Superhero day! Hulk and the Bruiser!

My friend managed to source for the new GMT Master II from Prestons in Leeds. So I went with him and ended up buying a hulk myself! Good weather and a beautiful day!

I think it's better than winning the Championships!Name:  ImageUploadedByTapatalk 21373209328.430583.jpg

Shouldn't superheroes synchonize their watches?

Big CONGRATS ! but imo or just my eyes, "the HULK" looks much nicer and not busy-looking as "Bruiser". And on the first pic, GMT hand looks purple color under that light.

Agreed, the "Hulk" has a classier more refined look than the "Bruised Bat". In fact, the LVC is quite dressy in comparison to the LNC, and I notice that when I wear my LVC, I get a lot more eyes looking that direction as well as a few comments here and there. You will almost never get a single comment on an LN.
