Do it ! Hulk is a favorite of mine as well. So much play in the dial, which I had not experienced with rolex until recently. I imagine the bluesy is fantastic as well.

100 hundred over five years isn't even a 1/2 post per week pace; c'mon, push yourself a bit.

Congratulations on the new watch!!!

Actually, yes. If I could only keep one, it would definitely be the 116610LV. I find the dial of the Hulk to be more interesting in various lighting conditions because it is a Sunburst dial.

In addition, I love having the WG Sub as part of my collection, but if we are talking about which material is better suited to the purpose of a divers watch, it is 904L steel. It is more scratch resistant, more corrosion resistant and much lighter.

Owning sport models in precious metal (especially divers watches) is a bit of a novelty; it is a guilty pleasure that I certainly enjoy. But I think that SS is a more pure expression of what a divers watch is all about:)

x 500!

As for whether to go for the LVc, yes! Your first Submariner and a really special one at that. I've enjoyed it for a couple of years now, and I love it like the first day I got it. All the goodness of the Sub with a twist.

I love my Hulk! Tried on the SD4000 thinking I would like it but was underwhelmed. The Hulk is amazing in natural light :)

Icon7 Thank you but still need your help....

Thanks guys for the supports & wonderful pictures of the LVc aka The HULK....

I know, I have a lot of catching up to do.....lol.....

I'm still debating on the Hulk or Sea Dweller 11660 which I called it the "Tank"



courtesy photo by Beau Wilson....^^^.....

A little about myself I'm always a Daytona guy.... I was never into the Submariner because I don't swim, dive, & etc but until 2009 when the Sea Dweller came out I always want one because it look like a tank of all Rolex watches....

And now Rolex came out with the Hulk which I always love the color & it my birth color too....

As a big fan of Rolex I knew I would have to have a Submariner in my collection some day.... Most likely my decision is leaning toward the Hulk....

So,

I have some questions for you guys, if you guys kindly would help me out before I pull the trigger....

1. How much heavier is the Hulk compare to the Daytona & how much heavier it's compare to the Hulk & SSSD....??

2. How much thicker is the Hulk compare to the Daytona.....??

Thank you guys for taking the time to answers this questions.....

Best Regards,
Tony
