Haha nothing like a good zombie thread. Actually I agree with you though. The black dial with green bezel does look pretty slick.

Despite the negative comments I'd bet that if Rolex released them like this from the factory that people would be singing their praises.
Agreed....love both

I'm still trying to decide whether I like the green bezel. Should I expect to see the torches soon?

It`s senseless to argue about colours as its based on individual taste. But for my taste the Hulks bezel is a green with to much white in it - so that looks for me like a pastel green what i personally dont like!

One of the main reasons with watches like the 16610LV that the green insert is now exchange Rolex only and a $300 crazy price.Is down to those who wanted to change from black to green and visa versa.

Any hulk owners want to switch bezels with my SubC LN lol?

Thank you for these photos. I think they both look great. And now that we have the top one legitimised with the 2020 release, don’t you think the bottom one deserves a release? I’m seriously considering it with a no date sub. In fact, I’m twice as excited about both watches as I am in their original format. Is it easy to reverse? And any opinions at all on this would be gratefully received. They might change my mind or make mind up. There’s always something you haven’t considered.

I’ve never loved the Hulk, but the black bezel is truly atrocious on it.

Don’t like the new Cermit in photos. But this is a monstrosity.

Weird how the original Al Kermit works. Just shows the designers get it right more often than we do - like nodding cars. Leave it to the big boys.

Actually most everyone hated the hulk entirely until a few years ago. Once the price went up, suddenly everyone loved it

That would be the perfect "Green Diver" from Rolex. As soon as they come out with it, all the opinions will switch to "gotta have it". The green bezel is simply awful....the dial is simply stunning!!!

People are criticizing the black bezel, green dial combo, but if Rolex produced that, you’d never be able to get one.
