I love my Hulk. My favorite color is green, so that helps with the love. One thing I'm finding with it that is cool is that it is stunning in a way that draws attention to it even from non-watch folks. I love that it is very unique, and though it is not a limited edition type of watch, I have yet to see one on anyone else in person; I like that. Normally, with any other purchase in the world, I'd say wait till you know what you definitely want, but I found out quickly with watches that you will be torn until the day you buy. Just know this, whichever way you go, you are going to love it. Happy buying!

I have no problems with the Glidelock on my 6.5" wrist even after days of wear.

I can't decide if I love or hate the bezel numbers. Between the two I would probably pick the Hulk. Besides, the Glidelock design is really awesome. I prefer it over the Easy Link in my Daytona which is the same as the one in the GMTIIC.

both are nice & have their unique attributes but for all around wear/versatility I would choose the GMT IIc.

The obvious answer is that you have to buy both. I did and am not regretfully one minute.

For me, it was the bold numbers on the bezel that really made me love the GMTIIC.

I don't have a GMT IIc but I have two Subc. I would choose the GMT IIc between the Hulk and GMT.

I had the SS GMTC first......

But ended up with the Hulk and couldn't be happier.
I have a YG GMTC also so it made it easier to let the SS go.
Both outstanding examples of the Rolex Pro line.

I have both...in ceramic, too. My GMT2C wins by a narrow margin.

I agree! I have both and love them both for different reasons; however if the collection ever needed to be downsized, the Hulk would be the last to go. The GMTIIC is slightly more mainstream and is much easier to reacquire in the future.

My thought exactly. You can pick up a new or used 2c anytime and very easily. The lvc not so much today anyway.

I have both and would unload the GMTIIC way before the LVC.

I was in the same boat 6 weeks ago. The hulk gets better and better every time you see it. I went with the hulk.

This leaves me the option to buy the less expensive of the two down the road. AD"s around here will easily give me 14-16% off GMTiiC but i've had zero success getting anything on the hulk.

You see what I have.... I had the same dilemma and I thought I would wait for Rolex to issue a coke gmt in future with ceramic bezel.... That made my decision easier .... Also the hulk in real life is absolutely beautiful and it changes colour in different lighting.... Lastly, the bezel on the gmt is lacklustre compared to the ceramic one on a black sub... The black is truer on the sub....
