I chose the LV.
If not TT, I would have gone with the GMT. Have fun with your decision! |

Do you have any idea what he prefers? Does he like YG? Does he have other divers?
Not knowing anything more, I didn't vote. |

Sorry I should add in that he is a 70 yo man. His everyday watch are a DD2 18KWG and RM010RG.. He do not dive but fly very often to different timezone.. I personally love the hulk but I am not sure if he will like or not since I have ever seen him wearing green ...

well, then, no doubt, TT GMTIIc, which, IMHO, is the nicest TT sports watch available. and, if you don't already have one, get an LVc for you while you're at it. getting such a gift for your FIL? you deserve it. |

Based on the fact he travels a lot I would say GMT. The Hulk seems to be one of those love/don't love (I won't say hate) watches due to some people being particular about green. I'm not usually a fan of TT but if I had to have one the GMT would be the one I would get. Given those choices I'd go TT GMT but is a Stainless Steel GMT an option? What about an Explorer II. They both have the extra time zone function.

I don't think a 70 year old would wear a green watch. I would buy him a regular sub c.

The timezone situation lends itself to the GMT.
I find the bezel a little to busy for my taste. The Hulk is just very different and special. Truth is, my iPhone keeps great time of as many time zones as I wish. If he would appreciate the movement then get the GMT, if he just needs the function, get the sub. |

I hope I have a RG RM10 when I hit 70! Seriously, I'd get him a SS SubC or GMTIIc.

Green for a seventy yo is a bit risky. Buy the GMTC but keep the receipt.

There's nothing wrong if an old man wearing a Sub LVc. I believe that he would feel younger and couldn't be happier with it.

I prefer the LV but given your input, I'd say the GMT might be a better option.

GMT without question. I love the black Sub, but the green LV will get old very soon.
