Hulk is Ugly . . .
All the recent love for the Hulk made me recall an AD encounter at a Las Vegas store when the watch first came out. The salesmen were rolling their eyes and actually laughing at the watch, lamenting that no one in their right mind would buy such a thing. The manager of the store whispered to me that it was just "ugly."
Well, I guess they were wrong:) |

people don't usually like 'drastic' changes to something so iconic -- it takes a tad bit of time before it get appreciated... well that didn't happen for the new coke though....
personally i like the black bezel over the green. |

Yeah, and some people thought that the iPad is a stupid idea and laughed at that when Jobs announced that...

markets/wants/needs are usually created... people usually don't know what they need/want until something is invented.
i'm pretty sure when the 'wheel' was invented the cave people scoffed at the idea... |

I think the hulk is pretty polarizing.

The Hulk is one of the most gorgeous Rolex watches in my opinion.. Recently bought the GMT II TTc and the Hulk is definitely next.. :-)

Well in the beginning, I did not like it. Now I have one sitting on my wrist. It takes time to fall in love!

I find the color green a unusual color for a divers watch???? it would fit better on a land watch like the GMT. Blue, black, Orange, yellow, etc are all dive colors.

Its an acquired taste. I think it looks really different and looks better when worn.

Strange... the only really obvious difference over the previous version is that the dial is green

Yeh the green threw me off to begone with, but when you see that dial in the flesh it's just awesome, would love one

Have you seen one in person? The dial just sucks you in! It's nothing like any other dial I've seen.

I have to admit the appeal of the green was an acquired one for me.
When my wife first saw an LV, she even said "It's green?! Who would wear a green Rolex??!!" |

I like the Green Sub. It's very distinctive and eye-catching.
