It is an old fashion statement.

“Red AND Green should not be seen unless there is something in between”

It’s not Red OR Green

I know what the correct saying is but for me as far as I'm concerned with watches it's red or green should never be seen but don't let me me stop you enjoying what you like cheers

I believe some people will like it and some people will dislike it.

I liked it on pictures (filtered?), but disliked it in the flesh at the AD a few years back (loud!), hard pass.

I don't dislike it but I have no desire whatsoever to own one. The same is true for most of Rolexes line up at the moment.

The hulk is a beautiful watch with an exceptional dial and contrary to belief can be worn with any colour attire.A distinctive colour watch for a change as opposed to black,black and not forgetting um.....black,how boring.

I have one, but very rarely wear it. Maybe it will get back into rotation at some point.

I have one, and it's the one I wear the most. I can't live without it. Besides the qualities of the Sub 6 digit, it has a real personality, the dial is incredible.
I find the blacks bland now...

Before I physically handled one I was never interested. However, when I did I knew I had to have one. I luckily got one in November last year. Stunning.

Probably the last Rolex in the line-up I would consider owning, even if gifted.

Yes, high level stuff here.

I don't see the point of this thread. There are many watches that I would not consider buying but I am not starting different threads on what I 'don't like/understand/appreciate' it would be an exhibit of bad taste.

I wonder how it suddenly became so popular. I remember seeing these pretty often and I would ask my SA how popular it was and he would just sort of chuckle.

Now it has this crazy premium.

Only every had the chance to handle one once. As I was already expecting, it is not one I would want to own. In my opinion, the way Rolex does Ceramic, it only looks good in Black. The Pepsi is another one that looks dreadful but is somehow popular through historic association and hype.

It’s a great watch. In a sea of conservative colours and designs it is a great choice. I wish I had one but missed the boat!

I am on the list for the 116610LV since 2018. Expect one incoming this year. It is a very nice watch on a sunny day.
