GMT BLNR or Hulk?
Hi Guys,
I'm trying to decide between GMT BLNR and the Hulk. I currently have SS Daytona black and TT Sub Bluesy. I love both the BLNR and the hulk. It's such a hard decision. Which one would you guys buy first? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I would get the blnr since you already have a sub.

LVc fits your collection better IMHO compared to another black faced sports Rolex with PCLs.

I would have to direct you to the search function as this is a very common question. Both the hulk and blnr are top tier SS sports models and it is hard to go wrong. Pick your preference or pick the blnr first as you already have a dive watch. You will probably end up with both.
Good luck, Josh |

GMT BLNR or Hulk?
Well you don't need to direct me to the search function on this forum. I know how to use it. I also have read a lot of threads on this subject but isn't this one of the reason why we post on this forum? To get some opinions from fellow members? There's only a few Rolex models we can discuss right? I guess you never posted something on this forum that wasn't posted a lot of times before right ? Thanks for your time guys!

Tough choice. I went BLNR first, still want and lust for a LVc. The bluesy could cover your thirst for blue, I don't think you'll go wrong with either. Good luck!

Both great watches but if had to pick one first it would be the ever so versatile BLNR.

For me it was the BLNR. Have you thought about the blue Yachtmastermaster? (A little curve ball to confuse you;))

Expand the color palette and go with the LVc.

I'd go LVc as Cru said due to your watches you own now. You have to at least try it on and take it outside under the sun then back in under regular office lighting. Your in Southern California. Do some GREEN
Only exception would be if you fly a lot

I'm a bit biased as I just picked up the BLNR for my first Rolex. Both are great watches, but I do agree with others who have pointed out that the BLNR is a lot more versatile than the green sub. The blue and black colors of the GMT pretty much go with anything. You already have a two-tone sub, so I think the GMT would also compliment your collection better with the added time zone complication.

Base on your collection I think BLNR fit the bill more than Hulk.

I was leaning towards the BLNR because its a little more versatile and because I already had a sub but the hulk just looks awesome in the sun. Such a tough choice.

Yes, I love the Yacht Master too but that one has to wait. I have a few other models I would like to get before that one. 👍 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

To add the GMT (two/three time zones) function in your collection, buy the all-rounder BLNR first.

The One is BLNR.
I get carried away with work and taking care of our baby girl but whenever I come back I see at least 2-3 top posts about BLNR. It warms my heart lol. While playing hold em during WSOP, complements were flying left and right but to me it's so exciting to look at my BLNR day after day. I would buy it again any day of the week.

GMT is always the right answer.
