Incoming - 116610LV - AKA 'HULK'

Been dreaming of getting a Rolex for quite some time now. After months dilemmas I finally made my mind up, I wanted a Hulk. After a weeks of searching I got my hands on a brand new, never worn example with all stickers in place.

Just wanted to say a big thanks to everyone on this community that helped me on my journey towards my first Rolex!

Every AD I called and visited wouldn't even put me on a list. So I went grey and couldn't be happier.

Thanks! This is a keeper, I'm not looking to flip this for a few bucks. So I had no problem spending extra an a reputable gray dealer in order to avoid AD BS.

Congrats. It’s amazing how at some angles (in photos at least) the dial looks pure black

The color of the dial changes a lot depending on the light.
