IMO black bezels should only go on Subs with black dials like this

The green bezels and dials are both amazing and each look great on the LVs

Thanks for all the responses! I think the black bezel would look all right, but if I ever buy the Hulk, it will remain original. The dial is amazing, and none of the pics I've seen do it justice. The short vid with the moving wrist comes close to showing all it's colors; from black to magic green, but this is one piece that needs to be seen in person.

It's on my list.......

Liked it when I first saw it a long time ago but the more you look at it the more you realize it's a hideous abomination.

I had a 116610ln with a hulk bezel installed. I never wore it. Then I sold it. I say either hulk, or LN not a hybrid.

Black bezel Hulk

Found these on the internet - I saved the pictures but can't for the life of me find the link again! It's a dude who bought both and swapped them over. Personally I love the green dial / black bezel combo.

Any hulk owners want to switch bezels with my SubC LN lol?

Bottom one looks good, that's how they should have done the LVc.

The Sub LN and LV look just fine as they are.

I don't think I've EVER liked the look of an all black bezel with a non- black dial on a watch. Hard to articulate but IMO, it looks a combination of cheap and ubiquitous.

I think these look fantastic. Anyone know if it's an easy, straight, swap?

Despite the negative comments I'd bet that if Rolex released them like this from the factory that people would be singing their praises.

I believe that the easiest way is to put a black dial in an LV. Changing Cerachrom is difficult.

If you don't like the bezel, the watch is not for you.

Now everyone hates it but once it comes out and nobody can buy it due to a (on purpose) limited supply, people keep trowing money at greys for prices way above RSP.

Btw, I really like the blue bezel on a black dial!

Maybe I’m just used to it, maybe I’m just biased... maybe I’m just obsessing over the Hulk.

But I think both those “half Hulks” black dial / green ceramic and green sunburst/black ceramic just don’t even hold a candle to the big green giant.

This is exactly what I wished my LV's bezel looked like or at least had the option of changeable bezels.

To each their own.

Black bezel sounds like a good idea but i'd actually let the green bezel stay. A HULK should be a HULK

That's what I was thinking when I started getting quoted ...

I did like the Black dial and Green bezel though however, I agree with you, keep it original!
