Rolex Green Submariner: Kermit vs Hulk vs Starbucks | SwissWatchExpo | Taking Time

The starbucks? 🤣😂

Never heard serif pronounced that way.

16610lv 2010 with rehaut.

Hulk. They won't be doing it again.

I love your show. I want to ask you what does SWE do when it takes a watch In-house to make sure the watch meets Rolex’s specifications?

New kermit or starbucks! Iove the original kermit but the fit and finish of a modern rolex is topnotch.

Hulk is the best of all

Without doubt pick The Kermit, whether flat 4 or not... Only 7 years production and it's the real anniversary piece

If you type in Kermit in the search on the Rolex website the 126610LV comes up. And if you type Starbucks nothing comes up. So not sure why Starbucks is used as a nickname. Plus the Pepsi has never changed nickname in 50 years so not sure why the Kermit would.

Hulk is the one.

Starbucks or Hulk for sure!

For me the Kermit has my vote, because it is the 50th anniv model(relatively short prod. 2003~2010), first submariner to receive a green bezel ever, and we can call it a "transitional model" too. Let me explain, it is the 1st and only submariner at the time, ref 16610 to receive a maxi dial, fatter hands, and engraved Rehault "ROLEX"with serial in the rehault instead of the case for the 2007~2010 production, and all these up-grades will lay the path for its successor the ref-116610. I love the fact it still has super luminova green lume, as it match the green bezel, newer models all use chroma light blue lume....It is in essence the "transition" from old-school/neo vintage to Modern Rolex, from aluminum bezel to the world of ceramic bezel. Of course, there is no doubt that the ceramic is superior in many ways with it's up-dated glidelock clasp, cerachrome bezel, chroma light blue lume, but the Kermit has this enormous historical significance of been both the 50th anniv watch and a "transitional model". My 2 favorite Kermit, the 2003 serial Y or M "flat 4" of course, or the later version with engraved rehault as it is the "link-transition" between vintage vs modern and only made for 3 short years. Let say that what makes me love this watch is the emotional connection/historical background, more than the tech/performance aspects. In the other hand the rescently discontinued HULK 116610LV is also very special in its own right: In 2010 Rolex decided to use the same case as the new 2008 GMT model for the new submariner as fashion for big watch was in full swing, and Rolex opted to keep the size at 40mm but enlarged the lugs to give that "bigger feeling" to the watch using the Maxi-case, but the hulk also received this very special dial in Sunray green, that goes into 50 shades of green to even black. If you are a diver and you ever wonder in the shallow depth of the ocean when the Sunray pierce the shallow of the ocean, you know what that dial evokes... Not to mention that this particular green is the ROLEX official green, and only 2 other models received such green color bezel aside the HULK. 1) the 50th anniv. GMT in full yellow gold/green dial, and the Yellow gold Daytona/green dial, and both these models are in precious metal and fetching very high premium. The HULK is the only stainless steel watch with such dial/and now discontinued, no wonder it is sky rocketing in the grey market. Many people speculate that price will calm down, but I think this watch has sailed... It is a submariner, and therefore has a huge "fan base", I think this watch will forever mean something to Rolex-submariners lovers. It is not so much my cup of tea, but I can understand it. It's maxi case and green dial/bezel makes it a classic of the 2010's era,.. As for the latest, 126610LV, this is a watch I would love to own and wear, but it is so difficult to obtain, and I just cannot justify the grey market price for it. But it's a beautiful piece, and at MSRP, I would love to own and wear it.

I’ve narrowed it down to the Hulk or the Starbucks. I will probably go for the Hulk as it feels like a better investment (as it’s currently discontinued). They are all beautiful watches. Thanks for the video.

I’ll go with the Hulk because I have one if I get my hands on the Starbucks then I will go with that. This is the fun part of collecting Rolex watches the word enough doesn’t mean anything

my pick will be the starbucks / Cermit

All 3 of them are precious and I got the chance to get my Starbuck 2 months ago during my BD. It’s very Special to get it first hand from a Rolex Dealer Watch.
I’m very Glad to have this pice and for sure it’s Starbuck
Thanks for the video

Passed on the kermit before they got super pricey and just got the Starbucks after a very long wait from my AD and am in love with this watch! I feel the maxi case is a lot more substantial than the lighter kermit.

I own a 07/08 year model Kermit and I love it. The Hulk is too aggressively large and the Starbucks is a copycat.

The Starbucks for sure.

Hulk is a bling watch... so it's either Starbucks or Kermit. Depends on your wrist size and preference.

I think the pronunciation here must bring tears to the eyes of French speakers. To English speakers in Canada and the UK and many other Anglophone countries who are exposed to the French language on a regular basis, the pronunciation sounds weirdly ignorant to many of us.
