Help! 18 hours to decide: Hulk Vs. BLNR.

[AZDJII]

BLNR. Date and time isn't hard to set once you are familiar with it. Good luck with your decision - you really can't go wrong.

[sea-dweller]

Hulk!

[CRM114]

BLNR of course!

[Ru4scuba]

Gotta say...the Hulk is growing on me and I've been drooling over the BLNR forever.

[JRT]

BLNR no brainer.

[MTROIS]

PCL is not a scratch magnet like most people portray it to be or think it is. I have had my watch for more than 14 months... And it still looks stunning, no issue.

Note: I do not baby the watch but I also do not take it for rock climbing...

[Jareddad]

Blnr !!!

I prefer the BLNR of the two, but I certainly wouldn't call it a no brainer. All things being equal, I'd take a Sub over a BLNR, but the LVC is a bit too green for me if it were to be my main go to watch.

I completely agree.

Note: I do baby mine and I don't take it rock climbing.......

BLNR slightly prettier. More of a pain to set date. PCLs are sexy but those scratches...

Hulk Glide-Lock is a huge selling point. Easier to set-up date, wind and get going. Wife thinks it's "ugly!"

Verdict?

Sounds to me like you know what you want

[GB-man]

Fortunately, you cannot lose. Two of the best. Having owned both, I give a slight edge to the LVc.

[Rachaphon]

BLNR for sure

[lig]

Easy choice IMO - BLNR!

Why in the world would you give yourself an 18 hour deadline to decide this? Take your time and figure it out.

[jakerusty]

Hulk. IMO a new classic.

For fun, day, water, bar, games, I would suggest Hulk.



For evening, slacks, dinner, travel, I suggest BLNR. I own a BLNR and I want to add an LVc if that adds any clarity to your decision.



The fact of the matter is, you aren't a true Rolex fan if you can't appreciate more than one Rolex model.

I couldn't agree with this statement more. Two amazing watches with a very different feel. I own the LVC and bought over the BLNR because I already had the "evening, slacks, dinner" watch category already covered. However I've owned the GMT LN and really liked it. I'm sure I'd like the BLNR even more.

One last note for the LVC. The dial is truly mesmerizing. It has so many personalities and changes shades from virtually black to a deep green. It's hard to appreciate until you wear it for a while. Yea, there are a few outfits that it clashes with... But it's not my only watch and fits in perfectly with a rotation.

Truth.

Also, if I go against my wife's opinion, some questions will arise regarding who else's opinion is in the equation. =)

Good times....

[spd707]

I debated the same pair and went the BLNR. I have a use for the GMT feature though. You can't go wrong with either.

[AboutTime]

BLNR for me. I think I might quickly tire of green on green.

[AS1]

BLNR absolutely

[elcompa]

If you travel more than you dive, go BLNR (=almost everyone on the planet). Plus blue goes with almost everything. Green....meh, not so much.

My guess is that it will keep its value (maybe even mark-up the original price) over the years better than Sub.

Respectfully, I totally disagree with this, especially if you hunt for a deal.

I bought my LVC about 15 months ago, brand new from a trusted seller (not a gray watch). I didn't make the trade, but recently looked into trade value and would have gotten a little more than I paid for it.

The BLNR on the other hand is really difficult to get a good deal on right? Which would seemingly mean the value and of course demand of the watch is high. But it's only a matter of time before that scale balances, especially with the recent release of what will likely be the hottest, highest demand Rolex of all time! (Daytona-C).

So what happens to your BLNR in 5 years from now. The buying price drops via trusted seller, the dealers have the watch readily in stock and discounts become much much more common.

So I ask you, down the road if you had to sell your BLNR in the secondary used market, why would someone ever pay you close to what you paid when they can likely buy the watch brand new for the same price or even cheaper.

Do you have this weeks winning lottery numbers to share? That's a lot of speculation too.

[adrianwhy]

I was in the same boat as you last year and I've ended up with BLNR. But then... you probably know the answer... somehow I couldn't get my head out of Hulk, so last month, I bought Hulk as well.

The conclusion is: No matter what you getting first, you'll get the other one too, it's just a matter of time. Good luck on your purchase^^

[Cdn328is]

Hulk! Couldn't live without glidelock now that I've had it. Even without considering glidelock, I prefer the hulk.

[Joearch]

Green seems like such a specialty color on a watch. Other than St. Patrick's Day not sure how much I would wear the hulk. It does look sharp in person.

No lotto numbers here but I do speak sarcasm, so I smell what you're stepping in. However, I won't speculate as to what you think is "a lot" but there's Actually only two points of speculation...

1. The SS Daytona-C will be the hottest selling, highest demand watch Rolex sells, maybe all time but at least in the next 5 years.

2. The BLNR becomes more readily available to buy.

The fact is when a watch becomes readily available and the demand drops, potential discounts increase.

The other fact is that I bought my LVC 15 months ago brand new and got a trade value on it last month higher than I paid. That's not speculation, just sharing my experience.

I don't think I need a crystal ball for anything said above.

BLNR .... I Love GMTs!!!!!

I too like the glidelock, but seriously how often does a watch not fit you wrist and need adjusting? For me, only when I fly. thats it. Then, I just pop out the quick release to the slightly bigger setting and im good. The next day, I return it to to normal.
