Hello Kermit
Long story short about 1.5yrs ago I was offered either the hulk or Pepsi from my ad and passed on them . I pretty much instantly felt regret especially every time checked and saw prices jumping up. Fast forward to last week, I caked my ad asking if it would be possible to get me a nos hulk and the answer was no . They did ask me if I liked the new kermit to which I said " eh, haven't really put thought into it" but in any case I was told they would let me knownof one comes in. . Over the next few days I started researching, warming up to it, and actually possibly liking it over the hulk. Then I got the call yesterday and the rest is history as they say . . Totally unexpected but didn't want to pass this up and possibly regret it again

I have both and love both for different reasons ... you’ll be surprised as to how different it is to the hulk.. in a good way though, very cool watch .. and the new 12 series subs is absolutely an improvement so you’ll love that too - sorry to hear you passed up those other beauties however you can still get the Pepsi someday, and you’re doing quite wonderfully with acquiring the current green sub in the meantime .. enjoy !!

Hopefully you actually liked the watch and that’s why you bought it. I tried it and passed due to the very large clasp. Ymmv. Enjoy!

Thanks guys, the more it's on my wrist the more I'm warming up to it and starting to really like it .... I think the hulk will always be my hero though . . Maybe because its kind of unattainable for me at the moment.

Your bezel looks matte in this photo and then the next photo someone posted looks glossy. How would you describe it? Have you compared it to the outgoing hulk bezel?

Congrats! I too passed on the Hulk when offered to me. I don’t really regret it as I just didn’t care for the watch and don’t sell my pieces. Buy what you like and ignore the secondary market.
