A TOUGH CHOICE......which would you ?

Assume.....
Your one and only
Price isn’t a factor..(All are very close)
Size isn’t a factor
PCL’s not a factor
Doesn’t need to be dressed up

1. 116600.... SD4K
2. 116610LV....hulk
3. 116710....blnr

I've had all three. I like the 116600 the best. It's the one I really wish worked for me but I couldn't get a good fit with it.

Out of the three the BLNR was the most comfortable on me.

SD43 (just to be annoying and toss one out that isn’t on the list)

But among those three I’d go for the BLNR - for a one and only, it strikes me as the most versitile. That having been said, I own the Hulk, not the BLNR...the LV is great to wear in rotation

The SD4K makes my heart do things the other two can’t do. The lugs and dial won me over. To this day I haven’t felt that impressed about any other SS sport model.

Not a fan of any of those, if I had to choose it would probably be the seadweller.

Hulk. I need some color and usually I like blue but the blnr doesn’t do it for me.

I had all three but let them all go.

SD4k is a perfect one watch but is boring.
Hulk - great to begin with but the green gets boring but as an investment choice could be the one.
BLNR - very nice watch but tends to lose it's sparkle. Easy to understand why it gets flipped a lot.

BLNR for me. The green would be nice but not every day. The SD would work if it was the SD43. Leaves the BLNR.

Have the Hulk & BLNR, alongside a SubC ND. If I could have one only then BLNR as it’s very versatile and can be a watch with a suit and also with a t shirt

Not tough for me at all.

SD is too big, and I do not like that shade of green.

I'll stick with my BLNR which I love.

BLNR, although for a one and only it should really be a BLRO!

The SD4, a modern state of the art watch with all the advantages over the older Subs/Dwellers yet keeping a classic design

I’ve owned 2 of the 3 and since sold them as I prefer the 5 digit Rolex references.
If pressed to buy 1 back and it be a one and only I would choose the BLNR.

blnr for me. I know this won't go down well but the brushed bracelet and abnormally large clasp on the subs make an expensive and luxury watch such as the sub seem more industrial and tool like IMO.
