ROLEX Sea Dweller 116600 or Hulk

Hallo All,

I have been offered a Sea Dweller 116600 and a Hulk as well for the same price.
I want to take only one of them

Both are in mind condition, which one you will take?

Thanks in advance for your advise,

Hulk every time!
Sea Dwellers size under a shirt cuff will annoy you (as well as the weight).
Love my Hulk - loads of people want to talk about it and it looks good whatever you wear.

Sea dweller.

The green sub does nothing for me so it’s an easy decision, plus the sea dwellers’s are just more special to me than the sub’s.

I prefer and own the Hulk. I also own a SD43. The SD4K has never done it for me but it is a matter of personal preference.

If this is your only Rolex, take the SD.
If you are looking for rotation, go for the LV.

The SD4K is imho the perfect modern "Submariner" with all the new tech + non-maxi case and date with no annoying cyclops

SD4K for me. I've never been able to do green on a watch, but I can understand the appeal.

I find the Hulk to be perfectly suited for everyday wear. The weight and proportions are just right for me. The color only really pops in direct sunlight. I like that it toggles between stealth and ‘not’ throughout the day.

Definitely a good problem to have ... and really my personal taste pushes me to the SD4k.

Here's the rub

The LVc is probably my fav watch. The prices are mental at the moment and they are shifting.

The SD4K is a similar price, is not shifting as quickly and is still the same (too similar to the sub but 3k more expensive, not shifting lets discontinue it SD)... but... its probably the best, most balanced and usable diver ever produced.

I wish wish wish i didn't pass on it a few years ago. But like many it was much easier to buy a hulk and a bluesey especially for me, as i like watches with character. I distinctly remember thinking, this is an expensive black sub. But now, i'm desperate for one.

Maye be so with the 126600 but not the 116600. Mine has no issues what so ever. Are you from somewhere with legal weed?

depends if its your one watch only, the submariner as it is more comfortable. sea dweller is a tad bit top heavy, you are more conscious of wearing a SD4K than a submariner if that makes sense.
if it were me SD4K all day!!!
