The green ceramic bezel hue needs to be a touch darker IMO.
Other than that, the watch is incredible and a stand out in a sea of black dive watches. I sold mine because the green got a bit too much and I wasn’t wearing it as much.

Exactly my thoughts and perfectly captured in this photo

It does look like a circle of clay in some pics.

I think that the Hulk is a great looking watch and I have just bought one back after flipping out several times.

Not something I would care to own, if I were into green I’d go for a Kermit personally. A lot of people really love them though, and tastes change. Maybe if I saw one in person I’d change my mind?

it boils down to being a green sub for me, also not a fan of maxi case/maxi dial. so not for me.

I had a 5 digit LV and never wore it. It’s just green, odd color on a watch.

I really like it, but not enough to pay a premium.

I’m on a list for one, but....I probably won’t get the call. I’m thinking I will have another shot when Rolex upgrades the movement.

Hate it. Rubbish watch. Hope it’s discontinued soon.

I like it but my 69 Camaro is green (which I have owned for over 20yrs) so I have had enough of that color :) Still prefer the timeless black dial

Only saw one for real for the first time last week in a local ADs. The green is certainly loud and a bit too much so for me personally.

I used to really dislike the Hulk but after recently seeing one in person, I think it has grown on me a bit. I could actually see myself owning one someday.

I like it, I just don't like enough to spend $9,350 on a green watch. I kind of do dig green watches though. The new Seiko Sumo green or the Oris Aquis green would be fine to scratch that itch for me.

IMHO needs to be closer to a British Racing green.

I love it. Green is my favorite color and just like it’s a different color in a classic watch.

Definitely not for me. Green, green, green for Saint Patrick’s day, OK, but not other days.
