Really not into GMTs and not a fan of 6 digits Sub's lugs (rest of the watch looks good though).
I also voted with my wallet and the SDC was the answer. Sure the LVC and BLNR get most of the fan boy hype but the SDC is a true Rolex work horse with perfect presence and proportions. For me the BLNR isn't attractive; the LV is growing on me but really not enough to make me open my wallet. If I ever go green it will be the DD with green dial.

I think the BLNR is the most practical and flexible of the three listed.

In fact, any GMTII would be just as good.

It doesn't hurt that the BLNR is a spectacular looking watch.

I wear this every day. It would undoubtedly be my one and only if I had to.

I voted BLNR. If it’s going to my only watch, I couldn’t handle all the green or the thickness of the SD.

I voted SD4k if you can get a good fit. Second would be BLNR. This based on the fact that you said one watch only.

Had the same dilemma and ended up with the BLNR
can’t be happier. It’s now my daily watch and gets 100% of my wrist time.

I’ve owned all 3 and I love them all but the blue on the blnr is mesmerizing! The hulk is beautiful as well but the green is a bit too much. The SD4000 is classic but boring after a while. Get the Batman. It’s a perfect balance with a splash of color.

LVc, all day every day.

It amazes me that some say the BLNR is the most versatile and/or practical. If it is, then it's because of the second time zone function and that's it.

The same folk often say that the LVc is not for everyday wear or the green isn't versatile. Um, yes it is and more so than the BLNR. I lived with a BLNR for the thick end of three years and, whilst it is indeed a fantastic watch, that blue is quite a unique shade. I occasionally found it a little out of place with my attire but never had that problem with my LVc.

If scratches are an issue for you then the PCLs of the BLNR will drive you nuts.

Had all 3 but LN instead of BLNR.

One and only, it will be SD4K>BLNR>Hulk due to color influence.

Of those three as a one and only I'd go SD4K but in all honesty I wouldn't be disappointed by any of them. I'd throw the 116710LN into the mix though too.....

I am in the same boat, SD would be my choice. I've had all three numerous times as I've wanted to like the 6 digit case, but eventually ended up with a 16600 and never looked back

Amen, my choice too. Best will be 16600 on DSSD bracelet.

BLNR

The most versatile watch I have ever owned. Looks great with jeans. Somehow looks classy with a suit.

It's not just a Batman you know, it's a Bruce Wayne too.

If I were to have only one watch, I would sell all the rest and keep the BLNR.
