(Hulk around $13k, Batman around $15k). This will be a watch that I'll be wearing 50% of the time (switching with my Omega dark side of the moon watch). Also, I have a few questions as well.

1) For people who own the Hulk, do you feel like there is too much green or does it stand out too much when you are wearing it casually?
2) I'm not really a fan of the mirror polish along the center links of the Batman, I think that it scratches easily. Is this true?
3) I'm willing to pay the grey market prices, but I feel that the Batman is just wayyy up there due to the new release of the blnr.

Thanks everyone.

I have both and prefer the BLNR. Yes, the PCL's are susceptible to scratching, but for me, it is a better-looking watch.

The hulk is beautiful in its own right.

I’ve got both, I rarely wear the Batman due to the fact you mentioned it’s shiny links etc...
the hulk a great watch you can mix it up with, dressing smart or casual

I own the Hulk and admire the BLNR but have never wanted to own one. The Hulk is such a beautiful watch with the green dial and bezel and the ultimate in the Glide Lock clasp. The Hulk is tipping up in price as I saw a TS had a new one at over 16k. If you can get the Hulk for around 13K I would act now and wait for the BLNR frenzy from Basel to calm down a bit and see what happens. Being on an AD's list that at some point deliver a BLNR at msrp would also be nice. Good luck.

Owning both, I would say tough choice, plusses on the Hulk would be glidelock clasp, non PCL, minusses just one, the dot on the 12 oclock position on the bezel (forgot what its called), I think it looks a little out of place, just a little.
Initially thought the green looked garish, putting it on, it doesnt.
Plusses on the Batman would be the GMT function, ( I hardly ever use it but I like knowing its there ) the contrasting colors on the bezel, the slightly wider bezel as compared to a sub. Minusses would be easylink (if there wasnt a glidelock to compare it would be perfectly fine). PCL, which does scratch easier. All the minusses are minor and perfectly liveable, except for the scratches.

My recommendation would be for you and everyone to stop calling wristwatches by any nickname at all.

Easy pick for me - HULK
Will only change my mind if it’s new Batman - the it would be difficult

Hulk is the nicer of the 2 in my opinion.

1. True. 2. True. 3. True. Go for the Batman.

Have both, would go BLNR if one watch but would choose the LV if you have others.

I will go for Oyster Batman !

I own the Batman for 2 years now and I the hulk, i will say go with the old Batman. The new bnlr looks like a lady’s watch.

Hulk all the way! I find it to be a truly versatile piece and the dial is fantastic! Plus it has the glidelock .
