Tried on The Hulk today

Never really considered this model but at a dealer today browsing and it caught my eye. I need to be strong and wait for my Daytona C to arrive but this really tempted me. Nice colors, unique , glide lock, reasonable price point..

Hulk looks incredible in person.

No picture can convey how great it looks on the wrist and under a variety of lights. That might be my next Rolex.

Very unique watch.

This is on the top of my ever-changing list. It would be my first-ever repurchase! I had one, loved it, but moved it for other reasons. I think it's time to get one back. Unless I find a smokin' deal for a BLNR, I might buy one very soon.

It's over for you.... Once you see it... You can't unsee it till it's on your wrist. Awesome watch and the only sub date I'd own.

I agree. Having seen pics it didn't pique my interest. In person there are subtle differences between the bezel and dial green. And of course the dial looks different at various angles and light. Really surprised me how much I liked it in person.

Initially I disliked the LVc, but it grew on me after sometime and after I bought it I must say, it is incredible, very versatile and the color is exquisite

Lvc is one of the best. I'd wait for your daytona c though.

I picked one up last weekend and love it. I hope to acquire a black Daytona C sometime in this lifetime but this one is giving me enjoyment while I try to locate a Daytona. It's a nice piece to include in rotation with my TT GMT2c and black sub.
Dial in different light conditions is remarkable.

Once the LVc is on the mind, it's inevitably on the wrist. So, the sooner you get it, the sooner you can enjoy it.

Majority here feels same way when trying on. Yours truly included. Took a pass on the LN and straight to LV

Get it. I think in the long run it's a better choice over the Daytona. Daytona fever is rampant these days.

Hulk bug hit me as well. Will have mine in hand in two days. Looking forward. Also on hunt for Daytona C, however no idea when they'll hit Asia. Can wait til end of this year/next year I guess.

It's been on my mind as well for another fun watch. Just wondering, how versatile is it to wear, what colors does it go best with?

Tom, that's how trouble starts .... Looking for another while waiting for the one

If you're not committed to the 500C, perhaps a fling with the LV is worth it
