My new Hulk on Everest Rubber

Hi All,

Thought I share some pictures of my new (well not new, this is my second hulk!) 2012 model purchased from Robinson Jewellers in Leicester. Shout out goes to Adam who runs the shop there, his service was first class and he threw in a refurb free and gave me a good deal on the watch.

I decided to get another SS given how the grey market is at the moment, hopefully will be a good investment.

It arrived straight to me detached from the bracelet as I have no intention of wearing it on bracelet. It's summer ready on an Everest Rubber Strap using OEM glidelock clasp which cannot be beaten and will easy switchup when it gets really hot.

I love both products but have to be honest in saying not together.

I've been thinking of doing the same but I find it makes the maxi case look even bulkier.

Hey yeah I did - it's a very easy process. Just make sure you tape the lugs to prevent any scratching. You also do need a lot of patience. I am use to changing straps and really have learnt the hardway in the past. But once you know what you are doing - should take no longer then 10 minutes. Some good tools do help as well.

Thanks all for the comments!

I really like it, although if I'm honest I like all Rolex on bracelets best. Would look great on hols by a pool etc.

I tried the hulk on again today. I have all black watches currently, and think I am being infected with the hulk disease. The only thing that is stopping me is that my wife hates it!

I thought that until I saw the RG Yachtmaster on rubber and thought wow I really want that look! Then Rolex go and release some more with this year's Daytona's and then thought it really is a nice change up. Bracelets aren't going anywhere.
