I love the BLNR, and I'm wearing mine as I type this, but in your collection I'd add the LVc first. The reason being you already have all watches with polished center links, and you should have one without.

Just my opinion, of course, but I think it's mandatory to have at least one watch with that tough, utilitarian look. (SD4K fills that need in my collection.)

Hulk really sparkles. The blnr is basically a gmt with a half blue bezel. The hulk simply pops big time.

I'd choose the BLNR over the Hulk anytime.

There's only a few Rolex models we can discuss right? I guess you never posted something on this forum that wasn't posted a lot of times before right ? Thanks for your time guys!

Well said!

I'd go for BLNR. I think it's more versatile than the hulk.

Thanks everyone for your input. I'm leaning towards BLNR but the Hulk is really unique. Really wish I could pick up both at the same time 😃

Blnr More functional more versatile all answers correct but it does not look like this...

You'll likely end up with both.

Hatman14 · 5 July 2016, 08:16 PM

I chose the BLNR first, had it just over a year and I'm currently waiting for a LV to come into work to buy that too. You'll probably end up with both so pick the one and start your quest for the other :)

I couldn't decide ended up with the BLNR first and the LVC 12 months later. Best outcome.

eltonbalch · 6 July 2016, 02:24 AM

Those are two nice (and popular) choices and you will probably end up with both. I favor the hulk because it has the glide lock clasp, no PCL's, trip lock crown and it just feels a bit more substantial. The look also varies depending on the lighting; in low light it just looks like a regular Sub and in bright sunlight it has a much different character depending on the lighting angle. I would be far more inclined to own the GMT with a coke bezel (red and black) as the blue and black combo just doesn't have enough "pop" for me. As a former owner of the old school Pepsi bezel, I'd really like the new version, but I can't justify the PM cost. I've only tried on the BLNR a couple of times so I might have a different opinion after a period of ownership.

beshannon · 6 July 2016, 03:19 AM

BLNR without a doubt, the GMT complication makes it a far more useful watch

wuyeah · 6 July 2016, 03:46 AM

LVC over BLNR.

GotF1 · 6 July 2016, 04:17 AM

Glad to see this thread. Clearly everyone has their opinion. I am going through this same mental debate but lean towards the LV.

Like the saying goes: "There's and a$$ for every seat."

jakerusty · 6 July 2016, 04:24 PM

LV in my opinion. The BLNR looks great in close up photos but in the wild not so impressive.

Ruud Van Driver · 6 July 2016, 04:34 PM

I have both and love both but if I could only have one, it would be the LVc. That dial is special.

No wrong answer though, good luck

Get the BLNR first ... Simply put , it's way more
versatile than the LVC ... Not to say the LVC is not
nice .... IMHO it's very limited unless color coordination
isn't your thing ... Or you just don't care about matching .
Green IMHO does NOT match with everything and anything
as some would like to think unfortunately ... One mans opinion
but I gather I would have a few on my side of thinking ....
If you really must have the LVC add it later or just get it and forget
about versatility .... What the heck , it's ST. Patrick's day everyday
and the Leprechaun is at the end of the rainbow
waiting with drinks !!!

Best wishes and oh ... Get the BLNR !!!
It's already 100 meters water proof probably more
Than you'll use ... Plus it has the multiple time zone
function ... A lot more bang for your buck than the LVC .

Blue>Green

Tried the "Green money" Rolex and it just wasn't all that. You already have the best sunburst in the Biz. Time for some practical versatility with stunning good looks....
Blue et Noir!

P.S. Brushing the PCLs cost barely anything and is reversible if you change your mind.
