Would agree ............probably just not for everyone.

Kermis are far superior to hulks IMO

Those that don't know about watches might think a green Rolex looks cheap or fake. It's certainly not a traditional Rolex look. We will have to see how it ages in 50 years.

Gasoil4ever · 4 January 2016, 07:09 AM

On my side i am not saying it looks fake or cheap but dull, as the BLRO, I would have liked some more stand-out colors.

Of course working with ceramics is not easy and this is the best that can be produced in 2016.

So be it, but it is not fitting my taste, but in the end, who cares ? 😂

Here are some stand out colors for you.

To the OP: NO - the LV does not look cheap at all.

DOUBLE 0 SE7EN · 4 January 2016, 08:58 AM

I don't like to see mine under direct sunlight too.. Yes it feels a little weird.. But in all other light conditions it feels great .. A shot I've taken with my iphone 6...

Absolutly agree - in direct bright light I think the bezel is TOO bright green..but here..in this pic if it looked like this all the time it would be absolutely perfect

Robbyman · 4 January 2016, 09:31 AM

Not Irish so won't be buying as not a colour I like. Now blue is something else.

Roller07 · 4 January 2016, 09:34 AM

Cheap?!

Jack T · 4 January 2016, 09:45 AM

Not a watch I'd buy but I love how it looks on others' wrists. And it is anything but cheap looking.

Solicitor · 4 January 2016, 09:50 AM

Owned twice and sold twice. The dial is great, my issue is that the bezel is too green... bordering on.... but it looks every mm Rolex.

ALL of the ceramic bezel inserts seem to change color shades/hues in different lighting conditions. Not just the hulk. BLNR, Smurf, BLRO, all these bezel inserts change colors shades also. It is a product of the ceramic bezel.

Rolexing24_7 · 4 January 2016, 10:42 AM

Who else thinks that Heineken looks cheap?? That green is kind of bright bla bla blaa...

I can't believe how many people agree with this thread, but that's ok I used to think that the YM2 look like a toy

Rolex and cheap do not belong in the same sentence.

Airforce08 · 4 January 2016, 11:24 AM

Definitely not cheap looking...wasn't a fan just from pictures...but tried it on the other day at Fourtane's...it is stunning in person...crazy how different it looks when wearing it as opposed to in the case.

I remember the first time saw one when they issue the original anniversary edition: something very different from any other offering back then, thought was going to be limited but obviously was not as the color remained on the lineup until today. It does not look cheap at all, but not very versatile in terms of clothing combinations. Doubt would ever buy one.

Sublover2166 · 6 January 2016, 01:32 PM

How cheap looking. Taking mine to the nearest gas station to see if they will give me 5 bucks for it!

JtotheK · 6 January 2016, 02:53 PM

Love mine.

Rags · 6 January 2016, 02:57 PM

A green watch just isn't for me..

Chadridv · 6 January 2016, 03:29 PM

today's cheapo in all with all it's greenness!

I would not buy one at market cost, but would give you $5 bucks for it; will pay for shipping too !

Agreed I am surprised as well that this thread still has life. All I know is that I love my LV.

100 percent agree only reason i didnt take it - i was in the store and it was pastile green way too much but the dial was gorgeous - needs a british racing green bezel shame they didnt do that

Golfster · 12 January 2016, 11:51 AM

Although I'm not the biggest fan of green, my wife pointed this watch out to me when we were visiting a local AD for other jewelry. She started by saying, "now that doesn't look like all your other watches." I initially dismissed the idea but then gave the watch a closer look and in my opinion, the color looks much better in person than in many of the photos I've seen. I realize it isn't for everyone, but it was for me. I just added this to my GMT Master II and Submariner.

Oddly, a color I didn't think I'd want has become the attribute of the watch I like best!
