Hulk because of the dial. If you want a Rolex green watch, get a green watch. If you don’t then don’t. Don’t justify w half green half black or too much green etc.

I left my hulk in a hotel safe and the hotel claimed there was nothing in there. Point of this is that as much as I loved the hulk, I am working to replace it with a kermit.

As a daily wearer the hulk with its ceramic bezel is obviously more robust.



For wow factor, personally I like the Kermit. The bezel colour has such a lovely hue to it.

First post ever but given I have got 2 Subs (a standard black stainless and a kermit) I would say that despite the ceramic bezel being a bit more robust on the hulk the kermit is also pretty robust and I completely adore my kermit.

So the frog has it for me.

Granted I haven’t seen either I person, but from pictures, my vote is for the Kermit as it seems more versatile and I like the the contrast

Kermit all the way. I almost “upgraded “ to the Hulk back before the current hype but decided to keep the Kermit and add a SubC ND. Still very happy with this decision.

Yeah, I had insurance on all my watches and my wife's jewelry for 20 years and never filed a claim...so the year before I lost my HULK, I canceled it. Shame on me.

Kermit gets my vote because of the better proportions.

The Hulk looks like a guy in skinny jeans next to the Kermit with those lugs, I just can’t unsee it!

Hulk.
Its all about that dial.

But I will add this. Kermit did nothing for me. Until I saw one in person in the wild. WOW!
It is quite impressive...

Kermit if functionality and history is important. Hulk, if style is what drives you.

Having had both, I prefer the 116610LV by far.

In order of reasons:
-Glidelock
-Ceramic bezel
-Dial

Kermit vs Hulk

Both are incredible watches. The reason I have both is that I I couldn’t decide which one to keep.
As an every day watch I would go with a Hulk because of the bracelet, glide lock AND the amazing dial that I enjoy extremely. The level of wearable confort goes to the LVC by a mile for me even thought it’s heavier.
I love the Kermit because it has the maxi dial on a 5 digit case. The green on the bezel is a wonderful shade that creates a playful contrast with the black dial. Classic and fun at the same time.

Both watches are beautiful but I prefer the Hulk and I am also a proud owner of the Hulk. I have no regrets I love my watch.

I understand that the Kermit is sought after as it’s discontinued but if It is still in production, I would still pick the hulk over a Kermit

I think you've said it really well. I like the hulk's dial and bracelet, not so much the bezel's shade. If the Kermit had the upgraded bracelet, I'd choose it hands down despite the plain black dial (which I'm totally fine with). The way things are, hard to choose.
