New Purchase - Couldn't pass this one up - What a beauty

Good morning everyone,

I wanted to share my excitement at a new purchase I made this week. Prior to this point, I had read about and seen photographs of the green Submariner otherwise known as the 'Hulk' but had never seen one in person.

I happened into a Rolex Authorized Dealer earlier in the week and they had one in the showcase. All I can say is, "Wow!" The green sunburst dial looked absolutely stunning. I had been thinking of getting a black dial Submariner but after seeing the green 'Hulk', the decision was made to go for the latter. In different lighting situations, the dial ranges from a beautiful robust green to a forest green to even that of resembling a black dial of sorts. To me, amazing.

Anyhow, just thought I'd share what I think is one totally awesome new watch!

Love that dial, the green is so rich it almost looks black. It's strange, in some lighting it looks too green to me, but your picture looks fantastic! I will have to see it in person for myself.

I thought that same thing initially. But once I saw it in person, I was totally sold. It's one beautiful dial with lots of facets/color variations to it.
