Icon17 My First Rolex: The Hulk Submariner 116610LV
Hey everyone.. UPS overnight from my AD came today! I must say that this watch is spectacular in person. Photos do not do this watch justice at all, nor does the lighting in the jeweler. I really can't stop looking at it. I have been a Breitling and IWC guy over the past 8 years until The Hulk got my eye and I knew I had to have one. Here are some pics and I'll post a full review after a week or so of wearing.

Thanks to everyone who posted pics of this watch. It was a lot of fun looking through all the LV threads.

Congratulations! You have just twisted my arm with your pictures. Dr. Bruce Banner may just have to move up the ranks on my short list! Looks great on you! Wear it in good health!

Congrats on your first

The steel in that watch is enough to rip door frames apart, just like the Hulk......but I hope it doesn't come to that

Am I color blind? I swore that sweater was red...

I bet it will look even better when he takes the stickers off. I love the green!

Congrats on an absolutely a-w-e-s-o-m-e timepiece!

It's only the beginning and things will never be quite the same.

May you always stare at it in disbelief and marvel at its ability to always, always please...
