Ultimate Duo BLNR and HULK

What do you think? Is the BLNR and HULK a perfect two watch combo? I have the cash saved for two SS sport watches and I'm debating which two I should get. Any opinions?
Thanks

For me, it would be the BLNR + 116619LB WG Submariner:)
As far as SS is concerned, the Hulk + BLNR is just about as good as it gets!

I would go with an EXPII vs the BLNR, but I'm biased :)

I really don't care for the BLNR or the LVC, so no, I wouldn't say that they're the ultimate SS duo, lol.

For me, I'd pick a 114060 and a 214270 or a 114060 and a 216570.

Sounds like a great pair to me. I'd also add a 16710 with all three inserts and then I think everything covered. Happy hunting.

Ultimate combo for me would be
SS subc
DD or DJ

These are the quintessential Rolex watches. Glad I don't have to limit myself. Love the Daytona, Yachtmaster and the GMT too. But the above is what most think of when thinking of Rolex.

There are numerous opinions and answers on this question. As the two you mentioned are in my collection my answer would be yes, I love them both

I would not choose those 2. Nor would I ever buy 2 watches at once. I'd buy one, than see where my heart takes me. There are no right or wrong answers here... But my perfect combo is the 16570 and 5513.

I say yes! I currently have and love the Hulk. The BLNR is next on my horizon. To me they are a great pair!

Obviously no right or wrong answers, just opinions.

I think the best advice has already been given. Don't buy 2 watches at once. Pick the one you like the most and buy that. Then wait a while and see what develops. What you want generally changes.

I went ExpII White dial and then the BLNR. The Hulk is starting to enter into my mind as my 3rd, whenever that may be. I would love a Sub and think the Green would fit well into my small collection of black dial and white dial rolex

Can't argue with that! Many great options, but those are 2 of my favorites.
