I like it too. I hope that’s not a basil from an actual hulk, That would be a huge shame for a hulk to be sitting there bezel less. Anyways, I think these forms need more people modeling their watches. Somebody made a beautiful mind of a submariner and posted it the other day.

Can’t let the hulk runaround with no bezel on!

I wouldnt do it but all that matters is that youre happy with it :)

I really don't like the carpet to not match the drapes, and similarly, don't like bezel and dial mismatches

Much prefer Hulk to Starbucks

Except the "Hulk" bezel does not match the dial, both in color and finish ie. matte vs sunburst. In fact, many people don't seem to like the "Hulk" because the mismatch is so jarring and pronounced.

Yep…that’s why I never liked it.

EXACTLY!!! I would love to see a hulk dial with a black bezel.

I know, it's really unfortunate that they mismatch so much. If you like it, that's all that matters.

Shocking!

What possessed Rolex to make such a thing?

where did you get the hulk bezel and how did you get it changed?

The hulk bezel is periodically offered for sale here, and on other forums.

I swapped the bezel myself. The bezel pops off and on with minimal effort. There are youtube videos showing how.

NOTE: I bought the bezel and insert as one unit. I don't recommend nor do I think you can swap just the green insert; you would need to get the insert and bezel as one piece for this to work.

wonder if i can swap my 124060 bezel for a starbucks bezel... i have nothing against modding your own Rolex watches.

That's a really good question.

Similarly, would a bezel from a 116610 fit on a 126610? They look exactly the same size . . .

SS Oyster · 14 May 2022, 04:30 AM

Eric (@WatchEric) did this exact mod.

My thought as well..

walkman2727 · 14 May 2022, 06:13 AM

Last week I bought a kermit insert and put on my 16800, that has new dial. Looking very good. I have a NOS kermit ,just try to baby it :)

dommasters · 14 May 2022, 08:06 AM

Love this!

Milehighmiracle · 14 May 2022, 08:12 AM

Looks as good as a Starbucks to me. This is a mod that wouldn’t bother me at all.

sski · 14 May 2022, 08:16 AM

theoretical question- looking at this mod, would a GMT bezel be swappable? (BLNR to BLRO and vice versa?)

i'd imagine it would be, but would be tough getting the bezel in the gray mkt?

Shaitan · 14 May 2022, 08:53 AM

Yea that Color mismatch hurts my eyes
