Started thinking about purchasing the Hulk as of late rather than another model and my only concern is the daily wearability and versatility. Can any owners supply feedback on this reference as a daily wearer and if it goes with all? Also, what year did they stop making this piece? Thanks!!

SWISSAHOLICS · 15 April 2013, 10:26 AM

What year did they stop making this piece?

116610 is still in production my friend. Definitely a daily wearer....may not go with everything but certainly a favorite among the members here and a popular reference.

AK797 · 15 April 2013, 10:33 AM

The dial is often alot darker than the pics on here so I think it can be worn pretty much all the time, without AD lighting it looks pretty subtle in reality.

Thanks for the clarification as I didn't realize the LV is still in production...

Get it! You will not regret buy it. The watch dial is incredible iridescent green.

It is a Submariner, so it is versatle.

andpassport · 15 April 2013, 10:41 AM

I meant "versatile"

Nidal · 15 April 2013, 12:27 PM

The unique thing is that the dial changes its color with different angles and provides unique contrast sight the carefully picked bezel color. It seems to hold a slightly better resale value than the black sub.
Roughly the black/green production ratio is 4/1!
Does that tell you something

DRKBC · 15 April 2013, 01:06 PM

I would just wear it, I wouldn't be to concerned with what it matched or didn't I love the watch.

Longhorn · 15 April 2013, 01:19 PM

I wear it with everything and for everything.

travisb · 15 April 2013, 06:51 PM

It makes a great daily wearer. Don't over think it.

The letters LV are actually used in the model number of 2 watches.

There is the 16610LV which is indeed discontinued.

Then there is the 116610LV which is the current model.

Its 40mm and goes well with green things.

Not so much with red or blue.
Yellow might be ok.
If that helps.

Tom,
You know you have nice pics and a great place to take them but they are always upside down????

jay1988 · 15 April 2013, 08:14 PM

I've noticed this is quite a common question.

I maintain that it would not go with everything and I would not have it as my only watch. If you have another watch then go for it. At the time I tried it on I was wearing a grey jumper and dark blue jeans. I have to say it looked great with that.

If you wore it with too much red you'd look like Christmas came early (Unless it was Christmas ...)

have to disagree....goes GREAT with blue. and, when was the last time at the beach that someone thought palm trees clashed with the sea?

even goes great with red, so long as it's not too much red.

I actually disagree on the blue. I've seen some pics of it with baby and dark blue and they work. They're on TRF actually.

tattooedfagin · 15 April 2013, 08:28 PM

Beautiful watch, dial appears different shades depending on the angle but every one is a winner, pull the trigger, you won't regret it

Watcheroo · 15 April 2013, 08:32 PM

Very wearable. Goes with most everything. If you want it, get it. You won't have any regrets.

Amazing pictures guys. I'm drooling right now!!!

MATCH1969 · 15 April 2013, 11:55 PM

easy to wear on a daily base

bwingwing · 16 April 2013, 12:08 AM

Hulk!! I like it very much!!

montpyt · 16 April 2013, 10:52 AM

It's amazing how the dial changes color under different lighting conditions....I love mine

NoVaSubowner · 16 April 2013, 11:03 AM

Entirely wearable as an only watch for all the reasons listed above. The dial is amazing and the watch is unique. You will not be disappointed.

X2. It's too stunning to be concerned about matching all your clothes.

With gray

With purple

Pink

Orange

AmbSteve · 16 April 2013, 11:20 AM

Easily a daily wearer and goes with anything. I couldn't wait to get my hands on one after seeing pics of it and am completely satisfied. Just can't go wrong with this one.

I never mentioned it, but your avatar was one of the images that made me decide I had to have the watch.

boogiebot · 16 April 2013, 11:47 AM

It works fine as a daily. Heck even if it was just a one piece only you would be fine. Like others have stated it looks dark or light just depending on the lighting conditions.

Put it like this if you bought it and got bored I could almost guarantee that you would have no issues selling it.
