Icon6 cheap vs luxury ...
I sold all my "decent" watches and bought 1 real watch.. the no date sub, 114060. I recently sold my no date and bought the HULK While I wait for it to arrive (two more days) I've had to wear another watch, and what I can tell you is NOTHING wears like a Rolex. I just hope the HULK is as amazing as it looks in the photos. I bought it without ever actually seeing one in person.

The hulk definately screams, " I AM A ROLEX." and I think it is a beautiful watch. Hope you enjoy it and wear it well!

Welcome aboard.

Personally I'd never buy a watch from pictures only, but in this case you should be able to flip quickly in the event it's not for you.

I have yet to see a photo that really shows how dazzling the Hulk dial is in sunlight. If you are in love with a photo of the watch you will be beside yourself when it arrives.

Congratulations on the "Hulk."

I just put my "luxury" watches away for awhile while I rotate through my "cheap" watches.

I do know what you mean about the feel one gets when wearing a really fine watch, but I get a thrill going through my lesser watches, too.

I ogle this one and others as much as I do any Rolex I own, maybe more since I wear it less.

The picture doesn't reveal the dials pearlescence.

I just made this change, you will not be disappointed

It does wear different to the SubC, I think it wears larger and a bit heavier but it may be an illusion, it is however just perfection

You got to feel better about the LVc. The color green is a sign of prosperity, balance, peace, rejuvenation, health, intelligence and life.

I picked it up from Bob's Watches... I dealt with them on the purchase of the 114060, and they happen to have a Hulk listed so I didn't even think twice about dealing with them again. They've been great to deal with.
