Get the Bluesy. I did the same thing bought a Batman and a Hulk gen. Flipped them both and bought myself a TT Bluesy and used the rest of the money as part payment for my DD40.

The Batman and Hulk even though they are nice precious metals add something special especially for Rolex. Of course the stunning blue dial. That is the NICEST dial Rolex makes IMHO out of all their watches.

Now I'm thinking of flipping the TT Bluesy for the full gold version. That is the next natural step up. Same dial though - I wont ever rid of a gen Rolex with this dial. Its stunning in person

I did the exact same thing:

Got the blnr and then the hulk. The blnr is a nice watch but after a week it felt no different than a black Sub 116610. The Hulk was fantastic, absolutely loved it. Only reason I sold it was the go to a 16710 which I really like as it's disruptive and adds a 5 digit to my collection.

The 116613 is my favourite as well. I was looking to go full gold 116618 or 116718 but lately I've been thinking twice. Part of me feels it's not worth liquidating 4 watches for the one and down the road if I go to sell it it's going to be a pain in the %$@& and a potential loss.

It is indeed maybe the best looking one, I agree! My only hesitation is that I don't wear gold that much so I will keep for special occasion only and such that might not be so bad at the end since I am having so many reps to wear and my gen Omega... I have two daughters so I have purchased a nice DJ 36mm with the pink/salmon dip to be passed on later.. no plan for a son or a third daughter down the road [emoji12][emoji12]

I wasn't a gold person at all man. A few buddies of mine went and bought gen 116613's one day and so I figured I would freak them out and do the same. I did, wore it for 2 days and fell absolutely in love with it. Now I'll wear it anywhere with anything. It's my absolutely favourite watch and a few years ago I was that guy that thought it was an "older guy" watch.

Doesn't matter where you wear it, it looks amazing...
Indeed this is an amazing piece of art jewelry/watch making... I wish my finance allow me to pull the trigger there or go GMT and aim this as my second gen Rolex after maybe a couple of years or so

Damn @Om3ga_guy that is amazing! Love the Hulk and Batman but that 116613 is simply stunning and that is coming from a guy who hate gold and tt watches.

If they ever make it right, this will be my first tt watch.

Gen Longines for me today. Not that stunning but I still love it and really enjoy wearing it.
