Very nice. If I could only own one ceramic submariner it would be the hulk.

Thank you.

I actually surprised myself – having just bought it and sat at my desk I photographed the watch using my i-phone 6.

I have often wondered how people get such fantastic shots of their watches as I have never been able to do.

I can assure you it was pure fluke!!!

The bezel really is amazing - from grey to green to almost black. I couldn't decide if I wanted this model, or the black and love them both but this really has a novelty factor!

Congrats on a beautiful piece.Ive bought and sold 4 rolexes in the last 6 weeks and I have forgot about this one which I've had 3 times before but starting to think I need this one back.The green is just brilliant in different lights and it is not seen often in the wild.
