I am extremely fortunate enough to be acquiring my new Kermit through AD in the next 2 months. I have a buddy who has an early 2020Hulk which has not been worn. I've always loved the Hulk and since they are now discontinued I think I like it even more. However, the new ones hold up to 70hrs and are 41mm. Would you guys trade or keep the Kermit? I know they are both beautiful watches and wouldn't sell either once I make up my mind. It would eventually go to my 8yr old son way down the road.

I'd trade for the Hulk as opposed to the Kermit. I don't expect to see a sunburst dial on an all steel watch anytime soon. That green dial in particular seems now to be reserved for gold pieces. Sure, you can get a colored sunburst dial on a Bluesy, but Bluesy dials have been in production since the 80s, so the Hulk dial seems rarer (for now).

Hulk is definitely my preference but both are lovely

Socal81 · 16 October 2020, 06:10 AM

Hulk. No question. Secure your hulk

upsidedownbelt · 16 October 2020, 06:12 AM

Hulk and it’s not even close.

P1nky_Up · 16 October 2020, 06:16 AM

Hulk. You have a decade to source another Kermit.

Another vote for Hulk

Shdrolex · 16 October 2020, 06:57 AM

Without a doubt, get the HULK.

Todd Turbo S · 16 October 2020, 06:58 AM

Not even a close race it’s the Hulk, think about it this way the Kermit will be made for the next 10+ years, they will never make another Hulk!

DoctorA · 16 October 2020, 07:01 AM

Modern Hulk And original Kermit!

Doood · 16 October 2020, 07:14 AM

Wow, I'm kind of surprised not a single vote on the 41mm 70 hr Kermit.

sambb · 16 October 2020, 07:26 AM

2 months? I've heard that one before!

In all seriousness, I hope you get it, and I hope you swap it for the Hulk. So much more interesting IMO.

Sorry, I cannot help, I don't do silly nicknames so I have no idea what you are talking about.

Nkun · 16 October 2020, 07:39 AM

My pick is Hulk

Hulk. I like the case and bracelet size on the new model but it’s the sunburst dial on the Hulk that’s the killer feature. It’s the best bit about the watch and they dropped it for a black dial on the new one - makes no sense whatsoever.

alex.cicollo · 16 October 2020, 07:56 AM

Hulk

Harry-57 · 16 October 2020, 08:02 AM

In my case I would get the Hulk if I could afford it. The 1 series LV and the 12 series LV don't do it for me. The power reserve is meaningless to me. If it's important to you and you don't want a sunburst green dial, your AD will have something for you shortly.

You can't lose. It's just a question of which one you want. I can't tell you which one you want.

1665fan · 16 October 2020, 08:05 AM

Hulk for the win!!!

Ok mr thesharkfactor.

I’d go with the Hulk. The new one is just a black face Sub with a green bezel.

new Kermit case shape better and watch wears better IMO but Hulk more collectable now. I also prefer look of Kermit as more understated. If collecting / investing - Hulk, for everyday wear - Kermit.

Benzsiam · 16 October 2020, 09:53 AM

I am fortunate to get both of them this year. I love both and will keep them forever.

usmc_k9_vet · 16 October 2020, 09:58 AM

I like both of them for different reasons. If I could get a Hulk, I would jump on it. I also wouldn't turn down the new one!

synrrgy · 16 October 2020, 10:05 AM

Grab the Hulk!!
