The Big Green Monster is Finally Mine
I've lusted after a Hulk for several years. I posted this thread back in 2016 about trying one on at an airport AD and musing whether I should buy it:
https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=497007 What a shame I didn't jump then when I had the chance. For those of you feeling nostalgic, check out this photo to see what stock levels were like only a few years ago:  Admittedly, I think they were charging steep premiums for some models. Anyway, about a month ago I finally managed to get the Hulk on my wrist permanently after I did a trade for another watch. I'm very happy. This thing just oozes quality and I love seeing the pop of green every time I look down. As others have noted, the dial is chameleon-like and looks its best in full sunlight. Enjoy the pictures below.

I see a black ceramic Daytona in the case. That’s amazing. I don’t think I have ever seen one in a case before.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they were charging a premium for the Daytona. Remember, this was 2016 and the ceramic had only just been released. Of course, like with the Hulk, no one knew where prices would go in subsequent years... |

Great story!
Congratulations! Regarding the daytona I didn't think AD's were allowed to charge premiums over MSRP. I thought daytonas were never available for the average person to just walk in and purchase. I once handled the hulk 2 years ago and could have bought. But never a daytona.
