The dial is magic!

16710 and 16610 have the same bracelet/clasp.

I own both the Hulk and Kermit. The black dial of the Kermit allows me to wear it more often with various colors of clothing. The Hulk has to be planned or coincide with what I’m wearing (it’s a lot of green).

I sourced the glidelock for my Kermit, because I like the adjustable clasp.

I would take a Hulk at retail over the current market prices of the Kermit. But.... if I were holding both in hand and had to choose regardless of price, it literally would be a coon toss.

Once the Hulk goes away, the prices will be obscene.

If you’re young, buy the hulk at MSRP and let it become collectablenwhen finally discontinued eventually in the future. If you’re on the older side, buy whichever one makes you smile when you look at it.

Hulk, he is a way cooler fictional character.
The 16610LV would be my choice if you are talking about a watch.

Either way you’re going green so it’s your call whether the 5 or 6 digit suits you best. Try them both and make the call. If you’re going to wear it, just buy it and don’t wait, life is short!

Kermit. It’s a classic. While I do like the Hulk dial and prefer the ceramic bezel for durability, the extra chunky case and lugs just kill the look for me. But that’s only my opinion. It’s good to have choices!

Curious to get the forum’s thoughts. So what do you think - Hulk or Kermit - and why?
as far as wearing i would get a Hulk. I probably prefer the Harrods BB to a kermit

for collectibility, i would change my answer.

Plus you can swap the green aluminum insert for a black and have an under the radar LV.
Good luck
This is how I would do it.

Never could bond with the 16610LV. Something about the black dial with an all green bezel. Now, the 116610LV, totally different story. Bought in 2010, has been in the collection since

Own the hulk and tried Kermit in vintage watch store. Tbh, like the green on hulk more. Plus the clasp on Kermit is... not as solid as hulk.

When I saw the first press releases of the Hulk I was not impressed. Then seeing it in the flesh,at a Rolex event, I was blown away. No photo can catch the way sun light dances on the face of a Hulk. Once seen in really life your lost!
My wife bought me one as a surprise 50th. (She is a keeper!)

I would have thought the Hulk vote would be much higher than it is in this thread.
