Much as I like the look of the 16610LV, the model that started it all, I prefer the more modern and solidly built Tudor take on the green aluminium insert. The price is more attractive too.

I’m with @Harry-57 on this one. That combination looks fantastic!

Black dial, the Hulk is truly unattractive.

I'm a fan of blue dials but the hulk is also cool...

The "Hulk" by a large magnitude, IMHO. Black Sub dials are everywhere. Green much rarer. My friend has a Hulk and that dial is fantastic when you see it up close and personal.

126610LV all the way... as for me, green dial cheapens the look on the Hulk...

You know what. I was looking for a way to describe what I felt, looking at my Hulk after having worn the Starbucks for the past months. I wasn't quite sure what it was, but this description actually nails it.

Wait list for the 126610lv (will be this year).
Hulk is just not pleasant with the green on green. Lovely reflections and interesting, but not as a watch to wear!
And that ghastly lug profile. The new 41 is much nicer in its proportions and on the wrist.

The new green bezel of the mark two just cements my opinion.

I started with an F series 16610LV with a lime green bezel and I was not wearing it much so I added the Hulk and I found the dial beautiful in certain lighting conditions but the super case was a bit much for me so when the 41 subs came out, I got rid of my116 LN, LV and WG subs and added the 126 lv and wg subs. I really prefer the thinner lugs and the wider bracelet. I started with the MKI LV but the manager at my AD wanted to buy it and promised me another so I sold it. I now have the MKII and love it. I do miss looking at the dial of the Hulk but otherwise I feel content. Get what you like best as the opinions here vary due to varying taste. Ultimately, it is what you prefer but you may change your mind later as some of have done.
