Then you would like the 136660 DSSD JC. Blue to black gradient dial with a black bezel.

I always slant blue. That said, the hulk is the only watch I have ever sold that I actually regret getting rid of.

♛- Yet to be determined, but a white 16520 is on the short list. (I believe that I'll be able to read it better than my old 116520)

I saw the Smurf on a billboard in my city and fell in love with it. I've still yet to have one, but given the chance at the right price, I'd be all over it!

The Hulk is a beautiful watch as well, but I wear more blues than greens, so the Smurf has my vote.

Blue is better than green in general. But both are very nice.

The blue is lovely but the green is special, iconic even. By a thin margin the Hulk.

And sunburst or not, I'd love to see a blue sunburst version of that Sub, probably be on Plat.

To make them equal, a WG Hulk would be cool.

Hulk or Smurf ?

This is like Ali vs Foreman! Heavy weights for sure in the all time favorite lists..

I have to go Hulk on this one! If the I had to chose one or the other.

Lucky to own both. WG Sub gets 10xs more wear than LV.
Nothing compares to its heft and cool factor.

Smurf. Not even that close. Hulk is nice. But it’s no Smurf.

I think I’m in the minority but I really prefer the WG 12 series sub over either. That blue bezel really pops against the glossy black dial. It contrasts beautifully without clashing. Stunner in person…

You can't go wrong with any of them, I love the Smurf but seeing it close Hulk, I would go Hulk.

I own both and it’s the Smurf hands down! Love the PCLs on the Smurf and that “cashmere” look of the WG. It’s not notable in all lighting but it’s gorgeous. I find the Hulk so situational and will probably part with it on the next big purchase.

When both were sitting in the case, I chose Hulk. I wish I could go back in time and snatch a Smurf.

Got both of them. Hulk collecting dust. The Smurf is the best Sub ever.
AD offered me the new Starbucks, (collected it) which I wore like 3 times, then parted with it.
My Smurf is really well worn and shows it, it looks even better beat up than in pristine shape.

I would go for the blue one. Love the color but also the weight of white gold. But the green one is also a great watch! Just have both!

You're basically asking if we prefer blue or green...I'd pick neither, give me the all black sub.
