Given the above, I'd go with the GMT to add a handy complication to your collection. Unless you dive real deep you already have the ET bezel in the stable covered.

I try to like the hulk but it's just doesn't do anything for me. BLNR would be my pic

Robbyman · 4 January 2014, 07:05 AM

I cannot do the bling with the PCL on the BLNR, get these brushed if you buy it!

Go to the AD and try both on again. Walk out with the one you like more. Personally, I'd go with the BLNR

Sy1441 · 4 January 2014, 07:21 AM

BLNR, love the hulk but Batman beats him hands down.

lapince · 4 January 2014, 07:42 AM

For me the sub, LV or LN like I have, the bezel of the BLNR is in my taste to "busy", and don't like very much the 2 color bezels, a friend has the "normal" GMT C, when put next to my sub there's no comparison in my taste. At first I didn't like the LV but when I saw it in real it really rocks, the dial which changes color going from very bright green to practically black according to the light is awsome, whereas the previous green sub dials didn't have that, if you didn't have any other watch my personal taste would tell you take a black sub, with or without date, but seeing your collection one word: HULK....

And also the polished middle links on the GMT's just doesn't do it for me, it's like trying to dress up a "tool watch", and I have a GMT on my Pam 233 and never use it, even though I travel frequently, to say the truth the GMT arrow on mine is hidden under the hours hand.

Don't know if I've been much help, after all it's a question of personal taste, since you bought one 3 months ago new something tells me that you'll probably be able to buy one of the 2 and the 2nd a little later.

Good luck

I have both,,,,,,,,,,,,,but wear BLNR ,, [ YOU DONT SEE MANY,,, when out ] but saying that back in august at a golf event I spotted 4 hulks , 3 blnr , in the same room,,, and yes there were Daytona's and many other luxury makes,,,,,,,,,,,,,

wctm68 · 4 January 2014, 10:32 AM

Get the blue dial Yachtmaster... It is just incredible. Just bought one and got 20% off which I think is a good deal. The plat. bezel is a shiny luminance that reeks of quality. Pictures don't do this watch justice. Once you see in it person you will be hooked.

HL65 · 4 January 2014, 10:44 AM

Tough call and so different....Come down to personal preference and what you have in collection.

toph · 4 January 2014, 10:49 AM

Side by side... Hulk by a long way IMHO.
I thought I'd love the BLNR and hate the LVC but in person it was quite the opposite.

phiberglass · 4 January 2014, 02:51 PM

Both, of course.

xbox · 4 January 2014, 03:23 PM

Break it down a bit:

- PCL or brushed
- black dial or not
- bezel preferences
- clasp

See what fits the bill!

scheneider · 4 January 2014, 03:25 PM

BLNR all the way

CWIN · 4 January 2014, 03:33 PM

I faced a similar dilemma and wound up buying both. I did, however, end up selling my LVC to fund another purchase. I don't regret the sale but I do miss my Sub dearly. I think they are an absolute perfect pair. Since I could only keep one, I decided on the BLNR.

Investr · 4 January 2014, 03:36 PM

Blnr, easiest decision ever.

brianrx74 · 4 January 2014, 04:01 PM

BLNR for me. Already have a sub and that blue is awesome.

Hairdude1 · 4 January 2014, 04:39 PM

BLNR gets my vote

elcompa · 4 January 2014, 08:58 PM

BLNR as it goes with just about anything, in any environment. For me, the PCL is part of what makes it such a fungible watch.

Mr. K · 4 January 2014, 09:11 PM

Get the hulk if it is not going to be your only watch. It is a beautiful piece.

If it will be a daily watch, go with the BLNR

polarinda · 4 January 2014, 09:24 PM

Lvc.

ath1212 · 4 January 2014, 09:36 PM

Hulk all the way. The blue/black doesn't do it for me.

zhiunit · 4 January 2014, 10:54 PM

do u need the function of the GMT? or do u want a slightly bigger (by a tiny bit in thickness) divers watch with the adjustable divers band?

RICHARD_LEWIS · 4 January 2014, 11:05 PM

If i was in the OP's position, i would flip the Breitling and get both.

However, if you cant do that and got to choose - i'd go for the Sub-C LV. The BLNR is beautiful, but i think the LV is very classy and an absolute stunner!

Racerdj · 4 January 2014, 11:28 PM

For me it would be the BLNR.

Vivalas · 5 January 2014, 01:47 AM

Thanks for all your replies guys. I've made a decision that from reading this thread about 70% of you agree with if you get my drift :-)
