Another Hulk vs Pepsi...which for my collection?
I have a Sub 126610LN and Daytona 116500LN (Black Dial). The sub is my work watch and the Daytona has sentimental value, so both will stay. For one final special piece to round everything out, would you go with a Hulk or BLRO?
Based on my collection it seems like a wash. The hulk gets me 3 oysters (and 2 subs) in my collection, but a beautiful sunburst dial. The pepsi gets me a jubilee bracelet and a beautiful bezel, but 3 black dialed watches. I also don't use any of the functions on my watches. I can't decide which one I like more, this changes too often, and I cant afford to have both. Which one has more "Wow" factor, and is more special to you? |

Not the Hulk
So I guess the Pepsi on Jubilee for your collection. |

HULK is the more fun watch of the two with the sunburst dial and the glide lock clasp

Depends what you like. If you like them both equal, the hulk will be harder to get in the future as it is discontinued. The sunburst green dial is pretty amazing.
It is also unique and add some color. But, you have to like green. |

Five days ago I received the new Kermit to complete my Rolex land-sea-air. More specifically, Daytona-Sub-GMT (BLNR on jubilee). In your situation, I would choose the Pepsi on jubilee. That way you would have LSA plus enjoy every Rolex bracelet (like me) — oyster, oyster with PCL, and jubilee. I can’t tell you how satisfying it is to own these three models!

Since you already have a Sub, I say go for the GMT. Complete the land, air and sea theme.

Not a fan of the hulk personally. I would go with the Pepsi.

I'll move your current sub and get the gmt + hulk and that'll make absolute sense. The lvc sunburst makes it a very interesting watch to me at least and wear the pepsi as a daily!

If I had to choose, I would go hulk.

Another vote for the Pepsi here
The red and blue provide a nice contrast The Hulk just says "LOOK AT HOW GREEN I AM, YOU KNOW GREEN MEANS ROLEX, RIGHT!?" But thats just me |

Hulk is the more special one now. Pepsi prices may soften, but Hulk will always rise. Hulk can't be got from AD now, Pepsi will be here for a long long time.

Pepsi probably fits your collection better, but IMHO the 116610LV is the more special/unique watch. Good luck with your choice! You can't lose.

You won't be disappointed with either and if you are building a collection you're probably heading for both.
Happily for me, I'm already there. A GMT is more useful to me so the BLRO comes in first in a perfect world. It actually happened the other way around for me due to availability and circumstances, but the end objective was both. |

BLRO on jubilee will add more diversity.
But why not replace the LN with LV? |

I own both and would keep the Pepsi if I had only one. I like the colors better and the Jubilee bracelet is strong.

Blro more versatile. Me personally…while the Hulk is truly amazing too…I think I would get tired of the green.

I am going to say the BLRO - it's classy and still has that pop with the bezel, and fitted on a jubilee makes it that much more special.

Well it won’t surprise anyone here to hear me say BLRO.
Beyond the unique bezel colors (and GMT function which you won’t use), I’d also add that the jubilee provides for a very comfortable wearing experience and added benefit of showing less wear than the oysters. |

I’d stick with what you have an add a dress watch. Doesn’t make sense to have two subs. Blro is a great watch, but then you’ve got 3 black dials.
