question for hulk owners

a few weeks back, someone had posted a youtube video w/ baselworld predictions, and at the time I took the attached screenshot (I'll keep trying to find the video so I can appropriately credit them). the look of this two tone hulk mock-up really stood out to me.

out of curiosity, have any current hulk owners put tried pairing it w/ a two tone bracelet?

I wouldn't wear that if someone paid me to and I can't imagine Rolex would make something so garish. If you like it, that's all that matters though.

Garish? From Rolex??

Not that I don't like the watches below, but to say that a two-tone Hulk is garish (and wouldn't be produced by the Crown) is absurd.

I’ve seen a couple renderings of an all YG Hulk and it looked amazing. I’d buy it.

Those models are in a different stratosphere. What you posted is an example of money doesn't buy taste. That said, garish may have been the wrong adjective - but something about the colors just don't work for me.

Solid gold Hulk would look awesome but don’t like the two toned look. Personally I only like two toned with black.

I personally not into two tones, had plenty of options to purchase different two tones at retail refused every offer, either full steel or full gold.

Not sure if you've seen the mock-up of the all gold Hulk, but as a current Hulk owner - this is the one that I would give it up for.

Ok I'm with you on that and I don't really like gold. I'd be in line for that model.

Green and yellow is so so wrong and ugly. Add in a two tone and it’s just a mess.

To be honest green and gold are not really colors that match.

The legendary combo is Blue and Gold. THAT is the combo that has lasted since ancient egypt times. (i.e) Bluesy

BUT....in saying that the green and gold aint that ugly. Its ok.

Green and gold are the Rolex logo colors, so why not?

I would probably pick up an all yg hulk along with the TT hulk to go with current SS hulk.

I like the look of the mock up full yellow gold green dial and bezel, but not the TT, it looks too garish.

I have a TT GMT with black dial and bezel, which I think still looks classy.

SS or YG Hulk are strong. The TT does not work as well for me.

Green and gold/yellow are tried and tested combos, esp in the Southern Hemisphere, so would make sense.

If a two-tone variant is released, it'll definitely be a no-go...definitely something I can see sitting in the display with little demand. A full gold one would be more desirable I'd imagine.

Not that but I wouldn’t be surprised if in 2020 we had a new case and movement. The currently LVC was retired and in its place was a yellow gold green dial sub

I feel like coloured dials are being put on PM more
