Need some green, Hulk or Sprite?
Availability/pricing finally dropping, not ideal yet but getting there as ADs seem to be getting more regular stock in the door.
Thoughts on these two, aka the Hulk (discontinued) and Sprite?

Thanks for sharing, what made you choose this one, any other contenders this one beat out?

I picked up this GMT from my AD. If I were considering these two watches H2H on the grey market, I’d probably still go with the Sprite. I now appreciate the polished center links on the jubilee bracelet and am also drawn to the GMT’s quirkiness.

Why not the Starbucks?
I have the VTNR, great watch I'm a lefty I like it more on the right wrist. Hulk discontinued, expensive, Sprite and Starbucks still possible at MSRP thru AD. |

As a leftie, I prefer the Sprite but I will not pass a Pepsi.

I would go with the starbucks if I were you. But I am not you. I wear my watches on my right wrist and I would like the GMT function. |

I’d agree with this and think the 2023 Starbucks is a nicer color. Hulk is great if you have a larger collection since I don’t view it as an everyday watch.

Sprite on Jubilee just as pictured would me my choice! Especially if you can get one new at MSRP. Nice to have the GMT complication along with the date and Jubilee is my personal favorite bracelet.
Hulk will obviously only be available pre-owned or grey market. I haven't looked lately, but what are the going prices on those nowadays? Still around $20K? Definitely the Sprite if at MSRP, but I would still pick the Sprite at the grey price. I believe they are going for around $20K as well? |

If it were my choice, GMT.
Starbucks is the worst ‘name’ for a watch ever, so no. The green sub is “ok”, GMT is cooler by x100 IMO |

That’s a hard one. I like both. I’m going to be picking up the Sprite from my AD soon!. I already have a Bluesy Sub so a GMT made sense. Why I picked the Sprite?!. I wear my watches on both wrists. Had an accident a while back that messed up the nerves in my left arm so I frequently switch wrists so the Sprite would not be an issue. Also, I love the weirdness of it!.

If you are a Lefty like me, Sprite without a doubt. If not, I would get the Hulk.

The hulk is fantastic but after trying it on, it was just too much green for me. The GMT destro on jubilee is the most comfortable (and useful) Rolex I’ve ever had the pleasure of wearing. Try both on and make the call yourself. Good luck!

I have a hulk hogan and a Sprite girl. I think I wear the Sprite girl more but I think the hulkamania is a better watch.

I have both of these (but the Sprite's on an oyster) and I agree the hulk is a better watch. But I've only had the Sprite for a month and it get by far the most wrist time.

It's the hulk for me, it has an amazing dial and it's green enough for me.

Two of the very best. All you need to decide is diver or GMT
