I saw the Hulk out tonight on a friend, I had my Sub C on. The Hulk was nice but you had to know it was a Rolex to know it is a Rolex, it did not shout Rolex like my black Sub C we all agreed. That is not saying it is a nice piece and looks great, in fact it looked lovely and did sparkle. I think the black Sub C or BLNR stands better.

For me BLNR.....you get a GMT and the newest release.
But full disclosure I am not a fan of Green.
Good luck! Both are excellent choices!

When you stop and think about it and don't get distracted by the new shiny thing, LVc by the widest of possible margins.

The Hulk.
You get several shades of color from green to almost black depending on the angle and lights.

BLNR.

I think it is a great combination, and a functional as well as attractive color scheme. I think I would tire of the green, whereas the blue/black would have more lasting appeal.

It's subtle. And subtlety has staying power...
