Great Collection was wondering if I should replace the hulk with the new LV

Incoming and a complete "SS trifecta"

Beautiful set of course and stunning pictures, thank you for sharing!!

The order for me would be ...

1st - 116500 C white (totally my favourite watch of all)
2nd - 116610LV - oh my goodness, what a watch...
3rd - 126710 BLNR (still can’t enjoy the Pepsi as much as others here do, I know, heresy, so my third favourite piece....)

Which is my own set plus my beater 116610LN...

Interesting to see how I’ll feel when I receive my 116519....

Not sure if there is a best practice for measuring wrist size. I'm somewhere between 6.75 and 7.00 in. and closer to the former.

I understand this is all subjective, but as you are an actual owner of the new 126610LV with some time on the wrist - do you still prefer the new Kermit over the Hulk (as stated in your OP)?

I know there is plenty of discussion over the model relative to its predecessor, but this one personally checks all the boxes for me. Once the 2020 release rumors were in full swing (especially the possibility of a blue sub in SS), I actually told my sales guy "no interest in a blue sub in steel. If we get a new green model with a black dial and slimmer lugs, I'll be waiting at your front door with cash in hand." I personally prefer the black dial as it tones down the watch and gives the green bezel a bit more pop. I have the utmost respect for passionate "Hulk" fans and commend their enthusiasm, but this one simply sings to me more. I don't mind the wider bracelet with less tapering and wider clasp. Given the brushed "ruggedness" of the Sub, I actually welcome the variety the new bracelet brings to my SS professional collection (in comparison to the jubilee on the BLRO and PCL oyster on the Daytona).

Pics below. I am very content with my land, sea and air "SS trifecta". Each of these get lots of love and regular wear (well, the LV will get lots of wear). I have a few other pieces in my collection, and have reached the point where I've sufficiently scratched the Rolex SS itch. Looking to add some colored gold next year, and open to suggestions. The DD40 in RG with Olive dial is on my shortlist but happy to hear others!







P.S. if you're ever in NYC, make a point to stop by both the Wempe store and their Rolex-boutique across the street. Over the past few years, the customer service I've received from my sales guy (who has become a dear friend of mine) as well as the rest of the staff is truly incomparable.
If I had to reduce my Rolex collection to three, your collection would be it...nice job. Enjoy.

I absolutely love the way you write, the display of humility and the wonderful gratitude that you show. You clearly are a very well rounded man, and that’s a pleasure to participate in your happiness, my friend. I hope you live a happy long wonderful life and enjoy your beautiful collection in the “bestest” of health!
