I would buy a Hulk, because I think that everybody needs a SUB and I think that likely the Kermit, the Hulk will increase the price in a few years...

I was just trying to say it's more polite to state your choice without insulting the others - it's just the way I was raised. :bye:

Agree with you sir. No need to be insulting.

216570 is cooler but i like the hulk aswell
i think that if the hulk was less desirable most people choose explorer2 but who knows whats coming nowadays))

I agree with the above poster that the Polar for me was always a fallback. Don't get me wrong, it's a really nice watch. I had a 116610LN, but it was so similar to my BLNR in looks that I wanted something different. Price wasn't an issue for me either and I was NOT on the LVc train whatsoever. I stopped into my AD to try on the Polar II before making my decision, and he just so happened to be wearing a Hulk so I tried them both on at the same time. Both felt great. I already had the SubC and the BLNR so I knew the wide lugs fit more like a 42 than a 40, and the 42mm ExpII felt nice also, but at the end of the day, it felt like a big step backwards to get the ExpII. This had nothing to do with it, but it's nice knowing I won't have an issue selling my LVc if I feel the need either. I really, really love the look and feel of the Hulk. It's a beast, I can blend it in if I need to, and I can make it pop if I want to.

Plus, it looks a lot like the Kermit when not in bright light. My wife thought it had a black dial until I turned the lights brighter. I think I read you also had the Kermit at one time...

I have the same two. Great pair

Explorer II is the more beautiful of the two.

michael.michael 26 October 2018 01:58 PM

Hulk all the way, I prefer Daytona or SkyD as my white-faced watch

sdh1980 26 October 2018 05:53 PM

Hulk gets my vote

danwang0520 26 October 2018 06:03 PM

my vote goes to the hulk first cause i own one 'n it's just a beauty......
then, i'd go explorer ii as backup plan

cajerseyboy 26 October 2018 07:21 PM

I was about to type choose the “HHD” (Hulk Hands Down) then saw you did just that.

Congratulations you made the right choice.

As a frequent traveler myself, it’s hard to pass on the GMT option. I love my 42mm Explorer II, that’s the perfect size for me.

Congratulations, I think that going with the diver makes the most sense given that you already have the BLNR.:cheers:

Congratulations. I like the Hulk. I am going to try to hold onto it this time.

Hollie_Rollie 26 October 2018 09:58 PM

The 16570 was my first Rolex which I sold. I regret letting it go and that would be my choice. Classic size and goes well with any strap/nato imo.

Cant go wrong with either. I have the ceramic Daytona and the BLNR and and the Explorer II is my favorite watch I own. Gets way more wrist time than the other two. It's my favorite watch in the Rolex collection.... That being said, I am on the waiting list for a Hulk so there's that.

RyanO 12 May 2019 10:55 PM

Congrats on the Hulk!

I own the polar Explorer II, which I really enjoy, but if I had to choose one it would be the Hulk... I am currently waiting on one now.

Polokus 13 May 2019 11:31 AM

Was going to say go for the Hulk, but seems already you got it! Congrats, magnificent watch :cheers:
