Starbucks or Hulk ? and why?

[jwill]

Which one would you guys tend to go after more?

[dpt.calvin]

No.

[Wobbly]

The 116610LV has a stunning dial, the other doesn’t.

[Bxtek]

Hulk for me. Love that green sunburst dial!

[Fanny Bay R1]

I have a Hulk but honestly think the Cermit or Starbucks is a nicer looking watch as I find the Hulk too blingy and wear it by far the least of all my subs.

Just as an aside I’d rather buy a GO Panomaticlunar with the green dial over the Starbucks to be honest.

[Moondoggy]

Hulk any day the dial in the sun is stunning.

It depends ... I had two Hulks and loved them both. Now have the new 12Kermit and love it very much.

Hulk - since green is in (always was for me, my favorite color), you can't get more green than the bezel and sunburst dial ... makes this watch special. Honestly, I see this one going through the roof in value in coming years.

12Kermit - still has the green accent bezel, but toned down by the black dial, which you could say is lazy on Rolex, but might appeal to more people that full on green. I really do like the new 41mm proportions, especially the wider bracelet and tapered lugs ... feels very modern and sturdy while providing 5 digit sub shape / integration.

Both are extremely well made with very useful Glidelock clasps.

If I had to choose one to live with day in and day out, it would be the 12Kermit. If I could only have one stickered up safe queen as an investment, I'd choose Hulk for sure, but if its preowned, I would wear the heck out of the Hulk and love it as I have in the past.

[rambo99]

the hulk, because it got both the black and green dial depending on the angle you see it.

[eijiboy]

kermit for me. Used to have a hulk but never a fan of too green. Kermit bezel really pops with black dial.

Never liked 116, 126 ftw

I always liked the original 50th anniversary 16610LV compared to the 116610LV.

As much as I like green, I don’t like the sunburst green dial on the 116610LV. Which is odd because I usually prefer more striking colors on a watch. I also like the proportions of the 126610 a little better than the older model but it’s such a minor difference.

So naturally I prefer the 126610LV as it’s a modern variant. Just trying to convince myself not to get one because I already have a GMT and don’t really need another similar looking watch in the collection.

[Ichiran]

12. More balanced proportions.

[OrangeSport]

I don’t like the Hulk, so the other one for me

[Momentumwheel]

In my opinion, the Starbucks is superior in nearly every way. The main advantage of the Hulk is the green dial, but this does not match the bezel. Meanwhile, the Starbucks has a superior case profile, movement, and crystal with anti-reflective coating.

I guess it all depends on what people really value but to me the advantages of the Starbucks outweigh the Hulk.

[Potawatomi]

The green goblin is by far the better choice

[Nairn1980]

Hulk is just a bit more special.
The dial is sublime.

[Cru Jones]

The 126610LV is “just” a black Sub Date with a green bezel insert.

The 116610LV is the special one with the dial. Oh, and the dial is gorgeous.

Either way, nice watches.

[Pinchy]

I originally thought the starbucks was more versatile with the black dial. But the reality is the dial of the hulk in indoor lighting tends towards black and is so much fun to look at in different lighting, this really isn't a competition, they are both incredible, but the hulk dial is undoubtedly the best dial in my entire collection.

[harvey]

Although the new reference has the svelte case and bracelet, the Hulk has the captivating dial.

[Manamana]

Hulk, because a sunburst green dial, and green ceramic bezel Submariner will always be special in the Rolex historical lineup. The sunburst green dial looks black, or dark green most of the time indoors, and when you step outside in the sun you see the beautiful sunburst green dial.

[Schweinwerfer]

Hulk. It's an easy decision!

Exactly this. Perfectly put.

[q8rolex]

hulk because of the dial. lovely.

[Uggi]

One is a special timepiece, one isn’t.
Hence - Hulk.

[Watchlover4789]

I’ll pick hulk all day cus I owned 1, nv a fan of Starbucks as I thought there’s nothing really special about it, but I have to be honest recently I have the chance to handle and try on one Starbucks on hand and I got to say both are equally awesome! I’ve totally changed my perspective of it. I think the slimmer lugs really change the watch

[DoricSpiker]

Starbucks. This is because when both were launched, one was in demand the other wasn’t! Remember the cases full of hulks people, it’s too green! Instagram has convinced you it isn’t.

116610LV all day every day. You can’t beat the sunburst green dial. Besides, I have enough black dial watches.

When the Hulk was launched, pretty much everything, sans SS Daytona, was sitting in every AD case.

When the Starbucks was launched, even ladies DJ’s were in demand.

Different times.

Absolutely true. You couldn’t give the LVc away back then. The popular opinion was why would anyone want a green Submainer?? Then the BLNR came on the scene and most went that way.

I bought mine at a discount. It’s a very cool watch but I found the green overpowering over time. It’s a lot of green but if that’s your thing going in, you will love it.
