Agree. I much prefer the black dial green bezel to the hulk. Never cared for the green dial.

Beautiful watch! thank you for posting. I hope my AD can get me one in the coming months/years? Dare I say some Hulk owners are going through some cognitive dissonance in denying this is a great looking timepiece? Also, I'm a believer that either way...Rolex will run the new Kermit for a few years, then we'll get the new Hulk.

OP: thanks for posting the pics, congrats!

Is it just me or do the markers have a tint to them? I saw some pics on IG earlier and thought the hour markers were off-white or had that subdued hue... when I saw the pics here it seems the same. Maybe it’s the green bezel playing tricks on the camera or contrast, but usually the markers have a bright white pop to them...

Can’t wait for the call, I’ll be adding this reference to my collection.

Looks better than i anticipated. Turns out the light bezel works well with a darker dial.

Congratulations

Seriously - totally agree! I was a bit concerned when I first heard it had an "identical" bezel color to the Hulk's. Now that I am seeing a "real" photo of the watch, I am thinking it actually works well. The black really lets the green pop for some contrast.

What would have been crazy (and potentially more exciting) is if they did a matte black dial instead for this model (like the RG YM on OF).

I don’t own a Sub. But, this one would be the one for me. The thinner lugs make a big difference. OP, congratulations! Thanks for sharing the pics.

That is very nice, thanks for posting and congrats.

Even though I never got the hulk as the list is long, I look forward to it moving to this piece. The black and green is a beautiful combination. It helps very nicely.

Tried Safari, Firefox, iOS vs Android, no dice until I switched to my (US) company VPN. Most odd.

Watch looks ok. Still not sure if I prefer green bezel or black no date.
