, if it's good enough for a legend like Ed Viesturs it's good enough me.
