Smurf or BLRO
Sorry for asking so many questions guys, but out of the smurf and BLRO which do you prefer and why.
Also, if I got the BLRO, I would buy a date sub in steel (maybe hulk). And if I bought the Smurf, I would buy the BLNR. Need help deciding! Thanks. Oh, it's going along a daytonaC white dial, and reverso if that effects your decision at all

Just depends on the colors you prefer... smurf and BLNR is a lot of blue, where Pepsi and hulk are more of a cranberry and blueberry and minty fresh combo

BLRO and Hulk would be my preferred option out of those two. For the record I love all four but I think the BLRO Hulk combo brings more to the table. A bit more variety in colour and individually the Hulk beats BLNR for me.

Both are great choices. I'd pic the BLRO. I prefer the Pepsi bezel and PCL's.

Smurf is a very special sub imo. My personal fav WG model.

I finally got to own BLNR and Hulk. My vote would therefore be BLRO (so beautiful) and Hulk. Killer combo.

If you could have both of those with the white DaytonaC, that's the trifecta!
If not, and one has to be steel, I'd probably go Pepsi and Hulk. Pepsi is gorgeous, and the Hulk is somewhat more unique in the Sub space. Honestly though, you really can't go wrong with any of the watches you're proposing. Get what you like best and post the incoming!

I've owned all three at different times....but I settled on these two (for my personal choice in a collection) I was underwhelmed by the BLRO colors, don't get me wrong it's beautiful, I just wanted the more vibrant blue/red on the bezel. My favorite color is blue, so it's smurf for a WG piece for me. I have a black dial SS that I love, (Exp II) so Hulk was my other choice.
BLNR and black dial SuB are great pieces also!

BLRO and Ceramic Submariner Date would be my choice. Pretty close to what I have now, except I have a 16710 in stainless steel instead of the BLRO.

Both are great but I prefer Subs to GMT's and would choose the Smurf.

Smurf and BLNR would make a super combo.
 The BLNR is one of the few watches I've flipped that I would like to have back in my collection.

I'd vote BLRO and SS Sub. Reason being, BLRO provides for the traditional bi coloured bezel and you can get your everyday wear out of the SS Sub.

I don't think you can go wrong with either BLRO or Smurf . Either one will fit nicely with what you currently have.

Just personal preference but Smurf all the way. Cant stand the pink color on the BLRO. The original pepsi colors look so much better.

Neil's YG sunburst and BLNR or LN. I've also owned all four. Blro > smurf but in the end the pastels just didn't keep my attention.

Both are great choices but for me the surf gets my vote. The blue just pops compared to the blro. Also the glide lock is the kicker for me all things being equal.

I had the BLRO for less than a week. The white gold was great but the blue/red on the bezel was just off to me. The red is more cranberry to me at least. I know the watch is very popular here but it was just missing something.
