I have both and are fantastic watches.

But if i could only have one, the LVc, just has the edge.

Hard one!!! Two great watches that if anything only compliment eachother
The good news is that you can’t go wrong with either! Get the one that speaks to you the most
I have both but the LVc gets way more of my wrist time

Neither has ever really jumped out at me but my style is more toned down. I'd get more use out of the GMT purely based on the colors. If your closet is full of black and brown leather shoes and white, black and grey sneakers like mine get the GMT. If you are a red, yellow, orange, green sneaker guy get the green one. I'm not sure a green watch is something I'd wear more than a few times a year...but that's me, which one do you see yourself wearing?

Have both. Love watches equally. If one doesn't sing to you more the brushed bracelet and glidelock on LVc would sway me that way first. Especially if planning as a daily wear.

I'm going with the lvc hulk. I'm concerned if they do Change movement on the other so I will wait a year. I think I will get the lvc also because all my other watches are standard colors. I want something that pops. The green just looks awesome. I like the fact the shade of face changes whether you are indoors or outdoors

You were going to buy one within a week now you’re waiting a year?
Don’t put the purchase off because of a potential movement change as there’s also a chance it’ll be discontinued.

Good point nairn1980. I think I
Might get rid of my 2 tone skydweller to free up some cash to make both happen. I find myself barely wanting to wear my skydweller.

I owned both. I think the LV is a cooler piece, but for a one and only watch the BLNR is far more versatile imo.

GMTs in general are the most useful, unless you actually use a sub for diving.

Can’t go wrong with either.

I have the BLNR. It pairs well with most of my business wardrobe, which is made up of mostly blue, black, navy, and grey.

Then again, the splash of green (which I’ve heard changes colors depending upon the lighting) could be refreshing.

Again, can’t go wrong with either.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Looks like those who choose BLNR have some points to support. (Every day watch, goes with business or jeans, etc.) those that choose hulk seem to have no points to support and just want to write “HULK” in all caps.

The green sub is amazing. I would have it over the BLNR GMT any day.

The Hulk dial is a lot more interesting visually than the BLNR. The Batman is a lot closer to the standard GMT than the Hulk is to the black sub.

I have and love both. I think The BLNR is a little more comfortable on my wrist but both get equal time on my wrist.

A tough choice here, but i'll have to go for BLNR due to personal taste.

Own both...get both..If I had to pick one it would be Hulk. It is Rolex Green and not similar to any othwr sub. The Batman is close to GMT LN or even a black Sub. Some people hate the PCL's, but persobally love them. They are scratch magnets, but add extra bling.
