I have the Hulk which I purchased new earlier this year and an Explorer II black dial (ref 16570) which I purchased last year. The Explorer II I use mostly as a watch for traveling given the GMT complication, while the Hulk is a daily wearer. Even though green rarely goes with any outfit, I love the way the sunburst dial changes color between green, black, and all the shades in between.
I acquired the Explorer II after searching for about a month and by chance walking into an AD and seeing one in the pre owned case. I tried it on and the rest is history! The Hulk came after about 6 months of getting to know another AD through casual conversations about Rolex and watch collecting in general. Every so often I would stop by the AD and chat up the owner, asking questions about various watches and showing a strong interest in Rolex. After building up a personal connection with the owner of the AD, I expressed a strong desire for the Hulk. Only a month later I got the call one night while I was working late and leapt out of my chair at the news. Needless to say, I’ve been enjoying the Hulk ever since!

No need to apologize. Those are 2 great watches, wear them in good health. A common reply on here is pics or it didn't happen. Post a wrist shot when you get a chance so we can all enjoy. We have have to be overly cautious when planning these things because we are putting a lot of people together each wearing several $1000k on their wrists and don't want to create any problems. Most of the people inquiring about the gtg have been on the forum a while and have a good number of posts.
