D-Blue vs Hulk

Purely for fun. Which one would you choose and why?

Hulk. I prefer superhero nicknames to people calling my D-Blue the "James Cameron watch"

Plus its a bit thick for my taste.

hulk. db is too big for me. I like the green bezel and the way the dial changes color on different lighting.

Hulk. Deep blue is way too thick for me.

LVC was a go-to for me until I got the D-Blue.
I just love everything about it. Size and over engineering included.

Same here... went with the LV too

The Deepsea was just sat way too high for me and felt top heavy. Stunning watch to look at though

Tough call. For a one and only watch Hulk no question, D Blue is a weekend warrior watch that doesn't play well with sleeves. Now if I had a daily and dress watch I can see D Blue being a perfect part of that set.

Neither

One is too large and one is too green

Deep blue for the very special dial! It’s engineering and it’s beefy size

For me it’s LVC without question! Now, if your actually as big as the Hulk...then your gonna wanna go with the DB. I’ve seen it in the wild and I would say very few guys can wear it without it looking like it’s wearing them!

I'd go D-Blue, purely based on color preference and I really like how the dial fades to black. Not knocking the Hulk though, its a great looking watch.

That blue dial is my favorite in the entire Rolex lineup, but just can't pull off that thickness. Not a fan of green. So will have to pick the DSSD even though wouldn't personally buy either.

Tough call - I own both, like both, but the Hulk is more versitile, and gets somewhat more wrist time

Both are awesome, but I think I would get more wear out of the Hulk. The green is awesome and I love the size of it as opposed to the D Blue.

How does the D-Blue wear compared to your 26400IO? I bet the ROO wears better since it’s in titanium and less top heavy.

I really like the looks of the D-Blue the best, but it is a big watch. Maybe Rolex can make me a 40mm version.
