As you're in UK I'd get the DB, it's a bit of a unicorn watch at the mo.

I agree. Plus, the BLNR is black and blue, and so is the DSSD.

Don't do it. You'll regret it.

Very tough call. I'd probably keep hulk and seek to add. All great picks

Assuming 5711 is blue - that's a lot of blue.

I guess my thinking would be that if you have to flip one to get the DBlue, then it might as well be the hulk. This way you'll have a diver and a GMT in your rotation.

Good luck and welcome to TRF

Not a hulk fan so I would clearly flip for the d-blue. I agree with some other comments that it's a whole level above the hulk.
However, you should try on the d- blue before making any decision. Having flipped a few watches in the past couple of months , I realize, I don't miss the old ones!
I might be in the extreme minority but I'm enjoying my Rolex's a lot more than my PP's including my 5711 especially for daily wear.

I'd keep the Hulk. IMO it's more versatile due to it's less imposing size. Sure it's green but it's beautiful. Gets my vote.

I agree with the recommendation to keep the Hulk, buy the DSSD now and postpone PP purchase for later. Good luck with your decision.

I would find a way to make it happen without a flip. Good luck with the decision!
