I think we need more information about what else you have or what you plan to wear the watch with. Neither of these watches looks to me particularly like it would pair all that well with with VCA.
If the watch was for myself, I'd choose the Pepsi because it has a Jubilee bracelet which I find more comfortable and I would get more wear out of those colors than the green of the Hulk.

Green 100%!
@eternallove4bag has at least one green Rolex that she styles with VCA wonderfully if you would like to look for inspiration photos.

Thanks @nicole0612 for tagging me
@TT6SPD Green gets my vote 100%. I am a green lover and my green OP goes with everything! I always view green as a neutral. Think nature and how everything pops against the green leaves!

Thank you everone for the insight🙏 I am just wondering what ladies and gents of this forum think of either watch based on their general appearance. I am surprised to see most like the green hulk.
As far as collection, I have been lucky with my Rolex AD allocating me many watches, even though I'm a new customer compared to their usual clients. I have purchased the New Stainless Steel Pepsi on Jubilee(pictured), Stainless Steel Daytona Panda, Tiffany OP41mm and Tiffany OP36mm, and many more hard to get Rolexes.
Here is pics in Japan as the Sakura come into full bloom🌸🤙🏻

Green is a classic Rolex colour like the branding, but the red/blue is the absolute classic for the model.
I seem to be in the minority - and weirdly, because I love green, but I much prefer this model in blue/red. It will go with more, and it's more sophisticated for a Sub.

I prefer the coke model (black and red) to Pepsi. I bought the coke for DH decades ago. I am also generally not a fan of the jubilee band, but the Pepsi looks nice. But, agree that the green might be nicer with VCA. I generally do not wear watches in the same wrist as bracelets.
Wow your AD really likes you! You have a great collection. I prefer the Pepsi. The green dial + bezel is too much green for me
Neither is my taste. Both look very masculine. OK if you are going scuba diving or fishing, but not a good pairing with a feminine looking bracelet IMO. That said, I prefer the Pepsi version. Nicer band and green is tough to pull off.
Oh, I love love LOVE to see more women in men’s sports watches!!!!
My daily watch is a Submariner. So I love that style. I absolutely vote for the Hulk here, because that green is seriously delicious in person. It changes in various lights from a vivid green to so dark it is nearly black.
That said, the Pepsi is also divine. You cannot go wrong. I’ve tried that one as well but cannot find photos. One thing you want to consider is the different bracelets. Jubilee and Oyster bracelets wear a bit differently. Jubilee is super comfy because the smaller links conform to your wrist. I also like oyster but it doesn’t have the same degree of flexibility. You also want to consider the extension system. The Hulk will have GlideLock. Super easy to use and gives you micro adjustments (I love this because I swell like crazy). I *think* that the Pepsi comes with easy link, which is designed to flip to a certain length to give you extension over a wet suit. Still great if you swell, but does not give you microadjustments. It’s just a set length.
One more thing: the utility of the bezels is different. I use my timing bezel on my Sub all the time. The Pepsi is a GMT bezel so great if you travel a lot but not super useful otherwise.
For those who have said it doesn’t work with VCA, I disagree. VCA is fairly feminine on the whole, and Rolex sports watches provide a fabulous juxtaposition. Sure, it’s not for everyone, but what fun would it be if we all had the same pieces?
Daily combo:
Got to try a Hulk but I have not been lucky enough to be offered one to buy. If I were offered, I would absolutely in a heartbeat buy one.
Notice that from a distance the green is far more subtle. Nearly black.
Submariner and VCA:
My other favorite daily watch, Grand Seiko cherry blossom! Love your pink dial with the blossoms!

I passed on a two tone Daytona years ago and still regret it.
