Nice watch. Was looking at this, the BLNR, or the YM 2. Ended up going with the BLNR, but this was a close second.

I still own my Hulk and still love it.

I purchased the Hulk recently and love it.
Great looking watch and the dealers up here have a waiting list for them as they are becoming harder to get.
I heard a price increase coming any day now also so get one now

Too bad the hulk doesn't come in two tone. I think it would look very unique. I love the two tone bracelets.

You should make the trip to billings and try it on before making any decision. I think this applies to any watch purchase. Go with what sings to you the best, don't look to us for validation if your heart is with another. If you really like the bluesy and it is going to be your last Rolex, then save for that one. This is about YOU, how it makes YOU feel. Best of luck and post pics when you are done.

Such a nice green dial!

The hulk is becoming more and more desirable to me every day!

Congrats on your choice but if you stay around the forum, you'll probably end up with a Hulk too :smokin:

I'm in Montana and where I'm at the nearest AD is in Billings. I've never tried one on or seen one in person. When I called the Billings AD he tried to talk me into a Batman. He said they are the nicest looking Rolex's in his cabinet in his opinion. He said the demand is high for the blue and black. He did say the Hulk was not ostentatious or over the top.

I owned a black ceramic pictured in my post and loved it but got kinda bored with it.

I would say at this point the three candidates are a two tone bluesy, Hulk or a Batman. Some gold is tempting.

For your last Rolex I would not opt to box myself in
with an all green sub ... The other two choices on your
List are fantastic!!! Here's some eye candy . Can't go
wrong with either the TT Bluesy Sub C Sunburst blue dial
or the GMT BLNR .... Unless you want to celebrate ST. Patrick's Day
Everyday ... Then get the Green Sub ... Best wishes... :chuckle:

I am excited for delivery Wed.

Thanks all for the Input and ideas!

Dave in Montana!

Great choice !!! Congrats !!! 2 years later ... :chuckle:

That would be amazing. Especially the gold crown on the green dial. That would be the one watch that I would immediately get on the waiting list for. My favorite PM watch is the YG GMT with green dial.

Have owned my Explorer 39mm for some 3 years now and thought it a good idea for another Rolex, of course!
Contacted a Main Dealer in Old Bond Street, London and they said there is a 6 month waiting list for a Hulk! A Black, somewhat shorter time.
So tomorrow I will visit the M D, check out the Explorer 2 and place an order for a Hulk. Am in no hurry. When the Hulk eventually arrives in, will compare with the Ex 2 and chose the Hulk no doubt! As to my eyes, the Hulk is beautiful!
Although tomorrow I will be leaving the M D empty handed, it's always nice to browse amongst Rolex watches!
I will not be flipping my Explorer 39mm as it is a perfect watch for truly all occasions. As I think to myself, can I wear a Hulk to the gym or to a black tie dinner? Well I don't think I could, but no doubt I will try!
But I am up for a change and it's going to be to the Hulk!

Although I'm not a big fan of green dialed watches, I,must admit that I can probably get used to Hulk. As others mentioned, you should definitely try the watch in person, before ordering it.

BigAl72 9 August 2016 02:57 AM

I absolutely love my Hulk.

brmeyers 9 August 2016 03:44 AM

X100 on loving my Hulk.
One of the best dials on a watch I have ever seen, plus the Sub
is my favorite Rolex.
It is more versatile than I thought and as mentioned the dial can look almost
black at certain angles and lighting.

jonnylax 23 August 2016 05:05 AM

I love almost every rolex but for some reason the HULK Sub just doesn't do it for me. For starters it doesn't really match anything? I know there are a bunch of you on here who love it so don't bash me, I mean i guess its cool to be different than just a traditional black sub that everyone has but green? just isn't for me. Still a beautiful watch i just could spend 10k on something that "goes" with everything.

kwingy 31 August 2016 11:34 PM

I had the Green Submariner for about 5 months then flipped it.
I got bored of the green really fast and I hate to say it but it's one of those watches that look superb in magazine pictures but when you get it on your wrist you will love it but eventually want to move on.
Sometimes from time to time I still like looking at pictures of it but I certainly don't miss it that much.
Another factor is the ceramic bezel looks so shiny and pristine in black where as in green it doesn't have the same effect IMO.

I never ever thought I'd ever wear let alone own a green watch. As you've owned the sub I'm sure there's nothing new anyone can tell you about it, but the green really is special. I awed it, I bought it, I was confused as to my final stance on it, .... then I fell more and more in love with it. If it sparks intrigue... think about it, but if you absolutely have to have it then do it and you won't be let down =)
