The hulk is a beautiful watch with an exceptional dial and contrary to belief can be worn with any colour attire.A distinctive colour watch for a change as opposed to black,black and not forgetting um.....black,how boring.

I have one, but very rarely wear it. Maybe it will get back into rotation at some point.

I have one, and it's the one I wear the most. I can't live without it. Besides the qualities of the Sub 6 digit, it has a real personality, the dial is incredible.
I find the blacks bland now...

Before I physically handled one I was never interested. However, when I did I knew I had to have one. I luckily got one in November last year. Stunning.

Probably the last Rolex in the line-up I would consider owning, even if gifted.

I wonder how it suddenly became so popular. I remember seeing these pretty often and I would ask my SA how popular it was and he would just sort of chuckle.

Now it has this crazy premium.

Only every had the chance to handle one once. As I was already expecting, it is not one I would want to own. In my opinion, the way Rolex does Ceramic, it only looks good in Black. The Pepsi is another one that looks dreadful but is somehow popular through historic association and hype.

It’s a great watch. In a sea of conservative colours and designs it is a great choice. I wish I had one but missed the boat!

I am on the list for the 116610LV since 2018. Expect one incoming this year. It is a very nice watch on a sunny day.

Hulk is the best, it says a lot about the owner, the owner more than likely has more than one Rolex and doesn't care what others might think. If you worried about who likes it then it's not a watch for you.

Own mine for about 60 days, hasn't been off my wrist in last 30.
It goes with a lot more than you think cause of the dial looking black most of the time. I've had no fashion issues.

I would have liked the lume to glow green instead of blue but still love my Hulk.

Nice set up, may just get that for myself as a NY's treat. My Xmas gifts were OK, got some nice chocolates, soaps and a nice Givenchy cap, so there is some room for belated ones.

Nice looking, but not for me. Non-proportional case, clashes with most everything worn.

I think that the Hulk is a great looking watch and I have just bought one back after flipping out several times.

Thanks. It’s a RubberB. As others have complained about the “maxi” case I would add that I am not a fan also.
However, worn on a RubberB strap , the watch becomes very comfortable even for smaller wrists like mine (6.75in).

Not something I would care to own, if I were into green I’d go for a Kermit personally. A lot of people really love them though, and tastes change. Maybe if I saw one in person I’d change my mind?

it boils down to being a green sub for me, also not a fan of maxi case/maxi dial. so not for me.

I had a 5 digit LV and never wore it. It’s just green, odd color on a watch.

I owned one and this is probably the only issue I found with my LVC. The ceramic green bezel is more muted and doesn’t “pop” like the dial or other ceramic bezel colors. It has a milky green glass look to it. In certain lights, the bezel looks very washed out. It’s like there is too much white mixed in the green ceramic when it is made. The green ceramic bezel hue needs to be a touch darker IMO.
Other than that, the watch is incredible and a stand out in a sea of black dive watches. I sold mine because the green got a bit too much and I wasn’t wearing it as much.
