116610 LV is stunning, the sunburst dial is so special, doubt they will be made again.

The dial sparkles in the sun, but in darker conditions is almost black, totally outshines the 126610 LV

I'm a Hulk fan too, the dial is magical and varies with the light from almost black to emerald green. As I understand it, the brushed sunray dial is made from a proprietary mix of yellow gold and aluminum dust. But that's my tastes.

If you want a Starbucks, then I agree the mark I dial is better as the mark II is too much lime imho.

No right or wrong, just what you like. Good luck to the OP in his search, take your time. Cheers.

Thanks. I’ve only purchased 1 watch with my local AD and that was 10yrs ago so the waiting list probably won’t do me any good unfortunately. I’ve bought grey the last two times and once the grey prices come down a bit BNIB I’ll stay put, but I know what I want now. 😁

Much, much prefer the Hulk over starbucks, any day of the week. And the price reflects that. Hulk is so much nicer.

I even prefer the 16610LV over the Starbucks by a mile.

I had 126610LV (Starbucks MK1) and somehow didn't like it. I sold it, and after some time I managed to buy a brand new 116610LV (Hulk) from a collector's safe, which is with me to this day. The proportions of Hulk and ergonomics made it my pick of the two. Then there's the green dial...

I’ve tried on the Hulk a few times and loved it each time before seeing the MK1 Starbucks, BUT now you are making me second guess which one to add to the collection! 🤣 The Hulk is beautiful if you like green which I do, just worry it may be too much green to wear if I were to make it mainly my every day…
