I prefer the Hulk but it is a personal choice that would be difficult. I would keep the BLNR and then save and add the Hulk.

Would really appreciate your thoughts on this. j
As someone who owns and loves the Hulk, and bought the BLNR for my brother as a bday gift a couple of years ago, I agree with others who have said keep the BLNR and add the Hulk when you're able.
Do not sell the BLNR or you will likely regret it.

Both are fantastic watches, and so different. The BLNR is definitely the more versatile watch between the two, and is the perfect travel watch as you know.

If you love both, don't flip. Add.

The other way will be a LOT more expensive, trust me.

One is a diver, the other a GMT. Which function is most useful for you? Keep in mind the GMT will go down to 100m, but isn't useful to time how much air you have left.

It’s actually a personal opinion, but if you must flip any it should be the Hulk, i will stick with the BLNR.

When I bought my first Rolex it was a choice between the BLNR and LV. I went with the BLNR and still stand behind that decision. My recommendation is always to add and not replace.

I own both and prefer the LV. The color is more rich and I find myself staring at it all the time.

Tough one. I would not sell the BLNR. Add the LV. I own and equally love both.

Hulk is far more limiting imo. Great for St Patrick’s Day, but blue / black would be more versatile.

Definitely the BLNR is my choice. I'm currently trying to find and buy one myself. The Hulk is beautiful watch too though. I agree with others here to add the Hulk while still keeping the Batman if you can.

BLNR. In fairness I’ve been very closed-minded regarding the hulk, because I feel green doesn’t go as well with a lot of my wardrobe.

I had the chance to buy both on the same day....I went with the BLNR. More versatile color scheme, and the extra complication is a bonus... to me at least.

Why on earth would you replace a GMT BLNR with a green sub? I wouldn't even suggest having both, the green sub is ugly.
