If you’re a regular here at the channel, then you know about my love for the Rolex Submariner. That said, I have never spent serious time with the reference 116610LV, aka The Hulk, and for good reasons.
It is without a doubt the most polarizing Sub, and as someone who is not a fan of the color green (but still has a profound fondness for emeralds!) how will I feel about it after a few days on the wrist? How does it compare to its considerably more controversial predecessor, the equally loved and loathed "Kermit" sub, reference 16610LV?
Most importantly, why is Rolex so obsessed with the color green? Join me in today’s watch review to find out if this watch is the worst Submariner of all time or the coolest.

I saw an absolutely lovely "Hulk" in an authorised dealers in 2011. Then it was priced at just over £5,000 new. I had the money at the time, and sorely regret not getting it.

I love the Hulk, I think the green is amazing. I do not like Kermit. The hulk can look at different colors depending on how the light hits it but I do not like what people are selling them for. Way over list price. It is just a sub but the Green dial and Bezel is awesome color combo. Thanks for the video.

I love green. My favorite color in general. The dial is gorgeous. But I’ve always felt unconvinced by colored ceramic bezels. There’s something milky about the color, something off. I always prefer the anodized color of aluminum bezels when there’s a color involved. I think this Rolex would be perfection if it had a black ceramic bezel with that green sunburst dial. Other than that, lets get more German watch brand reviews TGV!

The ultimate hype watch. You could get these for a discount at ADs prior to the craze. I prefer it to the Kermit, as I'm not a big fan of the Kermit green. Always remind yourself, would you really buy this watch if it was pretty easily available at ADs? The answer was no for a lot of people and then became yes when it became hard to get. People are buying Rolex models because they are hard to get, not necessarily because they love the actual watch. This hype has fueled more hype and thus AD displays are empty. I've handled almost every modern Rolex and it is laughable how much some sell for. At list, they are expensive but still fantastic watches. At the grey market prices, many models are punching way above their weight. I've got a 16710 and Milgauss Z-Blue. Plan on getting a JC to complete my trio. All 3 watches standout for the right reasons. 16710 is the pinnacle of the GMT in my opinion, the Milgauss Z-Blue is the most aesthetically ambitious and unique watch they have produced on a semi-mass scale, and the JC is a technological marvel with one of the greatest dials ever made. Bias aside, if the cyclops and size doesn't bother you the SD43 is probably the best watch Rolex produce today.

British Racing Green originated in 1903. Racing was illegal in England at the time, so when the Gordon Bennet Cup was held in Ireland that year, British cars were painted green as a show of respect to Ireland for letting them race. The dark shade of forest green later became synonymous with British racing cars and was named British Racing Green.

TGV or others on the channel: my father-in-law just showed me an ancient Rolex DateJust in yellow gold. I'm guessing 1950-1970, as it was his grandfather's watch (he worked on a train line, so I'm sure it was a necessity for the job). It has an "accordion" expansion bracelet, and cyclops eye, but I can't seem to find an example online to figure out the reference #. Is there a good, reputable place I could ask about this, and to do refurbishment on the watch? It's actually so old that the glue holding the hour makers on has disintegrated so some of them have fallen off the watch! Still runs though.... wow.

How nice to remind us of William Blake. He, too, wasn't receiving the appreciation of contemporaries as I he could have been, perhaps due to his eccentric nature - him claiming to be accompanied by visions of Angels from his early life onwards. And a somewhat sophisticated idea to use this hint of rejection to reflect the what "the Hulk" does experience from many people, all in combination with the more obivous reference to "green pastures", even if the first might have been accidental - I love it.

