The Hulk strikes again

I've had my hulk for a year now. Just last month I purchased my 4th Rolex, a stainless GMT. As I've learned, and I'm sure this is the case with many of us, I end up giving the new watch almost 100% of my wrist time for awhile.

Well with St. Patty's day tomorrow I felt it was appropriate to bring out my Hulk for this weekend. I find myself staring at it and admiring the many color shifts and changes with various light.

This watch is as amazing 13 months in as it was on day one! And my wife said "GREEN??? You'll be tired of that in 3 months and wanna sell it!" Boy was she wrong!

The color shifting starburst dial is incredible on this one. It truly has to be seen in person as photos do not do it justice. Mine will also be coming out for tomorrow.

It was getting 100% of my wrist time this time last year. Got a lot of compliments at St. Patrick's Day parties parties and such. People notice green at this time of year.

Great pictures - very pursuasive regarding the point of the Hulk not being too green for everyday use. Even though it is a smart one for St Patty's :-)

I know the feeling. I never tire of looking at the hypnotizing dial.

I've only seen a few of them out in the wild and the dial changes are awesome, glad you're enjoying it!

I did the exact same thing. Have been wearing my new 114060 regularly since I bought it about two months ago, but broke out the Hulk just now for St. Patty's day! It's as stunning now as it was the day I bought it two years ago. I've yet to see another in the wild here where I live.

I saw one in the wild on 3/8/13, the gentleman was sitting next to me at a professional prize fight. Even more interesting I recognized him from my boxing gym.

I complimented him on his watch and then he noticed I was wearing the same watch. He was dressed nicely and I was wearing a Fairway Green Adidas track suit with a sideways ball cap, it did match my watch.

Also of interest, yesterday I was at the gym for an open sparring event and there was a gentleman with a DD gold with champagne dial. I complimented him on his watch and he told me his company gave it to him for 10 years of service. My company gave me some pans, I was sad.
