    Question/ Advice: If one has to go...

    Guys, I need your opinions... obviously there are a lot of factors to keep with a watch and I know that we are not going to achive a consensus...
    If one of the 3 had to go which one you choose and why? Any keeper ?

    Thanks,
    David

    Definite keeper for me would be the GMT.

    The one I would let go is the green sub - reason... purely the fact I'm not a fan of the green bezel.

    Difficult as you have classic, modern ceramic and the new SD.

    Probably the one to go from those three would be the Hulk. It's a favourite of mine, but probably easiest replaced.

    The Sea-dweller is a keeper, imho the Hulk and the GMT are not particularly attractive.

    Get shot of that green thing, green has no place on a watch.

    Yup, it would be the green sub for me too.

    Another one for losing the Hulk. I quite like the 50th anniversary Sub with green bezel and black dial but the all green is too much for me.

    In my opinion, the Hulk is the best looking of those three: Hulk > Deepsea > GMT.

    I'm clearly the odd one out on TZ-UK though.

    Purely on aesthetic grounds the Sub would give if I had to chose. I have never particularly liked green watches.

    I'd get rid of the SD, and if I could only keep one, it would be the GMT. It would pain me to part with any however!

    I would loose the Hulk, because the easiest to replace.

    The GMT is definitely a keeper

    Depends on rationale.

    Hulk goes and GMT deffo stays using my brain. GMT has function that I would use.

    However, if it was my choice the SD goes as it is a bit meh looking and the GMT stays as it is a great look.

    So, GMT stays whatever.

    Keep the gmt for sure

    Green one is the first out the door
    Good luck everybody. Have a good one.

    I don't like the small crown on the older GMT's, so I won't buy another when I can add a Sub/SD for less - they look nice enough though.

    I'd keep the SD, but then I have also had a soft spot for the Sea-Dweller line
    It's just a matter of time...

    Wouldn't be happy letting any of them go. If pushed it would be the Hulk...

    I'd get rid of the Hulk. I've never been a fan of the green hue they used personally.

    From those for me it would be a fairly simple choice the Hulk would be out.

    In my opinion GMT is the keeper. I'd get rid of the SD as it's likely that you'll be able to replace and it's the worst looking for me.

    For me it's bye bye hulk. Green just doesn't do it for me. Shallow reason but thats it.

    The bezel is misaligned.

    Whatever you do, don't lose the 16710.

    Keeper = GMT
    Lose the Hulk
    Either there's an echo in here or we have a consensus.

    Which is quite remarkable given the nature (and history) of "which one should I buy" and "which one should I sell" threads.

    Never seen a good looking green watch, so it's an easy decision.

    Sell the SD, which in time to come will be easy to replace.

    The green citizen mearsalike isn't too bad

    Also I think Seiko landmaster did a green one in the range

    Seiko alpinist is not bad
    Good luck everybody. Have a good one.

    For me the GMT is the most attractive, due to the old-style slim lugs, and you can always play with the bezel for a different look. Then again we probably have different taste, or you wouldn't have two of the new style ones.

    Bye Bye Hulk for me as well, but for different reasons as I quite like the looks. It's the most redundant, the GMT has the GMT complication obviously and the SD fills the same niche as the hulk but is a more 'exclusive' piece. Purely logic based. If however the hulk has sentimental attachments then all bets are off.

    It would be the hulk for me as well. I've never quite been able to put my finger on it given that in general I always like green on watches, but that one has never done it for me

    It seems that Hulk is the one that majority would let go... but I have to say that I don't know what to do... it's a top watch and I like it! But one has to go... I cannot keep with all...

    Tritium + drilled lugs = Keeper.

    For me, anyway.

    Yeah I'm not a fan of green on watches either but just a personal preference!! The other two watches are just brilliant!!

    SD43 to go. Just doesn't look as good as the other two.

    So have you decided to let the GMT go?

    I would have sold the Hulk; but there again I doubt I would have bought it in the first place, so my starting position isn't the same as yours.

    What swayed the decision ultimately?

    I'm probably alone on this entire forum for not being a big fan of Rolex style (though my beater is a 17000),

    but,

    I'd certainly keep the GMT

    For me it would be the SD to go. It just doesn't strike me as special. Always had a soft spot for the Hulk and the GMT is on another level.
