I have a love-hate relationship with this watch...

Sometimes I love it, sometimes I question what I was thinking when I bought it. One thing’s for sure, it’s got a life of it’s own man!

I still love mine, don't think I've hated a watch I've bought, just fallen into indifference.

It's a great watch.

Some would even say sublime.

It’s the bezel under certain lighting mate... I guess hate was a strong word nonetheless!

I guess part of its appeal is how it looks so different depending on the light.

Changing the green bezel to a black bezel is an option for those “not in love” days.

It makes the perfect rotation watch. Wear on the days you love it. Leave it on the days you’re not feeling it.

If you want to feel better about the purchase. Walk into a Rolex dealers showroom with watch showing. Just happened to me. 4-5 folks asked me about the watch. One fellow tried to buy it “off me” right there in the Rolex dealers building. One of the sales people told me the have a 1.5yr waiting list. 4 people come in a day asking for the watch. Don’t sell you’ll regret it.

Same here. Loved it for quite some time, and it does sing in certain low-light situations IMO... But in the end, I sold it. Picked up a BLNR which, although now gone, suited me better for regular wear without growing tired of it.

Well one thing is for sure, if you paid MSRP for it, you will not lose a dime selling it

Not for me, I really like it more than my blue and black bezels.

I have always thought it would go the way of sea foam green kitchens, but I have been wrong before.

it's the best watch I ever bought, I have three other Rolex's, an Explorer 2, DJ 2 41mm, YM blue dial, the hulk is the best purchase I ever made out of them all.

I have a love and wrist monopoly problem with the LVc. I have to force myself to wear my other watches in my collection. I get too comfortable with the Hulk and find the style, size, and function easy to wear every day in any situation. After awhile I feel guilty not wearing my other watches.
