After I bought my Hulk, I sold all my other watches. That was in 2011. Haven't seen a Rolex I'd rather wear than my hulk.

Yup, my 116610LV chased my 116520 away a few years ago.

I think the black is more inconspicuous and pairs better with more things. I feel like the green stands out too much for my liking.

I prefer more traditional looks.

Quite the opposite. Damn glad I didn't to for the LN which was the original choice. Still in honeymoon believe it or not. Now that summer is here let that dial burst!

I had the Kermit before and flipped it for the Hulk and never looked back. It's been almost 2 years and i still love it, for me not a very versatile watch due to it's color sometimes it's very hard to blend on some outfit. Regardless the watch is something else it's just great and special.

The Hulk is an amazing watch...I find it to be every bit as special as my Smurf because of that amazing green dial that dances in the light:)

I have a major regret when it comes to the LV. I regret I didn't succumb to the green sooner.

How could anyone regret the hulk? I consider it the best weekend Rolex, along with the Exp II Polar

When I first bought the Hulk, I thought it was too green. I decided to sell it, after just a few months of ownership (where it spent most of the time in a drawer). Anyway, I wore it several times before I sold it, and a few days after it was gone, I had HUGE regrets! To give some context, I also had the regular SubC (which I also later got rid of - but no regrets there).

Fast forward 1 year later, and I repurchased the Hulk for my birthday this year. I made a little bit of money selling it the first time around, and ended up paying even more the second time. But now I can safely say I would never ever consider getting rid of it.

I owned and wore the Hulk regularly for about two years. The whole time I considered flipping for the Smurf. I then added the BLNR and found I MUCH preferred that watch, so I flipped the Hulk for a ceramic Sea-Dweller 'cause I was getting a little over the green. Cool watch, but a bit thick for my liking.

Ultimately, I traded them all the WG Sub and I have 0 regrets. It's all about the journey!

I know the feeling.

LVc is a really superb watch. I find myself drifting away from cyclops equipped rolex (which scares me). I'll be back

5 years and no regrets. It's a watch that stays fresh.

I bought the LVc straight up, choosing it ahead of the black and I have no regrets whatsoever. I think it's a great watch. I would however like to add a 114060 some day if I can but I have others I would prefer to add first.

The LN is my grail but I bought the LV and it gets the most wrist time. Stunning reference

I tried the hulk recently when I was buying the BLNR. I could not bond with the green, however, I can see the appeal. Also, was watching the new topgear and it looked like Matt LeBlanc was wearing a hulk?
