Who else thinks that Hulk looks a little cheap?

Some say the dial is gorgeous. It changes drastically from black to bright green when the light hits it at a certain angle.

I like it in a light where the dial is almost completely black with just a hint of green. But at direct sunlight it just doesn't work for me. It reminds me of those $5 plastic watches sold at gas stations.



What do you think?

I love mine. Just sometimes wish the bezel was a bit darker, that's all.

If the look of the black dial tickles your pickle, you should look into the Kermit. I personally love the hulk. Only 3 Rolex models (Sub, solid gold gmt, 36mm DD) offer a green dial where black dials are in almost every model.

It's not my cup of tea, but cheap doesn't come to mind at all.

I wouldn't wear one personally as I'm not keen on the green colour of the bezel. Each to their own. I don't think they look cheap.

I think the green dial was executed better than the green bezel insert. (Rolex is doing amazing colored dials these days.) None of the ceramic bezel inserts look true except the black.

I love the LV dial but a little with you as I feel the insert shouldn't of been such a flat green, it works with the blue but wish the LV insert had more pop to it to go with the dial.

Have contemplated fitting the LV dial to a LN to retail the black bezel!

The Hulk doesn't look cheap but I'm not a fan of it. Shall never think of buying one. If it was given to me for free, I'll sell it right away and buy another Rolex that I like.

I am not a fan of the watch, but it does not appear cheap to me. I do think that I would like it better with a black dial.

I'm not a fan of the colour green when it comes to clothes & accessories and I think that I might own one piece of green clothing, a t-shirt, that I can think of. Do I think the LV Sub looks cheap?....No.

What do you think?
This particular color is not for everybody--the LN dials are more universal in appeal and will remain a timeless classic for such a reason imo

Icon10 Thanks for sharing that educated synopsis.

You know it's fortuitous that you say that! I was just thinking the same thing...

I saw this one here at the gas station and it was a bit more than the $5 but not much more, and I can't help but notice the striking similarities...

I couldn't agree more ...
Șt Patricks Day is right around the corner .
It would be perfect for that ...
Then you could store it in the safe until next
St Patrick's Day ...
