Did i do the right thing in flipping?

i 've just got The hulk for2months and wear it almost everyday ..Day after day i felt it's not suit me (may be my fav color is black) so i traded my hulk for black SubC





my hulk , it,s nice watch but not for me




and today i have this



i think my new black subc is more iconic,practical and go with every attire

what do you guy think .Did i do the right thing?

You said it yourself the SubC more suitable for you. Don't second guess yourself.

If you're more comfortable wearing it then you made the right decision. I LOVE the look of the TT GMT however I know I wouldn't feel comfortable. Not that it has gold but that it would clash with my tattoos. It wouldn't look right to me so I wouldn't enjoy it as much.

Well if you felt the green didn't suit you, then you did the right thing!

My personal preference is for the black too.

I won't have done it, which is why I still have my Hulk. But did you do the right thing? Absolutely. If a watch isn't singing to you why keep it?

There are a lot more black ones, sometimes going with the crowd is a sound approach

yes you've the right thing if you think you rarely wear the hulk,... I have done similar thing by flipping the 16610 LV to regular 16610.... both are great watches anyway...

If you like the black more than you did a good job. A watch is for you and no one else. I sometimes forget that also when looking at buying a new watch

I probably prefer the LVc myself so would have kept that but I often think about adding a SubC to my collection so I can rotate the two. Both are fantastic watches but if your more comfortable with the black then you made the right decision. I do however think the LVc went great with your camo t-shirt in the photo

I would've waited a bit longer than two months but if you're happy then it's the right move.

No worries if you change your mind it's an easy flip back to the hulk. You didn't flip a watch that is difficult to find. Enjoy the ride

If you like the more classic black sub more than of course you did the right thing!

Sometimes have to go with your gut 👍

Funny you did this, I did the opposite almost a year ago. I went from black to green as I wanted to stand out!

I loved the Hulk (and still do) but traded mine off after two years. The green just lost its magic for me. If you're happy with what you now have, then you did the right thing.
