Hulk vs BLNR GMT

I'm planning to acquire one of these two, I know they are different but I would like to give me your opinion and sort it out this dilemma. Thank you guys.

What do you currently have? Both are great pieces, however if it's your only watch that would make a huge difference. Or as others said, get both if it's within your means.

Hulk is nice but not very versatile when it comes to what you can wear wth it.

If you don't have any other watches then the Batman will likely be the most versatile as one watch to rule them all.

Both is the right answer. But if only 1, clearly the GMT unless you're a serious diver that would bring the LVc along on dives.

Agree. Both is the answer. Depending on what other watches you have the BLNR might fit in better. However if you already have a few the LVc can find a great place. I personally went for the LVC and the LN

BLNR. Unless your favorite color is green?

Another one of the many BLNR vs Hulk thread on TRF.
I vote BLNR since it is my watch and more versatile as a daily wear than the LV.

Either is a great choice, but if it is your only watch, then the BLNR because it is more versatile. Have you seen both in person? That may help you decide. The Hulk dial is simply stunning. Also, they wear much differently because of the difference in height.

you'll be happy with either. The BLNR is probably going to go with more outfits, work and casual but there are plenty of people who wear the Hulk with suits and have no problem with it. It really depends on your comfort with how your watch goes with your clothes.

I didn't like how the PCL's and the blue/black bezel looked together so I went with the GMT LN. I think the brushed bracelet and the green dial&bezel all work well together.

Here's some very recent pictures of the LVc and to me it goes with anything.

Taken with iPhone6 and I took the few minutes out of my busy schedule to help..lol





Not the best pictures but you can see it goes with blue and evidently what she calls Salmon

Both are great for diving but the GMT is nice while traveling

My Hulk is the most versatile watch that I own. It is the only watch that I own. It goes with everything else that I own.
