Incoming... My Precious.. The HULK
Hey TRF,
Here is my obligatory post regarding the newest member of my family, the 116610LV, the green machine, the green subC, the Hulk. I traded my 116523 TT Black Daytona to one of TRFs finest, DavidSW, for this bad boy. Long story short, I've wanted one for a long time, in my eyes along with others it's the perfect Rolex. The glide lock clasp is amazing, especially for how hot and humid it gets here in Hawaii, the green ceramic bezel is just tantalizing to look at in the light, the 40mm case is perfectly sized (not too big or too small for me), and a perfect companion to my beloved 16710. I was camping by my front door all Friday long waiting for the Hulk, and when that package came the entire house knew it and it really was Christmas morning to me!! My girlfriend is not so happy now that my eyes aren't solely fixated on her but instead she is having to compete with the Hulk for my attention!! (Just kidding...kind of ;) ) Here are some pics!! |

Awesome watch. It is my daily wearer right now. The fit and feel of this watch is as good as any watch I have ever worn. Great choice. I would have done the same thing. Congrats

Interesting that you traded a 15k watch for a 9k watch. The hulk is very nice though. What did you not like about the Daytona?

Figured someone would ask that, the watch was purchased back in 08 for 14k and now the same watch was valued at 18k if you bought it new at an AD, but the TT especially used don't seem to hold their value as well as the SS models. They depreciate a bit like the WG/RG/YG models from what I've noticed, plus DavidSW gave me some money from his end. So the value for me was ok in terms of what I was trading away to receive. But even with value (and logic perhaps) aside, I really wanted a Hulk. Ever since I first saw it, it was the only watch I would notice in the displays at my local ADs because it was a very desirable watch to me at a (somewhat) reasonable price range. It had features I wish my GMTII had like the bigger maxi case, glidelock clasp, ceramic bezel, etc. Otherwise of course I would be oogling the smurf, or maybe YG GMTIIc, or platinum DDII. The TT Daytona for me was a fantastic watch which I purchased at a good price from my Dad who never wore it, but I prefer the look of SS (silver) to TT, especially without PCLs. I also never used the chronograph function, and didn't like how little nicks and scratches showed much more easily on the gold bezel and center links of the Daytona as compared with my 10 year old SS GMTII. So that was my logic, and most importantly I am very satisfied, content, and HAPPY with the trade!!
