Newbie here! My watches

Hello everyone,
These are the beginning of my collection... What do you guys think?
I was thinking of selling my DJII and getting the hulk, should I do it or keep as is... Thanks!

I'm not fond of that dial for the DJII so I would get the Hulk instead.

Welcome to TRF! Watches look great. Really your preference if you want the Hulk, go for it.

The Hulk is outrageously attractive. I wear my WG Daytona quite a bit, but the Hulk gets all the attention. And the green goes with all colors; I wear it with everything.

My one reservation is the GMT and Hulk, while different colors, will look very similar. I'd ditch the GMT myself.

You have two great watches. Welcome to the forum. I'd go with the Hulk, everyone needs a Submariner!

John, those lyrics are from The Offspring, a punk rock/rock band, although it is kind of rappish. Love that band.

Wow, amazing how bloated and fat the DJII looks side by side with the GMT....

sell it for sure, getting anything else would be a good idea.

Welcome to TRF! Your joining a great group of people here. If I were you I'd keep both the DJ and the BLNR. Save for the hulk. I think you'd regret flipping either one of those beauties!

I don't like the dial on that DJII but I definitely wouldn't trade it for the hulk. The sub and gmt are too similar. I would keep what you have and consider getting a hulk (or something else) later on.

Welcome and great start. I'd go for the sub. Every collection needs at least one sub. Happy hunting.

Sounds like you're tired of the DJII, so get the hulk if it's calling you.
Then later get another DJII, if they sing to you.
