THE watch has been located...

It's been many months, and I figured it was about time to return to the Rolex family. Picking up this little gem tomorrow. :)

Nice! Buying the Hulk, what's your take on wearing it as an everyday watch?

It would seem to me that the very overt color scheme might restrict its applicability to certain clothing colors and the like. What do you think, or what do others think about this? Thanks, I'm trying to decide between this or the black model.

Eric - not in Dallas but I'm first on the list in Dallas so if they call me I can have them call you if you like.

Chris - to me, the black ceramic just looks to plain. The LV is unique and actually changes almost to black when turned at certain angles. There is a thread on here somewhere that shows this.

I think it depends on how anal you are about color schemes, as well as how many watches you have in the arsenal. Me, I'm wearing something either green or highly complementary to green if I'm sporting that beauty. But I have 9 watches so far.

No Chris, I didn't really need one (I already picked one up in SoCal) but I was just curious how they were being distributed across the country. It's a great piece that you'll really enjoy!

If the green ceramic is like the blue, it will be a deep green that will look awesome!

Nice piece!

And if you are an Irish or Michigan State or NY JET fan, it will look great in the stadium!

I am getting seriously worried. When the new Sub came out i did not give it very good reviews at all. I said things like, it was too green and too blue,well i take it all back. I think the green Sub is actualy very nice, and looks a classy watch.
