I don't like the green bezel so I don't like this watch.

Respect your opinion ratty. You might as well share what you like

I like green. If Rolex were to re-issue the Hulk with a deeper green dial, I'd probably try to get one. The current black dial iteration is nice, just not exciting enough to me, but a great piece nonetheless.

I think if I tried looking at it hype aside as an outsider, I think the LN works better. But don't get me wrong, the LV is still a beautiful watch.

It's similar to how you often hear "non-watch" people favor the BLNR over the BLRO if you ask their opinions.

the MK2 green and black dial is a great combination. I was never a fan of hulk (too green for me) and I sold it after around 1 year back in 2014. This combination works perfect in my view.

I did have some qualms about the case (I thought I prefer the 116610 case over the new one) but the more I look at it, the more the new case design makes sense.

Don’t like it, hard to dress with anything. Not really fond of Green. Come to think of it I don’t own a single item of green clothing :)

Yeah, Kat is right - this - at least for the guys. My wife will match her watch to her main jewelry color for that day: either it's yellow gold, or SS / silver. However, it is rarely tied to her clothing choices (color wise). Guys - it's a very small green bezel!

Actually all the same 12LV. Crazy how the Hulk can look black and vice versa for Starbucks

I love the LV. It’s a great watch! All the perfection of the Submariner with just a cool splash of color (my favorite color) just makes it feel a little more special and nice.

Maybe it's just all social media nonsense haha. A friend of mine has the Hulk, so I've been lucky enough to spend a good amount of time with it, and it never really appealed to me very much. I think the LV hits a really good balance with the bezel insert providing a nice pop of color.

What do I think? If you like it, buy it.

Everyone is different and we are fortunate to have such great LV Sub choices. For me, it’s 116610LV > 16610LV >>>>> 126610LV.

It's a submariner with a green bezel.

Only stating the obvious, not sure what else there is to say, if you like the latest submariner then it simply comes down to whether you like the green or not.

As for pix's no there are enough pictures on here.
