How special is the LV?

The fact that we continue to debate this in 2022 only further speaks to the prolific impact of the watch. Hate it or love it, there hasn't been a more polarizing Rolex sub, and it continues to have trickle-on effects today.

Otherwise, yes, I agree. The 2004 and 2020 eras were completely different. The original LV is a beautiful watch - probably my pick of a "one and done" sub if I am to be frank. But in the scheme of modern watch trends and collecting, no sub reference has had a broader impact on the watch world than the Hulk.

Help me understand then - if the hulk “set the watch industry alight for the green trend” why didn’t the green trend happen in 2010/2011 when it was released/new to the market?
