Sub Date C and BLNR

Has anyone got both they can put up next to each other? Got the Sub Date C thinking of adding the BLNR

IMHO Subs are black, so Date LN and BLNR would be my choice.


ps. really perfect for me would be both LN but that's another story.

I see your point but thinking the hulk offers something quite different in that the other two are black (well half blue) on one

Sub-c is better for everyday IMO.. and i love the BLNR.

my opinion, if only 1, SUBc, if you have another watch you daily, then BLNR.

You have to have a Sub. No question. Not sure if I would get a SubC or something older, though.

Already have the BLNR, and love it.

If you're getting the Hulk and BLNR then you'll need an Exp II in my opinion to make a fantastic trio!!

I think I'm missing the SubC date. I may be interested in yours. Aargh see your from the UK Taz.

I'd prefer the black Sub w BLNR. Having said that I'm considering a HULK. Sooo .... I think either combo works and is nice. I just think the Black Sub works w everything. The BLNR would probably need to be the primary watch IMO and the HULK would be secondary. I love green. I even bought a green suit coat in college but I really got to the point that I didnt think it was practical. I wonder if I'd feel the same about the HULK. I know lots of people wear HULK's everyday and I think they often look great. In general I think they look best with at least tan skin or darker skin. If you are pretty fair skinned I'd forgo the HULK.
