Told my AD I had no interest in a Hulk...

[Tom5518]

I was trying on the Seiko SPB153(green Willard) at my AD and he asked me if I had much in the way of green watches. I mentioned that I had a Hamilton green dial sports on a green NATO but that was it. I then casually mentioned that while the Hulk is stunning, I really didn't like it that much. I told him I didn't see the big deal in it.

I did buy that Seiko.....

[jimcarver]

Err, was he offering you one?
If not I guess he probably wasn't that shocked, loads of people don't like it and the vast majority of people that walk into a Rolex dealer don't want one to own. The key is more people do want one than there are available.

Loved the Willard. I turned down a hulk years ago also.

[Yzord]

Wrong sub-forum

[Tom5518]

Yes, he was offering, I just didn't know it yet. Fortunately he didn't listen to me. After I said I'll take the Willard he brought the Hulk out and once I saw it, I just couldn't say no. There really is something special about it.

Green is my favorite color. I have tried green shades of just about anything but it all usually looks terrible on my (shirts, watches, etc). My wife also always tells me every time I try anything green on, she just gives me the “that looks disgusting” look lol. I got to try one on once (belonged to someone else, wasn’t for sale) and she fell in love with it too. That green is absolutely stunning and I can’t wait to eventually get one (I’ll go gray if I have to, but I really do love that more than any of the others available).

In low light, i think it’s one of the best Rolex makes. When the light hits it, it’s a bit cartoonish. It reflects a lot of light and it’s very bright.

Your watch’s look so tight on your wrist and Despite my watch fitting just a tad bit on the loose side,you made mine feel uncomfortable and I had to take it off. Nice watches though

Thank you. Watch actually is comfortable to me, I can't stand it when they are too tight. I have a couple that I need to have the AD add a link because of a little COVID era weight gain.

Congratulations on both great watches!

[Heartlandblaster]

Those are a couple of fine looking timepieces. I don't own a green dial but would consider it. I'd love to see one in the flesh but most who love it say it's stunning!

Wear em in great health!

[Time2Travel]

Congratulations! The Hulk is an awesome watch I love the way the dial changes color in different light conditions.

Congratulations Tom. Beauty

Congrats.

Hulk the best.

[nightmyth]

Time to tell my AD I have no interest in a 116500LN

[Robocop305]

Stunning, definitely my favorite watch.

[grimps]

Don't worry too much about the green , in most natural light it looks a lot darker anyway.
It really comes to life on a summers day

[GradyPhilpott]

I would never buy the Hulk, mainly because I don't care for the green bezel.

However, that dial is a stunner and taken together the green bezel and dial work well.

It's just not my style.

As Subs go, I think that the 14060M is the zenith of Submariner style.

[Rollieo]

Haha if you love green, you gotta pick up the GS SBGE257. Just got it today!

I'm actually the opposite. I find the sunburst dial to be too "fancy" for a Sub. Would totally go for a lacquer green dial in the same vein as the Smurf!

Thank you. I don't think I had a green dial until my Hamilton dealer got a green Khaki on NATO in a few months ago and I had to have it. Now it seems like the green is finding me.

Thank you and I have learned that about the Hulk and even the green Seiko. I had to play with the lighting outdoors to get the green to pop. It's probably the most fun I've had photographing a watch.
