Since I started to use leica cameras I opted for the silver on black color for all three models I have. My wife think I got only one :-)

As far as she knows I've had one motorcycle for 21 years straight.

From my own humble perspective, I do not see the appeal of the Cermit. It is a black sub with a green bezel. The most complaints that I read about the Hulk surround the bezel. So not sure how taking that bezel in conjunction with a black dial improved things. What makes the Hulk special for me is the sunburst green dial which is mesmerizing. Depending on how the light hits it, I get a Hulk or a Cermit as it some lights the dial looks black. Congratulations on both watches. |

116610lv is the much more interesting dial. The new 12 series looks cheap to me.

Congrats! Great looking watch. Back in the days when I could buy and sell easily, this situation came up often. At one point I had 5 LN Subs from different eras, so I could easily pass another one in the mix. The usual response, "they all look the same"

"She then asked me to try on both. So I put them on side by side, and she was surprised by just changing the dial to black what a sharp difference it made (she didn’t comment on the other details). "
Surprise surprise.. Some of us realized this back in 2003 Kermit still gets my vote. But big congrats. Looks good ![]() |

It's all preference, I personally like the Hulk more. And I don't own one. Both are great though.

Awesome ! I surely can’t wait to be able to take that same comparison pic myself .. absolutely love my green sub —- but I’m just as big of a fan of the new one .. I’ve been told I can expect it before the new year so I’m hoping for that to be true .. so pumped and seeing these posts don’t make it easy !! Lol
Also I read through the comments - I think people who aren’t seeing the appeal in this compared to the hulk just need to see it in person, OR some quality photos of it - in different lighting scenarios and different angles... because I myself admit, initially I was thinking ok well a black sub with a hulk bezel (so to speak) really isn’t anything to write home about !!?? ...oh no, I was way wrong ..! Awesome awesome piece, it just works .. especially with the new proportions, and size overall, bracelet .. I’m a fan all the way around .. but the good news for me is I’m still every bit the fan of the previous model so lucky for me I really love both .. and soon enough can say I have both too lol ! |

My wife does not notice and does not really care. When pressed to tell me which one she prefers, she chose the Explorer II. She has great taste and I love her very much. We've known each other for 44 years, married 36.

I am not fully transparent and when I do share my wife just rolls her eyes and says "you have a problem", which I 100% agree with!

Seems like a lot of you guys have great wives. Like a recurring theme.
That said, my theory is that because our relationships are going so well contributes to where we are in life that we can afford to enjoy Rolex as a hobby.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