No doubt a true gem of a watch. TGV your camera work around the dial and bezel did excite me so much, I do see the Hulk as a great fun version and I can only imagine how much fun and joy owning one could bring. Contrary to your thoughts, I feel the bezel tone compliments the lustre of the dial. However, with the choice available and all prices considered, I'm not sure i would pick this over other iterations on offer. If fun was the name of the game, maybe a 11613 blue dial bicolour or the black dial version would trump it??? Great show TGV and man that intro, you nearly had me in tears

Hello TGV, I'm wondering if the green color may have any connection with the classic Wimbledon tennis tournament. Rolex being the official timekeeper of the tournament since '78 and of course, the colors of green, white and purple are all represented in the tradition. The lawn green color representing the grass courts. The legendary Bjorn Borg, in fact, wore a '56 gold Oyster Perpetual Day Date with a green dial and black leather band. Just food for thought.

your right about it looking so much better than pictures, i was lucky enough to pick one up at a AD recently and cant take it off. The dial to me is more often black than green unless under direct light (which i love giving it an infrequent zing) but generally its relatively toned down with a subdued black face look, so for my wardrobe matching its not really an issue and or i just love the watch making a bit more of a fashion statement.

Hi TGV Yes, it is an acquired taste. On the other hand; I would be willing to change my wardrobe to match this watch. Off cause the black version is the safe choice but this one is just as classic on its own terms. Really like that attitude. A classic (-and classy) brand like Rolex doesn’t have to do much to raise an uproar amongst followers... I do like the Hulk’s color scheme better but do agree with you preferring the more elegant case design of the older models, such as the Kermit model. Keep up the good work👍

I admire that dark green enough that I've opted for a green bezel insert on my SKX. There's something enticing about it..

TGV, I truly love your intro in this one. I also like the Submariner, but the green is so lovely compared to others. The dial is wonderful. I like how it changes with the light as you mentioned. The bezel with its muted green is quite nice, but I agree with you about the reverse Kermit. Another wonderful video, my friend. Cheers!👍♥️

Stellar effort good sir. Enjoyed thoroughly, though will probably not get the hulk. Perhaps the Kimsdun in the same colours.... hehehe. Just jokes. Keep up the good work. Kia kaha (as her majesty's subjects from the antipodes [NZ] say)

That reverse Kermit rendering looked really great IMO. And might make for a fitting replacement of the Hulk combined with the latest 3235 movement, if it is ultimately discontinued.

I`m a big fan of W.Blake, as a writer as well as an artist. I can`t say the same about "The Hulk". England has the green and pleasant land, and Rolex Sub shall have a black dial. Great video!!

Imagine this green on a Alpanist, Stunning piece unfortunately is not for everyone, much rather wear the black Rolex a goes with everything, but the Hulk will be hulk no matter what people thinks, great review on this iconic piece 👍👍Thank you my friend a looks good on you.

Said it before I'm not really a fan of the Sub, and tbh the only Green watch I could be tempted by is an Alpinist. But as with everything what I and what others like and dislike is simply a matter of opinion, just as people's opinions on the greatest dive watch. Lovely watch, not for me, but for those who have it enjoy. Great video as always 👍

Diving watches looks their best with a black dial. And like you said, there's nothing like the LN sub. But when Rolex introduced the green LV, it was almost like a faux pas with a diving watch. But having done that this one is always there in most of the collectors. Prices have been slightly up on retail but a. 50% or more , hikee in the grey market. This shows that people want to get a hold of the 'Hulks'. And there are also rumours that this will only be produced for 10 years.

I feel like maybe if the bezel were still black, the green dial might fit better. Or perhaps if there were a black Submariner that had green "ROLEX" text... A green watch is one of those things that sounds more feasible for one who has numerous luxury watches and thus can have one of each color, so to speak. But for someone like me, who can really only afford to maybe buy a single luxury watch in maybe my whole life, I wouldn't want to get a color other than black.

The positives? Another stunning intro. The idea of a "reverse Kermit". The negatives? Yeah, not sure about the amount of green-ness. But there again, maybe I'm just jealous that I can't afford one.

I love green watches, and I deed the colour In general. Sadly the Hulk is beyond my current means, so I opted for a current Seiko in this same colour scale. I'm glad that more brands are introducing green in their finish options.
