I think it will be my last Rolex, except if one day I win a lot of money, in which case a white gold sub, a WG GMT coke, and maybe a few others could join, but for now let's stay in reality.

So 2 months ago I was hesitating between a LV C and a BLNR, chose the 2nd because my grey dealer told me it was much harder to get, but today I called him and ordered the Hulk, having a LN, BLNR and Daytona 116515, think this is the perfect end to a Rolex sport collection, some don't agree but the green color, along with the blue color from the WG sub are just amazing, love how it changes color depending on the light.

So really happy, will be sure to post some pics when I get it.

Indeed - a no brainer. - and besides that, everyone should have at least one black faced Rolex..

Please post some pics once you have that Hulk - altough im not into the green colour - that piece is growing on me.

felicitations, arnaud! LVc is an awesome piece, which will fit your collection well.

but, judging by the flurry of posts over the past few weeks, i have a sense that this is not "the end".

Thanks. I realized that to get the BP I had to let go of the Daytona, brand new, plus add around 3.000 euros, so think it's not worth it, plus I heard the alarm in real, it's not great, like a buzzer, so that cooled me down a bit, great watch though, if one day I have the money might get it, but let go of the Dayto plus cash decided it isn't worth it…

Merci Cru no financially after this one it will be some time before the next, am getting a super price on it, brand new for 5.500 euros instead of 6.300, but it's from my favorite grey dealer, got a few from him so he does me great prices

Arnaud !!! You got the LVc ?!?!?!?!

You're going to love it. It will never come off your wrist




It's the absolute favorite watch I own, well, that and the 116619

It's a complete beast, goes with everything and all your going to do is keep watching the dial

Much congratulations, it's a keeper



Look, it likes the water !

I guess that'll be all in Rolexes for me, except if one day I pocket a large sum of money, in that case there'll be a few more, but after the Hulk, I am more considering a PP, maybe a Nautilus, or/and an AP, and a Blancpain L-Evolution alarm GMT, the steel version, but that won't be for a while, and don't know yet in what order, my wife wants me to get the BP, it's very original, I know that many here don't like it but not me, wanted to get the BP Léman rose gold with the same functions but finally prefer the steel modern version, here's a pic:
