116600 is a bit bulky for a daily. Green not really a daily color IMO. Blusey is debatably the only daily in this group, but still a bit flashy for me. I don’t like YMs 1 or 2 so I would never be able to wear it daily.

So if I had to pick

1. Hulk, SD4K, or blusey
2. YM

The SD4K has become a collectible and is only going up and up. Whether its good for everyday wear depends if you want a diver's watch with some heft to it, but not huge as the DeepSea.

SD4K easy. The other models are a bit too bright and showy for me.

Owning both the SDC4k and the Hulk, I can definitely tell you that is a tough choice. However, based on my own wear pattern...the SD wins by the versatility margin!

Unless you have a very large wrist (18 cm++) and/or practice scuba diving regularly, positively Hulk

its interesting in the days of hot watches with blue dials that the YM blue does so poorly in this poll

It's on the top heavy side but that can be easily rectified by adjusting the glidelock tighter.

I've got the SD4K and hulk. Sub is more comfortable when swapping back and forth on the wrist, but if you keep the SD4K on for a bit you just get used to it easily. With comfort not an issue then, black, no bubble and less attention make it my preferred daily.

For everyday wear 116600 SD4k, followed shortly by 116610 LV Hulk. I also have both, they are very close in terms of versatility. The Sea Dweller with its lack of cyclops and black besel is more low-key ergo better versatility. Both are superb watches.

Owned the Blue Yacht, SD4K, and still have the LVC (and an SD43). My LVC is my favorite, and I wear it pretty much as a daily. Besides, I'm a huge Packer's fan, it it matches my game day jersey's perfectly!!

Two weeks ago, I attended a Packer party for the game. Someone (not a WIS) noticed my LVC and said, "hey, that's a cool watch, what is it"? I replied, "my official Green Bay Packers Rolex Submariner". About three people collectively said,..."Ooooooooooooh!" Was a fun moment!

Have had all 4 in my possession and still have 3. Assuming you could have one watch only, the SD4k would be an easy pic because of the black dial, wis point of interest and build. If you had all 4 and wanted to pick a daily driver, any of them could work in my life. For typical considerations, people would argue that the pcls on the ym and gold on the tt might make those a bit blingy for certain situations and of course the Hulk would be a big commitment to green for a daily so all reads would lead back to the SD4k.

I thought this would be the case, and didnt expect Hulk to be this popular for a daily wear. Interesting that you've had all 4. isnt the YM a good choice for all around? Dressy and sporty?

I think the YM is a good choice for daily wear; I was just pointing out general lines of thinking. The Hulk has gained enough in popularity that most are now willing to forego the "it's green!" rhetoric and see it as a sub with a little pop. The SD was a rather unpopular watch as evidenced by its short run so I'm actually a little surprised it got so many votes but again, when you're deciding on a "daily" or "one and only" most people are going to have lots of considerations. People saw it as basically a submariner that cost a couple of grand more which brings us to the YM. It's also pricier at MSRP than the subs and gmt plus the bezel is platinum, which is easier to ding/scratch than ceramic.

I should definitely note: I bought the Hulk and YM for my wife, who is close to 6' and I personally dig how these watches look on her but they haven't spent much time on my wrist. The SD4000 is also something I own but it's stickered so I don't wear that either but spent a few days with one on my wrist. The tt blue was one of my first pieces and I loved it but decided to go big with a yg skydweller so it got traded in with the purchase.

really a toss up between hulk and sd4k, i suppose they are similar in cost also at this current time, but one might get a hulk at retail if AD likes you.

I know not part of the original question, but the discontinued black GMT is a great daily driver that is functional for those who travel and can be dressed up or down. The PCLs seem to be love or hate on TRF.
