HULK as an Everyday (and only) Watch?
Thoughts? I'd really like to hear especially from owners who have this as their daily wearer. Thanks in advance

I have several others but have contemplated this very seriously... If there could only be one between my PP, AP, Rolex....It would be my HULK
I would not give it up for any watch as a daily. |

Mine is buried in a rotation. For me, it is NOT a daily wearer. Most will probably disagree but I feel this way due to the color only. It is just too much for me to pull off in an office enviroment.

I had it and flipped it after about a year or so. I wore it almost daily but found I grew tired of the green everyday and it is just not as versatile as a black Sub. That being said, it is a great looking watch. But as a only watch, I would vote no.

Not a one watch person, but if I had to, I can wear it daily.

I want to wear it daily, but my wife wouldn't let me. She wants it too.

As an LV owner, I must admit, I could not use it as my everyday only watch based on my current lifestyle. I would need another watch that is a little more dressy such as a Datejust or Day-Date.

I understand not this "only" watch concept of which you speak.

Yes, I could, it's a wonderful watch. The dial is a new every time you look at it and is mostly a blackish looking color unless you're out in sunlight.

I wouldn't wear it as a daily because I discovered the bluesy, but if I hadn't then yes I would wear it everyday.
It does look slightly odd with darker red shades like plum, purple, oranges etc but everything else matches fine. |

I thought it would make a great everyday watch because I really love the colour green.
Once I bought it and had it on my wrist I knew I couldn't live with the green bezel everyday. The dial is amazing but the bezel doesn't always look as amazing, and I knew I had to have a black bezel.....but that's just me. Its a great watch and many love it completely. I say if you LOVE green, go for it! |

I had mine for a year as my only Rolex and it was perfect. I have since had and flipped a polar ExpII for a BLNR. I still wear my Hulk 85% of the time and would not part with it ever.
For me it is the PERFECT everyday wearer - you cannot go wrong with it. |

I had it as a number 2, but grew tired of the green. I could make it a number 3 in a rotation.
But I say try it. Worse case, you flip it for a black sub. |

The LVc is my first and (currently) only Rolex. I wear it everyday without fail and love it! It might cease to be a daily wearer when I get my next Rolex, but that won't be for a while yet, so in the mean time I'm enjoying the HULK! Also, as it's my first Rolex, I will never part with it either.
My advice: buy it, wear it, love it! |

Its my go too watch on the weekends. Not sure it could be my one and only.
But maybe. It would be very hard to part with so that says something. |

I'm with you, Jake. I've got a few watches that COULD be daily wearers, but I'd rather they stay in a rotation. Enjoy wearing different watches too much.
That said, I think a Hulk could be a daily wearer if you only want one watch. Though it really depends what you do. |

My LVc is my daily when I'm in my own time zone. I flip between my LVc and EXPII -- because of my need for a GMT complication when I am up in the air.
I just sent away my LVc for service, so I'm really missing it already.

Beautiful watch - one of the great sunburst dials..but not a daily. Black dial is the most versatile IMO.
I could live with only one Rolex...only if it were a black dial. |
