Icon20 Fifty Shades of Green ( The Hulk )

It has been more than two years I own the hulk, I still didn't get use to the dial colour under the strong sunlight.. It looks too grainy.. The crystal looks dirty.. It was serviced a year ago by the authorised Rolex Service and they couldn't clean the crystal from the inside properly and after bringing it back to service again they cleaned it as it must be but still I think it is dirty.. Maybe it is psycological .. But I have a strange feeling that it is still dirty.. Especially in the strong yellowish light it appears to be dirty but the ad says it is the reflection of the dial's structure.. I have some photos in the different sunlight conditions.. What do you think? Do you think the crystal is dirty from the inside? I don't mean the small dusts you see; they are outside the crystal.. All your comments are welcomed..

I own one as well. The AD is right. It's the dial iterations...yours looks as it should from each angle! That looks excellent!!!

It's funny, as it sounds like the things you don't like about the 116610LV's Sunburst dial....are all the things that most people whom buy it absolutely love!

Looks fine to me too, but not a fan of Hulk of 50th anniversary Sub.

Looks good to me. I think it may be the light condition at times and the green sunburst. Great watch. I love mine.

I am not seeing it either. One would probably need to see it in person to tell.
