The HULK is a great reference.
The wider lugs are part of its charm as they are on the older sub, and besides Hulk had a wide frame himself, so why not? |

I don’t think you would be disappointed with either .. I would lean towards VTNR simply because a GMT offers more in my opinion, but the Hulk is such a lovely looking watch that green dial just pops !

A Submariner is perfect for an everyday watch. Even in green.
I dailyed one for over 3 years and never tired of the color. |

I had hulk a while ago, and never really connected with it. I think it looks very nice when you see it on other people's wrist due to how to light plays with it. But I never felt I got that nice green colour when I looked at my wrist.
On the contrary, i really like the 126610LV. I have the MK2 and it is really nice to look at on your wrist. |

The Hulk is a superb watch, you can't go wrong with it. The gree dial is enough beauty for me.

Hulk is a unique Rolex model is every way, has to be part of any collection period. The nickname is special too.

That would be a tough choice for me. My one and done Rolex would, if I really had to make that decision, would be the 126710BLRO on Jubilee, but I'd find a way of sliding a Hulk in to join it. If I was starting from zero I'd be looking at 116610s now, before they get any older and while their value is much cooler than two years ago.

Why not? If you love green the LVC is the perfect one and done watch IMHO

I had the green dail LVC and loved it but after a while it kinda felt outdated to me and i think that was because of the very big case and the green dail and bezel. I would go for the VTNR.

For some reason, I would imagine twisting my neck whenever I see a Sprite
I would vote for Hulk this time |

I’d suggest less green. Get a Kermit, or a Cermit, or a Starbucks, or whatever the heck they are calling the black dial with green ceramic bezel Submariner, instead! Personally, unlettered you are a lefty, and going to wear the Sprite on your right wrist, avoid that one. Too gimmicky!

I have the Hulk and the current LV with black dial. I love having the Hulk, and won't get rid of it, but the new one is awesome. I daily it. It is just enough different that those that know, know.

I bought a Hulk about 5-6 years ago, sold it a couple years later and just recently purchased another. Realized it was a mistake and is easily one of my favorite references.

I have owned all versions of the LV. The 116 LV has the most unique dial of any submariner and it beautiful but it is a lot of green. I ended up letting her go along with my Smurf, and LN as I grew to not like the thicker lugs on the super case. I ended up getting the 41 LV MK1 but sold it to the manager of my AD so he was able to get me the MKII LV and I really prefer the newer green bezel. The thinner lugs are the best and love the thicker bracelet.

The Hulk is an absolute beauty but never as a daily bc it’s just too green. I own one and it’s lucky to see the wrist once every 3 weeks. Also i dislike it with dress clothes

Sprite just looks squiffy unless you’re wearing on your right wrist.

Notice that most people write about Hulk here, and few people mention 126610LV. There is some logic in this, because Hulk is a true legend and icon of the brand, and Starbucks is an ordinary Submariner with a colorful frame.

Neither for me. Can't unsee a left-handed watch. The Sub is too much green. Go 41mm Submariner Date for everyday or, better yet, polar ExplorerII--love my GMTs!
