LVc for me, quite sedate indoors as the pics show, and yet comes alive in the sunshine.

I own both and have a tendency to wear my LV more as compared to the BLNR
Love both, BLNR is more dressy but the dial on the LV wins me over every time

And Fujiman I have had since it was released in 2010 at Basel. Makes for a great fun watch in a collection but to each his own. There is a reason it is a high demand piece and everyone I know who has it loves it and have for years. Many many fans here on this forum.

I don't own a Hulk, but interested in getting a LVc in the future.
I love my BLNR, seems more functional, at least for me.
But I'd rock the LVc every March 17th

I was lucky to buy the BLNR and Sub LV earlier this year. Both are great watches.

Honestly, the BLNR is more of an everyday watch for most clothes. The LV's bezel is too green unless you're in darker lighting conditions. Maybe one day Rolex will offer that Sub's beautiful gold green dial with a black or darker green bezel.

You miss the BLNR, so that tells you something about your relationship with it. (You will get it someday.)

But you never tried Hulk, so given there is no risk in LV, I say try it. It is not like Rolex is going to flood the market with hulks and you will lose too much if you found out it wasn't for you. Buy a nice example, wear it and enjoy it for a while, and if you find you are more drawn to your old BLNR, well, no harm done. Sell it and move on.

I have both, but between the two, I much prefer the BLNR.
As others have said though, you can’t go wrong with either.

I choose it both. But if only pick up 1 option, I choose BLNR for sure.

Beautiful indeed! The problem is my AD doesn't love me as much as your AD loves you so the BLRO will be a 20 year wait even after having an established purchasing history of about 6 - 7 watches. Still not sure if the LVc is too much green for me...

BLNR if this is your only watch.
HULK if the watch is going to be in rotation.

That's probably the best answer. A Hulk owner will want the BLNR.
A BLNR owner will want the Hulk.

I don't usually say both but that is where we ultimately end up. The LVC is more fun and exciting to look at, it will always make you say wow. The BLNR is more useful and colors go with anything, pcls make it stand out.

As someone who's owned both, I'd get the new Pepsi.

Seriously though. The LVC for me.

Thanks and you never know always worth a try. Again if between the BLNR and LV I would choose LV for sure. With that said that is assuming you own other Rolex as for me LV works great in rotation.

Any sub that’s not black, has to be blue.
