Can the Hulk and Batman co-exist in a 3 watch collection?

I've been thinking about my collection and figured a refresh is due. I currently have a Daytona 116520, a Sub 116610LV and a GMT BLNR.

As the Hulk hasn't been getting any wrist time since I acquired the BLNR about a month after I really feel it's time to flip the LV, especially since they are quite similar; the only question I have is which piece should I get next? Ideally something within the same price range...

Look forward to your views!

If your flipping one because it hasn't got wrist time in a few months, you don't really have a "collection", do you, just inventory..

Yes, absolutely. I actually think they complement each other very well.

I wouldn't go flipping anything just yet...give the honeymoon with the BLNR time to wear off. I think you'll regret flipping any of the watches you have at the current moment. Pretty much a dream team set up, IMO.

That's a nice collection you have! As per the comment above, my BLNR didn't leave my wrist for weeks when I first got it, but then later it went back into "rotation" with the others..

Land sea and air. Perfect combo. And the green of the hulk coupled with the brushed bracelet would make it quite a different "beast", compared to the PCLs and the black/blue combo of the BLNR. I would keep this combo.

As others have said, I wouldnt do anything just yet. Let the newness wear off on the new watch and see how you feel. The LV is a great watch and I know I would definitely regret it if I got rid of mine.

I would keep that nice trio. If you sell any of them, you will want to buy it back and there will be a re-admission fee charged.

I call those three the 'Rolex Trifecta'. Win,Win,Win. And that is my collection as well. Unless you need the money, try to work it in to your rotation. The LV is a great watch. Maybe if you wore it more, you would grow to appreciate it more.

They can definitely co-exist IMO but if you are looking to add something else I'd definitely get something other than a Rolex. Perhaps something dressy on a strap to compliment your two sport watches.

I do not view the LV and BLNR as being "quite similar". I would wait a while to see if your taste changes.

Good advice from Larry. I'd sit tight for a while too

Of course they can! They could coexist in a two watch collection in my opinion.

Since they're very distinctly different colors, hell yes - they can coexist

In my opinion, Hulk should be flipped. It is waste of money to have Hulk and BLNR together :)
