I had the 114060, then the SubC and now have the Hulk. I love the black and may get another one day(114060) but I absolutely LOVE my Hulk. Its not my only Rolex though. I have the 116613LB sunburst and the Explorer(39mm).

Black = timeless

Remember thinking how good the orange Omega looked a few years ago. Now it's a different story.

AK797 · 24 March 2015, 05:39 AM

Saw the Hulk on an AD's wrist the other day and it was sunbursting like crazy, made him take it off so I could try it amidst all the gold Pateks we were looking at

Would be my choice, esp if you live anywhere that gets a bit of sun.

Oh, I still love that orange on the PO, thought I would tire of it too but nope always makes me smile.

Robbyman · 24 March 2015, 05:41 AM

Black all the way

EduBr · 24 March 2015, 05:59 AM

Black !

doc.kool · 24 March 2015, 08:15 AM

Both are great, but to me there is something special about Rolex green. Having said that, I am surprised to see that this vote is so close. I was expecting the black to be more popualr

jfitzoz · 17 January 2017, 11:58 AM

How much for the black Rolex?

yunach · 17 January 2017, 12:00 PM

Another vote for the green.

I voted green - it is an awesome watch and I'm on the hunt to re-purchase one now that funds allow a small collection :)

Thurnau · 17 January 2017, 03:50 PM

Only one way out of your dilemma.

YOU MUST BUY BOTH!

daytonaTBR · 17 January 2017, 03:52 PM

I've had both at one point and eventually sold them both, but I am more fond of the hulk as the bezel/dial combo is truly spectacular in sunlight.

gfarina · 17 January 2017, 04:01 PM

Can't go wrong with either one!

Much prefer the green and for me not even close. Now make it a Submariner 114060 and that would be tough!

donut · 17 January 2017, 09:10 PM

I'd choose green first. Later, If still want sub c, go for sub c no date.

I second that.

watchnut73 · 17 January 2017, 09:19 PM

Black As part of 2 watch collection.

The green dial/green bezel is a great piece to own, but I feel add it as part of an on going Collection.

I owned the green when first released, but flipped last year as it wasn't getting much wear, but now it's gone I do miss it.

Black is a true classic

Cerachrom12 · 18 January 2017, 01:35 AM

Black is boring. Green is gorgeous!

daloon · 18 January 2017, 02:13 AM

Go Hulk first Then add Sub no date.

I voted 'black', but to be honest it was a close call. Many years ago when I knew little about Rolex I would have been a certain 'black', however the more I understand the product the more I quite fancy owning the 'Hulk'...
Ask again in a few months (when I've actually seen one), then I might vote 'green'!

rollee1 · 19 January 2017, 04:31 PM

Black is the classic Rolex that is an icon, it is also versatile and great with a rubber strap for summer comfort.

Unless you are starting a collection with a least 3 pieces, then I can suggest the hulk 116610LV, which btw is not the 50th anniversary Kermit model 16610LV.

Just a thought, why would anyone pay a premium for the LV green bezel and then put a black bezel in so it looks like any other regular black bezel sub?

makes no sense

Most people go the opposite route, buy a basic black sub and put in a green bezel to try and pass it off as the more desirable LV version.

Just sayin'...

Gaijin · 19 January 2017, 05:14 PM

La-de-da-de-everybody has the black. Great reference but go for the green. It pops! The dial alternates to appear black in certain lighting too.

That bezel and dial are gorgeous.

Here is a great answer unless you are set on ceramic and want the new bracelet.

The 16610 LV is gorgeous, discontinued and is a classic. Get it while it's hot but not before it becomes too hard to source a good example.
