Just hold them next to each other and if the bluesy doesnt look 100x nicer you need your eyes checked.
If you think your OPINION is what everybody should think, you need a reality check

Sorry. Not helpful. But it is the truth - in my case.
Sell the wife before losing the watch. Anything but lose the watch.

I have actually found I like the SS LVc more pound for pound than I do my YG Blue Subc, as I think they have executed the green dial so well, and while the blue dial is also fantastic PP, AP and VC also make great blues, but no one does anything like this Rolex green.

Bluesy looks better, and the fact that the hulk is only winning by a slim margin REALLY illustrates that. The Hulk is all hype and no substance IMO. Take away the hype and the bluesy blows it out of the water.

i like both actually... however when you consider green vs TT its going to split the vote. Both are polarizing to some extent

For me...Bluesy. I never wear green, but wear some sort of blue 90% of the time so that makes it for me!

Both are stunning....but I vote hulk. Love my LV... especially when it' sunny outside. I love Blusey but sometimes I think it's a bit too flashy.

If it’s the only Rolex to you, hulk. If one of the pack, then bluesy.

I should be picking up both in October from my AD, having got a Bluesy for a friend of mine from my AD a week ago, and having seen a Hulk or two, I can not split them, both will share significant wrist time with me.

The only reason the hulk is ahead is because it’s SS!!!
That’s it !!!
If the Bluesy was all SS with the same blue sunburst Dial
the hulk would’ve been dust !!!
Simple as that ...

I have a 16613 and 116610LV. Love them both but the Hulk gets more wrist time currently. Maybe because it's the newer addition.
I understand some folk's perspective that the TT Bluesy looks a little out-dated or old man-ish. I felt the same way when my dad handed it down to me. I felt it wasn't my style. But as time has passed, as an early 40 yr old, I gotta say I absolutely love its iconic look. And I get plenty more compliments on the TT Bluesy from casual watch admirers compared to the Hulk.

The Bluesy says you've made it. The Hulk says your credit card is maxed.

I never thought I’d gravitate toward a TT, but the blue bezel and dial tie the gold and steel together so we’ll that I’m reluctantly voting Bluesy.
