DECISION from the I'm torn because I sold my HULK thread...

First thanks to all who read the thread and gave your opinion. I read every one of them. Out of respect I felt the need to unveil my decision. A couple of you pointed out that if I sold the BLNR or TT sub I would have even more regrets, and I definitely think you are right. The TT is a watch I had wanted for 10 years, the BLNR is my go to watch, the DJII is my blue buddy(fav color), and the Daytona (well it's the Daytona and new all time fave). So I have put a firing/flipping freeze. So I will probably save up and save up for another Hulk. Bottom line-the Hulk is probably amazing piece to look at for me but it only got action about once per week at best. Thanks again and I'm sure I won't rest until I get a Hulk back. Thanks again to all of you!!!!!

With all those great watches I think you've made the right choice!!!! I wouldn't want to flip any either.

Good call.

I sold my Hulk, and I do miss it at times, but I can't imagine me wearing it enough to justify buying another one. So I live vicariously through the great shots of it on here.

Good to hear. This is the best decision in the end. Although it will take longer, you will feel the most satisfied once you have re-acquired the LV.

Once you have the LV and you still feel the need to sell, then you can do so without any regret.

Hope to see an Incoming post for your LV in the future.

I think the only weakness the LV has is the bezel. While the dial always looks amazing, the bezel can look off sometimes, unlike the blue Subs which always look amazing....just my 2c. I sold my LV after a day for that reason, and know it would bother me again, so the blue Sub is next on my hit list.

Good decision.

I am now trying to save up for the YM Blue......wanted to flip my JLC Reverso Grande 976 since I almost never wear it thesedays, but my heart tells me no. The Reverso is unique and iconic for JLC, decided to save for the YM Blue instead.

With a great collection like you have, I would be hard pressed to choose any to sell. Graet decision to just add a Hulk back into your collection at some point.

Good move. Enjoy what you have & stop thinking about the one that got away. You did what you thought best at the time, so relax, no more thinking or you will start to drink. Maybe heavily. LOL
