Its green. If green is not your color you will tire of this watch quickly. Putting a white Rubber B or Everest strap on it really makes it a cool summer watch.

No it’s a really cool piece. I sold my Kermit for it. After comparing the two the Kermit felt cheesy. Love all the improvements on the HULK.

Impossible. It's the best sub maybe ever. Other than the 16610LV of course.

I was on the fence but love mine. Haven't tired one bit of it and still look at it in awe when I wear it.

I’ve had my LV for a few days and love it, especially the different green tones in different light conditions.

The green is beautiful and certainly unique, but I went with the more common no date black sub instead. I was close to getting the hulk, but decided I wanted the more versatile black instead. It is a timeless color that works with everything. I’m not really one who cares about matching watches/straps to clothes, but the green is a pretty bold color even though it takes on a darker look depending on the light. I wanted something that didn’t stand out as much, which is why I got the black sub. The hulk is a beautiful color though if you’re looking for a piece with a pop of color.

I think you need a black Sub by default and then from there you can expand into some colour as your collection builds.
That's me anyway..
I have to agree with this.
I've had my Bluesy for almost 4 years now but shortly after
a BLNR, SD4K, TT LN Sub and Now a 16610 LN Sub in the mix.
Rotation is key to keep from being bored of one watch...
Not to say that my Bluesy couldn't be my one and only cause it was
and it still can be ... Having another Rolex to mix it up is nice though.

Will never be tired of the LVc. Brilliant watch with tons of personality. It appears very different under various lighting from vibrant to black/dark-inky green.

No. One of the sharpest dials in the line up. IMO

Don’t be scared of tiring of a color. People get tired of any watch regardless of color. You just need to realise that the honeymoon period ends eventually, and then another phase in your watch relationship begins.

I personally did get tired of the green. I owned the Kermit and the hulk at different times. I realized that green is just not a color for me.

Have owned them both

New version of the original was a phenomenal timepiece.
Seriously, never looked right to me. Something about the green.
Gave to a family member.
Kept this one though.
