Help with making my next purchase

Hello again all I had presented my current watches to you guys a couple weeks back here is a reminder:
I am debating between the hulk and stainless steel Daytona likely black dial. I have tried both on numerous times but the decision is not getting any easier. Which watch do you think will complement my current selections best? Which choice is best with most types of clothing? Which to you is more eye catching? Thanks for the help and happy thanksgiving!!

I prefer the Hulk to the Daytona. In the picture you posted my preference would be the BLNR.

Good luck deciding

I say hulk or white Daytona since u already have two dark dials. I like the size, date, clasp, ceramic bezel of hulk better. So I vote hulk over daytona. Good luck.

Two different questions

Which is more eye catching = BLNR
Which is more versatile = DJII

It absolutely KILLS me how many people don't actually read the OP

I don't particularly care for the 116610LV, so my vote would be for the Daytona but with a white dial. See?? I'm really no help

Black Daytonas are sharp and you see fewer in the wild than white ones, it's a classic... those green subs are faddish.

I went with the LVc when I made the decision between the two. I just didn't like how small the Daytona wore on my wrist when compared to the LVc

The Hulk would truly be different from what you already have. If you want to go for the Daytona, the white dial might add a lot more variety than the black dial would.

I suggest a white face Daytona unless you want to stay with dark face watches.

Daytona white dial would be my first choice. The sub is too similar to the GMT and the hulk especially is not a versatile watch. It's too loud for everyday use. I would reserve it strictly for the weekends or vacation. The daytona can be worn everyday. I think the white dial would compliment your collection nicely since you already have two black dial watches.

Hi!
I have the hulk and a dj2 (the opposite to you) my next choice could be a GMT or a SD 4000....

So in direct response to your question, its a slam dunk: The Hulk!

Cheers

MB

PS: why not the Daytona?, you have two watches with the date function, it might annoy you when you look also at the daytona (as a reflex) and find none.... Well at least it does to me ...

I'd go with a white daytona since you already have black covered. If you don't like the white daytona, then I'd go with the Hulk. Either would fit well in your collection.

Hulk. I am not a Daytona fan due to the lack of date function. If you go with a Daytona I do like the black. I have never been a white dial Daytona fan.

Normally I would vote Daytona but given the black faces you have now I would go Hulk, but agree if you have the heart for flipping, then maybe your brain is calling out for the DJ to go and the two new ones to come in.
