+1. I've long craved the 16613, but now that the 116613 has the new (old) blue, maybe I'll save for that.

Both awesome watches, but my choice would be 16613.
As much as I love Hulk, I prefer older cases and that blue sunburst dial is really something special.

Bonjour!

You might be right, I honestly don't know. It just seems like all these adjectives and nicknames come from us and not actually from Rolex. I just recall a pic someone posted from Basel and the watch in the Rolex exhibit had a sign next to it that said simply "New Dial". That's the only official description of it I've seen.

Love that commercial!

Not a fan of YG TT, so my vote is to keep the Hulk.

Hulk because i prefer the SS over the TT.

I did own a 16613 bluesy as a daily wear for 20 years... I just dont care for TT anymore.

I am not a fan of new sq case subs. BUT that dial on a hulk is just spectacular.
Its difficult to capture it in photos

I tried them on again, and I'm still conflicted. I love the smaller lugs and how the dial and bezel on the 16613 look together, but the band does feel "tinny" and almost cheap compared to the Hulk. I've tried on the 116613 with the sunburst, and it looks better than the flat blue. but I'm not as big of a fan of the larger lugs on a TT, or how the clasp looks.
