Decisions, decisions - Hulk or BLNR...
About the same price. Both very very nice. Leaning towards the Hulk.
Your choice?

As an owner of both - if I really had to choose it would be BLNR

BLNR is my choice, but either piece is stunning and a keeper.

Hulk! I don't get the hype with the batman. It's nice but not Hulk nice.

Own both. I've only had the Hulk for about 2 weeks so I'm still in the honeymoon phase. Both excellent pieces!

I own both also, bought the Hulk first then the blnr. If I had to choose just one it would be the Hulk.

That is really the issue to me.

Always been skeptical about the Hulk until I tried it on. It was strikingly unique - definitely a piece that needs to be experienced in person.
Hulk for me. |

I like and considered both. To me they each have potential draw backs that prevented me from pulling the trigger. I was always worried which I would tire of first PCLs or a green dial. But in the end I would have been buying the BLNR despite the PCLs, as I don't like them, and buying the LVC specifically for the green dial hoping my taste never changed. So between these two I'd go LVC. But I'm an 82nd ABN guy (former) so what do I know.

Do you need/would you use a GMT function?
How do you feel about polished center links? Do you use Glidelock a lot on your 114060 or are you more a set it and forget it? Which bezel color do you like better? How much do you love or not love the green dial on the Hulk? For me, I'd go Hulk. I love that watch and it would be my next choice after my 114060. But I have no use for a GMT function really and strongly prefer Glidelock and brushed center links. But, if I had your collection with two subs already, a basic black and a cool non-black, then I would be giving more consideration to the GMT for diversity. Still...would be hard for me to pass on that green dial. |

Get both because they're entirely different beautiful pieces as far as dial color, bezel color, complication, clasp, bracelet and comfort are concerned.

I've owned a BLNR since 2014 and love it. I've owned two LVc subs and neither have lasted. The last one I sold just last week.
BLNR is an easy choice IMO. |

Ive had the BLNR since Easter and I'm now waiting for my Hulk to arrive
So I went BLNR first and it would be my choice if I was only getting one or the other. |

Would probably go with the LVC I'm not a fan of the PCL's on the BLNR although I do like the blue and black combo so I would take the BLNR on a sub bracelet

I do wish that green was a touch darker...

LVC for me. I had the BLNR and flipped it after 5 or 6 months.

I have both but the LVC is just gorgeous! Not to say the BLNR isn't gorgeous as well. The dial of the LVC is truly a work of art and glidelock is also amazing.
