I have a dilemma. Just before Christmas I was hunting down a Rolex. I went to my AD and they said they could order me any of the ones that I wanted and they would be here in 3-5 weeks. I just received the call today that all three are in. Now I am trying to decide on Hulk, Batman, or Deep Blue, or possibly Hulk and Batman (I need to decide by Friday). I had a black dial DeepSea and loved it, however after 2 trips to Rolex for repairs, I ended up returning it to where I purchased it.

Go for deep blue

Eric5964 · 25 January 2017, 02:23 PM

Deep Blue

Super easy one. Go Hulk AND Blnr for the win!

Bigsykedaddy · 25 January 2017, 02:30 PM

Hulk would be my choice

All are great though so you can't lose.

GMTMasterII44 · 25 January 2017, 02:38 PM

Blnr for me between all three!

DeeTee · 25 January 2017, 02:39 PM

They all wear a bit different.
There is no wrong answer to this one. Try them all on!

Boaters · 25 January 2017, 02:42 PM

The BLNR you won't be sorry!

t28 · 25 January 2017, 02:48 PM

Was in the same dilemma between Hulk & Batman....

Batman won as I wanted 3 time zones & I don't dive.

natosub · 25 January 2017, 02:49 PM

Hulk and Bateman for a great one-two punch!

James444 · 25 January 2017, 02:55 PM

Why not wait for Basel 2017 I'm waiting to see what Rolex have for this year Basel

DCheeta · 25 January 2017, 03:19 PM

Sub LV and BLNR. Get them both, it'll be a perfect pair.

mikeps2006 · 25 January 2017, 03:22 PM

I don't like the deep blue. But I have a hulk. And I'm planning to get a blnr soon.

LuminousMaximus · 25 January 2017, 03:37 PM

The issue I see is that you have already owned a Black Dial DSSD and loved it. I think that no matter which other one you get you will miss that one of a kind Heft and presence.

daytonaTBR · 25 January 2017, 03:37 PM

I've had all 3 at one point and the only one left in my collection is the D-Blue. It's my favorite modern rolex by far

Chitownss · 25 January 2017, 03:37 PM

Batman, most versatile in my opinion

zjd168 · 25 January 2017, 03:52 PM

Hulk and BLNR

DramaTurtle · 25 January 2017, 04:00 PM

Hulk.

But then again, I'm biased

.

WS9D · 25 January 2017, 04:02 PM

Deep blue. See my earlier post on another thread. If it had been my first, prob would have been my last. I freakn love it.

firegate · 25 January 2017, 04:07 PM

I'd take the BLNR all day long. But I'm a bit biased in that regard.

Easy choice. Hulk all day long. Instant classic.

MVP · 25 January 2017, 04:22 PM

BLNR.

I have the DSSD Blue and I enjoy it but TBH it just doesn't feel like a rolex to me, too big. It's very cool, don't get me wrong, but it has a very clunky feel that isn't in line with my vision of a luxury watch. Like a DSSD, a sub is a diving watch, but there is a subtlety in the design (namely its lower profile and classic look) that speaks to the buyer, more so than its practical use. The BLNR is a different tool, but my thoughts about the GMT's practical use align with my thoughts on the sub's. BLNR is the best looking watch, proportions and color, so that's my vote. As you can see, I have one, and I will never get sick of this one!

Cru Jones · 25 January 2017, 04:29 PM

Did you go to the AD and try them all? And one didn't jump out at you?

Anyway, D-blue is an awesome piece if your wrist can take it.

LVc is so great, though. That's what I'd choose.

scombs263 · 25 January 2017, 04:40 PM

No question. Deep Blue!

Nairn1980 · 25 January 2017, 04:53 PM

BLNR and be quick before it sells

Gus2 · 25 January 2017, 04:55 PM

I own both, the Hulk and Deepblue, and if I had to give one up it would probably be the Hulk. That Deepblue is amazing.

Also, I was so convinced about BLNR and it was next on my list, until I saw it in person and I put it on my wrist, I was not super impressed.

I love my Hulk, don't get me wrong, I wouldn't sell or trade that thing for anything, but the Deepblue is at another level.

It is definitely a matter of personal taste, if you feel uncomfortable with a big and heavy watch, the Deepblue is definitely not for you.

I'm used to big watches so I can wear that thing for 2-3 weeks straight no problem. :)

SeaDweller50 · 25 January 2017, 05:00 PM

It would be the BLNR for me. No contest.

JRT · 25 January 2017, 05:12 PM

BLNR no brainer.
