I like it too. I hope that’s not a basil from an actual hulk, That would be a huge shame for a hulk to be sitting there bezel less. Anyways, I think these forms need more people modeling their watches. Somebody made a beautiful mind of a submariner and posted it the other day.

Can’t let the hulk runaround with no bezel on!

I wouldnt do it but all that matters is that youre happy with it :)

[eonflux]

I really don't like the carpet to not match the drapes, and similarly, don't like bezel and dial mismatches

Much prefer Hulk to Starbucks

Looks great in the sun too!!

where did you get the hulk bezel and how did you get it changed?

[SS Oyster]

Eric (@WatchEric) did this exact mod.

The hulk bezel is periodically offered for sale here, and on other forums.

I swapped the bezel myself. The bezel pops off and on with minimal effort. There are youtube videos showing how.

NOTE: I bought the bezel and insert as one unit. I don't recommend nor do I think you can swap just the green insert; you would need to get the insert and bezel as one piece for this to work.

I would just buy a kermit

That's a really good question.

Similarly, would a bezel from a 116610 fit on a 126610? They look exactly the same size . . .

Last week I bought a kermit insert and put on my 16800, that has new dial. Looking very good. I have a NOS kermit ,just try to baby it :)

Except the "Hulk" bezel does not match the dial, both in color and finish ie. matte vs sunburst. In fact, many people don't seem to like the "Hulk" because the mismatch is so jarring and pronounced.

Yep…that’s why I never liked it.

EXACTLY!!! I would love to see a hulk dial with a black bezel.

[dommasters]

Love this!

Yes. Such a jarring mismatch!!

[Milehighmiracle]

Looks as good as a Starbucks to me. This is a mod that wouldn’t bother me at all.

[sski]

theoretical question- looking at this mod, would a GMT bezel be swappable? (BLNR to BLRO and vice versa?)

i'd imagine it would be, but would be tough getting the bezel in the gray mkt?

I know, it's really unfortunate that they mismatch so much. If you like it, that's all that matters.

That's where you and I differ, I prefer no carpet...

A skin tone that struggles with green isn’t helping either. This picture is a much kinder match, unlike the first series.

[Boaters]

Why all the B.S. Here it is the true 116610LV Or Hulk as some call it only the best
