Lesson: I can't judge a watch by it's digital cover!

Very true, I was one of the first members here on TRF with a ceramic green sub, hence me starting this thread. I did not really see much photographic material of the watch online so I headed to the AD, fell in love and bought it. After seeing many thousands of images online and on this thread, I have come to see just how different it looks for real, and in different lighting conditions.

Is this color combo available in the ceramic version?? Just curious, a brief history would be awesome.

The original 50th Anniversary green sub, sometimes referred to as "Kermit", is basically a 16610 sub with two differences. The green bezel insert, and the maxi dial. It only came in the green bezel/black dial combo


In ceramic, the 116610LV (Hulk) green ceramic bezel/green dial.


I hope this helps

Now you see green...


Now you see black...


I've just purchased this brand new last week! Now I'm a proud owner of the Hulk that looks stunning in both pictures and in the flesh. I'm glad I can join the Hulk club like everyone else here on this thread.

To make myself look at my watch more often, I've deliberately turned off date and time on my MacBook Air and will enjoy looking at the time on my watch instead :D

For those concerned about green not being suitable for every attire, you have nothing to worry about. The green WILL go well with every attire and you will stand out from the rest of the crowd who owns a black sub.

Here's a video of me unboxing

Huge congrats and welcome! Looks great on you and I completely agree on the attire part

Think it's going to be very easy to be green

Here are some pics of my LVC on a bunch of Natos that I purchased from cheapestnatostraps.com

I had the stainless steel strap on it for about a month and a half before I removed it. I am a part time artist and love the color the natos add to my watch. Not for everyone but I enjoy switching them out on a daily basis.

Enjoy

love this watch, the dial looks like a big emerald when the light hits it.

Ugh! I can't take it anymore looking at all these pics! I want to get my Hulk now, I can't wait!!!

[gocsan]

Even though I have the Hulk already, it's always great looking at pictures from others.

Where did you get yours from bud? I heard from one AD there is currently a waiting list of 2 months...? Any truth to this..?

That's what mine is telling me! I saw one earlier this summer at my AD but was gone probably the same day...

I got mine from Rolex boutique at Harrods last month. When I first enquired about it, which was 2 months ago, they said the last one was sold 2 months ago. The sales woman gave me an estimate that they should stock another one in a months time. So I just kept ringing them up everyday nearer the time. I could have bought one from watches of Switzerland at Knightsbridge as they had one in stock, but wife insisted that i should wait for the one in Harrods to be available in order to maintain her Harrods Black tier membership. I was told that normally once an AD sells one, they normally stock one 3 months later.

You might want to call around more places or check out watches of Switzerland at Knightsbridge if that's still available.

Hahaha...
I know that feeling.
I had 2,5 months waitingtime before I got a phonecall that mine arrived at the AD.

Wow nice pic buddy, love the way the green shows in your pic.

Better get the ball rolling then, will need to make some calls and get my name on the list if I need to!

Yes the colourchanging is the best part of it. I can never tell if it is light/dark green. It really depends on the lightning and if you are inside or outside the hous.

Hi, I had the chance to try it last week at a french GTG and as many said before, you have to see it IRL to really appreciate it!

Now I want one, and I can't wait to see how it will look on a brown leather nato

I'm glad you appreciate this beautiful watch. When I was deciding which watch to buy, my wife said to me the green sub looks nice and said the colour goes with the iconic Rolex colour. My response to her was "what!?" as I didn't like the idea of a green watch. Then the more I looked at it, the different shades of green on the dial just hypnotised me. I wonder if Rolex had secretly hired Paul McKenna to instil his hypnotic powers into the green dial.

Again, what an absolutely beautiful stunning watch.
