BLNR for sure. LVc is too green to wear daily, IMHO.

BLNR for only one watch. But eventually you'll get both.

If you already have the GMT, then I would recommend the LVc.

have you called Rolex yet to let them know what fools they are? You will have to inform them that their high sales on this particular piece is a figment of their imagination. Perhaps they'll hire you.

My AD has been selling Rolexes for 30 years. He calls them the batman and hulk as well.

I am very new to Rolex and I completely agree with you. When I decided to pick up a GMT I looked at the LN first of course. I realized I did want an all black bezel. I eventually fulfilled that desire with a no date submariner. The BLNR was most definitely the best looking sports watch (after the smurf ((sorry Dom)) of course) under the glass.

Had both, flipped the Sub after a while and picked up a SD4K to add to my GMT. MUCH happier this way :)

I had the same dilemma and this swayed me. When I saw the dial of the Hulk, that was it.

Go Hulk!
It's green, gold sunburst dial makes it special to me. Black dials are versatile, but common.
Just my 2 cents

Not a big fan of neither, but from those 2 probably the BLNR.

The BLNR would be my choice if it's a one and only or daily wearer.

Batman for me...

The case on the Sub-C looks too clunky and although the cases are similar in size, on both, the bigger bezel on the GMT makes it more balanced. Also, the GMT is more versatile.

must say i cant DISAGREE enough :) I thought this too but I can tell you from wearing it daily it goes with everything..if anything..it actually goes better than black as it adds a tiny splash of 'something' on your wrist as it peeks out from your cuff plus the sunburst dial gives you different shades at various times meaning its always different and will hold my interested forever

You can have PCLs on a GMT the same way you can have a flashier Jubilee with polished links on a GMT..they look great together. Nothing confused about some shiny bits on a pilot's watch. The only confused ones are those who think GMTs, 60 year-old icons in their own right, are supposed to look like dull, Sub clones.

As for the OPs choices, BLNR for sure. It's a great variation on the iconic multicoloured bezel theme, in keeping with the line. The all-green LV always struck me as a novelty item designed to advertize their corporate color more than anything else. No thanks, not into all-green watches.
