Starbucks Mk1 vs 2

Hi gang,

I have the Hulk, however, I want a Starbucks, too. Probably stupid I know, but I like the new 41mm case, movement etc. However, I want to get the version of green that is most dissimilar to my Hulk. It is very difficult to tell from the pictures if the Mark one Dial or the Mark two Dial is closest to the Hulk. Has anyone seen both in person and is able to verify? Thank you so much!

Mark 1 is similar to Hulk. Mark 2 is less similar; more of a “lime” color.

It isn’t really 41mm. More like 0.3mm larger.

I can understand why you would want one though based upon the black dial aesthetic.

Mk1 green is the same as the Hulk and is discontinued. Mk2 is current version (2023+) and is more lime/Kermit green that’s why it’s referred to as Cermit (Ceramic + Kermit).

MKII the new green bezel color similar to the original Kermit. Which was released last year.

Cheers,

MK1 is darker so with the green dial (in the Hulk case) it would look nice because the lighter dial would tone it down but in case of the Cermit or Avocado like someone named it then the dark black dial would suit the lighter MK2. This is just my opinion after seeing both :)

Been waiting on one of these from my (previously very good) AD for coming up 9 months now... was flip-flopping with the idea of pulling the plug and just getting a 'hulk' instead.

I too couldn't discern between the Mk1 and 2 via a computer screen and lighting will always affect photos - so very helpful to have it explained in such a simple way

Yes, definitely get the MK2 version, as the bezel on MK1 would be the exact same as your Hulk.

I always felt the bezel on hulk when I had it was too pastel green - i love the deeper shade on the mk2 and is closer to the kermit
