10% off or Retail

You need to pick the one you like better period. Not because one is worth more than the other and especially not because it's extremely popular on this forum. I passed on a mint condition Hulk for $7500 last year and passed at another for retail at the AD. After seeing prices rise, I regretted not buying one. Now thinking about it more clearly, I did the right thing. I would've bought the watch but probably would've ended up selling it by now. With the BLNR, I loved it from the beginning, had no second thoughts and took it as soon as the AD called me. My initial impression of the Hulk was that I love the green dial but it's not versatile enough for me. That's still what I think today. Green used to be my favorite color. Over time I started liking blue more. In fact my first watch ever was a quartz Swatch chrono on a green faux croc strap. I still have it along with one of the first Swatch autos with an actual ETA from circa '91.

That said, I just saw a rumor of a gold 116618LV. If that's released it could very well mean the end of the SS LV. Something to consider if you really love the green. OTOH the black Sub is the classic. What other watches do you have? This also matters when choosing to go black or green.
