I’m another in favour of the Hulk. Not keen on the jubilee bracelet

Not that it’s any of my business, but why do you feel compelled to sell one of them? Two really great references that wear differently and make for a great combo ...

Of the two, I prefer the Hulk. I prefer the Tudor GMT to the Pepsi factoring in price and wear.

Hulk. It’s better looking and IMO is more useful.

I'm not saying get a GMT PCL Oyster, I'm saying use the Sub Oyster and that also gets you glidelock bracelet.

Just swap the bracelets to see how they feel since you already own both watches, Hulk and Pepsi. Just be sure to use the springbars from the Pepsi. The hulk spring bars will be too big to use for the Pepsi.

That gives you a feel of what the combo is like. And of course, if you want PCL, then that will take some work to track down.

I prefer the green sub between the two, but the only relevant info is which one you prefer to wear, if you’re going to jettison one.

Good luck...tough choice, two great pieces.

Buy oyster on ebay or through trusted seller. I think it would fit but don't know for sure.

I had the Hulk, loved it, but never really wore it. Something about it never felt quite right for me. I wear my Pepsi all the time, though. Love it, and I have no plans on getting rid of it.

I also got a black Sub, and like it much more (and wear it more) than the Hulk.

Tell your A.D. that you lost the bracelet to your sub in a fire while you were wearing it on a strap, or something. He can use that serial number to allocate you another bracelet.

Worked for me

My personal taste is for the Pepsi, but that shouldn’t really impact what YOU like better. If you have to only have one, which is more useful and do you enjoy wearing more?

Not a fan of green on a watch. Pepsi goes with everything.

I dont think you will get tired of the BLRO as much as the LVc. The BLRO also has a much better movement. The Jubilee is a lot more flashy and comfortable. I loved the LVc when I had mine but grew tired of how much green it had and made it a bit one sided of a look. I look at it fondly but also have a "Been there, done that" view of the LVc.

I adore my new BLNR as it does everything better with in my collection. I am guessing you will feel the same with your BLRO.

Hulk. I have both and love my Hulk, BLRO is a close second. 2 very different watches and a good addition to any collection.

I’ve personally always been a fan of the Pepsi. The Hulk is gorgeous but personally, the Pepsi fits my personality and wardrobe better. I’d keep the Pepsi.

I wouldn’t care for either. But if I had to choose it would be the sub date.

The question is : Why do you want to sell one ? Do you really have to ?
And second : which one do you wear most and does your preference sometimes change ?

Sell both and get a PM piece. Like a RootBeer NOT a Daytona.

Still don’t know who called it Pepsi while it should be called Superman.
So I would keep the Superman :-)

I agree the DIAL on the HULK IS MAJESTIC... However, THE Bezel Ruins it.

Sub LV looks a tad more substantial, feels more masculine on my wrist. Green dial is more interesting to look at too. Never been a green fan but the LV wins a lot of wrist time. Never worn the BLRO out of the house.

Love them both but the PEPSI wins hands down!

Jubilee bracelet
GMT function super useful
Beautiful bicolor bezel
What’s not to love ❤️
