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.

I did the exact same--LVC was my daily for 6 months and it just wasn't versatile enough and flipped mine for the BLNR--have been very happy. Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful watch that would have been perfect in a rotation, but that isn't what I needed it for, as I have other choices I'd prefer on the weekends. The BLNR just works with everything...

Good luck

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

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.

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!

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.
