I like the this new ceramic kermit. I found the hulk too much green so the new kermit is much more subtle for me. And the fixing of the lugs is a big thing for me.
Hard to say. Just a feeling, I suppose.

The original Kermit seemed....well original. This just feels the next rendition of Spider-Man. Cashing in on a little change of the same.

Don’t think the others are gimmicky. Don’t get me started on the Daytona. But the rootbear and the Pepsi don’t come off the same way.

Just my opinion. I think the blue bezel will likely feel the same...to me. The date and no date, I think appear more classic.

Maybe I’ll feel differently in the steel. So far, meh. At best. The black and green contrast is just too bright maybe.

Congratulations! Beautiful watch.
Agree that green/black contrast looks much better than hulk

the first Kermit in Spain, at home
Congrats and wear it in Good health... I own the Hulk and think both are sensation watches. Both gorgeous in their own right.... Black face is more elegant looking. Green dial sporty....

Back in 2009 I had an opportunity to purchase a Kermit at an AD and I passed. I didn’t want to pay the $1,000 up charge. I got a M serial Sub instead.

I’ve never forgiven myself for that tragic mistake. I like this new rendering. I just hope and pray that my wrist can handle a 41mm on this piece.

Contrast this to my AD who indicated they have received none of the new watches when all I asked for was an OP 36. I may need a new AD.
