16613 vs The Hulk

I posted about this a few weeks back, but I wanted to add a poll and a picture. Which of these two would you choose if you were me? I'm also a fan of gold, but not ready for all gold yet.

I'm not a fan of the 116613, even with the new dial. I like the smaller lugs, bezel color, smaller dial markers, and overall look of the classic better.

I have kind of a smaller to medium sized wrist, I'm 28, and my other Rolex is the 116233 white face with gold roman numerals.

Appreciate the votes and comments!

Also, I don't want to save for the blue. I really don't want more than one sub.

That's what I said and look what happened. I really enjoy having two subs. My LB is my favorite but was my second purchase.

That pretty much rules out the hulk and maybe you should look at the 16610LV for a comparison.

Otherwise if it is from these two only you have already chosen your favourite....

I would get the 16613 Sub since you are not a fan of the new SubC.

With the majority here liking SS over TT, I am guessing the 16613 will get fewer votes....but there is nothing that beats this dial in the sun IMO.

Agreed. Beautiful!!!! She was my first and most loved in 2003. As is true of most relationships, finances were the cause of our ruin. Now its an SS DateJust and hopefully soon a GMT BLNR.

No. I was at Royal Gold and Silver in Irving off of 635.

The Hulk looks awesome against your sleeve. Definitely my favorite against your art.

Thanks man.

Royal Gold and Silver is a great place. I just sold a very nice 16613 to David Larson at Dallas Gold and Silver on Reeder Road in Dallas. I am sure he will give you a great deal on it if you havent pulled the trigger on one yet. Tell him I sent you!

Choices

They are both awesome that's why I got a 16613 slate serti and then recently the hulk. They get equal wrist time, the TT with business casual and the hulk with jeans and tees
Cheers

I'm confused? Why is this even a question? You like smaller lugs and overall look of the Classic?

With that said I vote hulk! Looks better on you IMO.

I like the classic 16613. I got tired of the green bezel although the dial is gorgeous.

I think you just nailed it Mike, the bezel gets old, but when the light hits that dial, it's gorgeous!

You're only 28 years old very young.. so my vote is the HULK for more flashy look..
I'm not gonna gonna wear something with gold until I'm in late 40's IMO. and u also mentioned that you already have DJ with gold but its still up to you. GL!
