New 126610LV aka “Starbucks”. A bit of green is back
It’s been a few years since I sold my Hulk. I loved that watch except it just was a bit too much green for me over time. Many of us owned the now popular Hulk watch before it was noticed by the world and came to a similar personal style conclusion. I purchased a 126610LC (Black Sub) this summer and as much as I loved that watch, I was missing that green “pop” of color. You all can see where this is going….
 So I made a switch and moved out my 126610LC for a new Sub41LV. It’s brutal weather here in the North East so I will take you through my unboxing procedure with limited outside pics.   A rare sunny cold day had FedEx on time delivering my new Sub41LV. No drama this time like my soaking wet SS Daytona arrived. Package was pristine and wrapped extremely well from our trusted seller and friend Thanh Takuya.   So when I receive a new watch I have to go over everything and take some pics for my jewelry insurance policy. Full Box set with even some lingering stickers.  Some quick documentation pics before I resize the watch.  Resizing a new watch for me is a enjoyment as I get to really go over the watch. A good screwdriver is a must regardless if it’s a oyster or jubilee bracelet as they use different size screw pins. The oyster bracelet pins are thicker and will accommodate a Panerai screw driver. I highly recommend this Rolex specific screwdriver for both Oyster/Jubilee bracelet. (Horofix Generic Rolex® 2100 Type Bracelet Adjusting Tool Multi-purpose bracelet tool Compact size, 3" length Reversible blades: straight "T" style are 1.7mm and 1.3mm, 1.0mm fork and .90mm point tip Premium quality aluminum body Steel tips. )  I take pics of the gasket with crown unscrewed and all angles of the watch including the serial number and laser etched crown. I even had the privilege to remove a few missed stickers.   My thoughts on the new Sub41LV is that it came at a perfect time with the new case design making it a direct modern lineage to the original 50th anniversary LV. I feel the Hulk was its own watch with its sunburst green dial. My personal Sub41LV feelings is the contrast between the gloss black dial and green bezel is stunning and very dramatic. It adds a touch a green without totally Hulking out multiple shades of green all the time. The bezel goes from bright green to dark hunter green but always contrasting and complementing the gloss black dial. This certainly doesn’t take anything away from the Hulk as it’s a different animal and comparing the two is Apple vs Oranges. The 126610LV lives up to the LV legendary family tree.  I do notice the few pictures I did take, brought back fond memories of my Hulk and how hard it is to capture the shade of green as it’s constantly shifting with the lighting.

Congrats. I have one. I noticed that it wears flat on the wrist, which I'm not thrilled about.
