Jokes aside the new mk2 bezel makes more sense to be called Kermit if you must

I think we all should finally agree that the darker MK 1 bezel is Starbucks and the never lighter toned MK 2 is Cermit

Congrats anyhow!

Thank you. That's what I call mine. I picked it up 10 days ago.

The Kermit will always be the 5-digit.

I tried on a Mk1 (Starbucks) a couple of weeks ago, and was not impressed with the dark green bezel. At all.




Haven't tried on a Mk2 to see the difference, but the pictures don't impress.

If I ever get one I'd get the Flat 4 5-digit.

Congrats, OP! Can someone please explain to me the difference between the Kermit, Cermit, and Starbucks nicknames, and I’m not talking frogs or coffee. Thanks.

You know that picture is not of the flat 4, right? 5 digits are quite nice.

Nice One ! Starbucks mk 1 or 2 are great watches, I prefer mk 2 with the lighter green, more of an ode to the original Kermit ..
Watch or Drink, love the brushed links too ..

Yes I know it isn't.

I had the wrong pic in there and switched it, but didn't hit save apparently.

Enter not get that one as it’s not a flat four.

I know it’s previously frozen but I’m a fan of their Impossible Breakfast Sandwich. Dunkin’ had something similar, but I can’t seem to find it anymore. I suppose that’s why there isn’t a Dunkin’ Rolex.

Anyway, congrats on the watch, or the coffee or whatever. Try the sandwich.

Kermit is the 5 digit LV

Hulk/Cermit is the 6 digit LV with green face

Starbucks is the 6 digit LV with black face


Cermit didn't take as a nickname, but people still throw it around.

Thank you. So, basically the Starbucks is the newer Kermit reference, with ceramic bezel, and the Cermit is the same as the Hulk. Got it. Let’s hope Rolex releases a Coke at W & W….

I thought Cermit applied only to the 126610LV. I only mention that because I thought it was rather creative. 16610 Kermit, Hulk 116610, Cermit 126610. I prefer the nickname over Starbuck but that’s because I’m a Dunkin’ guy.
