Hulk is still my favorite after seeing the three side by side. I am biased though as the Hulk still has the most wrist time for me.

I asked my AD to put my name on this list for the new 126610LV, which I won't hold my breath for.

But looking at this comparison photo, I'm glad that I still have my original LV. I think the original LV is the perfect symmetry.

Black dial and green bezel is great on the new LV, less gaudy compared to the hulk but dang those bracelet are huge.

Also the Blue WG sub looks atrocious. RIP to the smurf, the perfect blue watch.

Cause there is nothing there to see. Not everyone likes sea of boring black painted dials. There's plenty of that in other Rolex models including my Batman. However, I do like the new casing.

Don’t people that didn’t like the thickness of the maxi case dislike the new bracelet for the same reason? It reminds me of a cankle.

The lugs look almost the same size as the original Kermit. That’s an awesome thing!

Wow! The new LV looks great!
The more I see it the more I want!

Lug difference looks very noticeable in that video, and I don't care what people say about the wider bracelet, but I'd take that trade off for those slimmer lugs any day of the week!

The more I see them side by side the more I fall in love with the new design.
Love how fluid the transition from case to bracelet has become, similar to the SD43 design. Great work by Rolex.

I was hoping for the black dial green bezel LV this year along with a Black/Red release of the GMT. But that would require one of the current BLNR or BLRO to be discontinued.

I am glad they got the LV out. Now it’s a waiting game...again.

+2 my thoughts exactly on the new Kermit vs the hulk. Looking forward to hopefully seeing it in person someday.

I really like the dimensions of the new case. I wonder whether a Hulk dial would fit in it.....?

Dial does it all...




What is the point of having just a bezel in green rather than black ?!

Thanks! Although I’m bummed because I didn’t like the old dial.

Did it look better with the black dial? The previous LV had an amazing dial but I couldn’t get over how that bezel looked against it.

Three great watches. For now I will stick with the Hulk until I can see the new Submariners in person.

Im heading to my AD today to seek out a new Kermit,I like it over the over valued/Hyped Hulk....The only mistake Rolex did was not offer a Blue/Black combo.

So we have different tastes and perceptions.
it is thus the opposite for me. I regret that there is no more sunburst dial. That was all the magic of the watch compared to the black version.

Now I saw no charm, specialty or interest in it. Just the green bezel which seems to be added.

I ordered the two-tone version 126613LB to diversify my collection, keeping my Hulk...
