Hulk.

At some point you must ask yourself: how many more black dials do I want in my collection?

One Ping Only · 17 January 2015, 04:21 AM

Blond or brunette?

I think both is the right answer, and since the LV is probably available at a better discount right now maybe start there.

jjnd08 · 17 January 2015, 04:24 AM

I'd switch my black dial Daytona for a white, and then get a BLNR.

That will give you a diverse looking duo.

While I appreciate the beauty of the LVC, I had it for my second watch and the green lost its novelty pretty quickly...it was flipped within 3 months.

tkerrmd · 17 January 2015, 04:28 AM

both are great as a daily wearer. I think people who don't have the watch make too big a deal over what the green will go with. the way it changes in light it goes with anything so not really an issue

I have thought about that exact scenario!

00pumpkin · 17 January 2015, 04:34 AM

Because you already have a Daytona with PCL's I would go for the Sub for something a little more rugged. Either would be a great choice though.

B.B.B. · 17 January 2015, 04:43 AM

Hulk. The green sunburst dial is really special.

Sanyu2011 · 17 January 2015, 04:46 AM

Its just a SYCOPHANCY of a human being nature.I'm not sure why people ask opinion of others about the watch which they want to purchase instead they should ask to their own soul. No matter what watch you have LV or BLNR no one will notice and to the same after having on your hand for few months you will try to updgrade to a new one. 99% this is the case with everybody no matter if you agree or not.

Tank0040 · 17 January 2015, 04:47 AM

Don't worry about colors. The very fact that the hulk was made in such an unusual colour implies that it was meant to be different from the usual counterparts. It was meant to be outstanding, on its own, and against everything that you wear on your body. It's a piece that speaks for itself with a unique identity.

So much said, I have both too. HAHA. Had the blnr then found the green growing more and more on me. Awesome duo to have.

Thanks for the insight, that helps a lot!

Well aren't you just a little Debbie downer

I do disagree, so I must be the 1% you are referring to. I do want and appreciate everyone's opinion on the subject and that is why I asked. I even appreciate yours as I asked for any and all comments.

I would say my only concern about the LV is, does it go well with all colors (attire) Also, I do not dive and I rarely travel, just FYI

Current watch is: SS Daytona 116520 Black dial

Any and all opinions and thoughts welcome!

I have had them both. All three, if you count the Daytona. While my tastes have turned to the more classic Rolex models, if I were to have held on to one, it would have been the BLNR. To me is is the more versatile of the 2.

If you do decide to change out the dial on the Daytona, consider sourcing an earlier dial with the black sub dial surrounds rather than the silver. The black on white has more "character" in my opinion.

If you don't like the question, just ignore it.

chris975d · 17 January 2015, 05:24 AM

I've owned both, and (unfortunately) flipped both. But the LV is the only one I'm actively trying to get back. I miss it that much. At the end of the day, while the BLNR is a great watch, the blue is only on half the bezel, and the rest of the watch is black. So if you like color, there's really not that much of it on the BLNR.

It is understandable that everyone has an opinion, but it really baffles the mind when responses like this are presented. The OP is looking for feedback between the two watches. If a person has nothing to add, or nothing positive to say, then for the God's sake don't reply to this thread! Can you honestly say that there is anything gained with statements like this??

Members here value the opinions of others that share the same passion in this watch game. Yes, everyone will make their own decision but guidance can help make that decision a little easier.
And your 99% thing is just plain nonsense.

I've had both, sold the BLNR, and just sold the Hulk, I'm going for a sub C non date, for me it's the real submariner

In France both are basically the same price at grey dealers or second hand...

totally disagree with ya, WE all care and notice so what else matters!!

a lot of people have watches we consider getting and share their real world experience with the forum. this provides additional insight that one may have initially not thought of so I refrain from telling people not to ask others opinions

you may be surprised you may learn something from someone else

travisb · 17 January 2015, 07:17 AM

Back on track - I got the LV before the BLNR was introduced so it was a non issue for me. I'll say I like the brushed bracelet with glidelock clasp over the PCLs with easylink extension. I like the BLNR bezel more with it's seamless transition of color and it's GMT function can be very useful. The dial on the LVC is something special.
Given you already have the Daytona, I think the LVC is it.

Cinquecento · 17 January 2015, 07:19 AM

Personally i like the Hulk and would buy that for my collection, but it would be in a rotation and get very little wear, if i only had a Daytona i think i would add the BLNR for more diversity. The green doesn't go with all attire.

SeaDweller1220 · 17 January 2015, 07:28 AM

Both, but Batman first then Hulk.
