Hey I got offered this new Kermit at the AD and couldn’t make the trip because of work :( I told them skip me on the list and call me for the next one. what are the odds they call me for the next one. I guess I’m a vip at this ad
This is not a personal dig at anyone who owns a Hulk, but even if I had the $ - which I don't - I wouldn't pay retail for it. It's just a not for me. I find it too gregarious, too flashy. I just happen to prefer something a little more discrete. 🤷♂️
@@anthonysmith2982 There’s nothing wrong with that. We don’t all have to like the same thing. I agree with you, btw, re the green. I like the OG Kermit best of the 3. My personal favorite green is the Harrrods Tudor.
@@owenmccord5078 I'm exactly the same! Infact I just went back and re-watched the Adrians vid on the Harrods Tudor. That's the one that I would still own, if I was fortunate enough to be in position to choose. I happen to be more drawn to Tudor as a brand also. Part of my preference for the understated I think, and I just happen to prefer the brands design language. I'm a fan of the Ranger and Pelegos (in black) too.
@@anthonysmith2982 Got on the list 2 days after he released his first Harrod’s Black Bay video. Unfortunately all of my peeps who were usually in/around London were back in the states when I got the call in July (pandemic and whatnot.) The consolation prize is that a content creator I follow ended up with it. Silver linings I guess.
Got to be the hulk for me. I love a quirky dial, wether it’s colour, sunburst, meteorite or enamel. Bought mine back in 2014 when nobody wanted one, mainly because it was green. Healthy discount too. As long as you stay true to your tastes you won’t go wrong.
Absolutely agree on the analysis. People hyped up Hulk too much, I personally never thought it as much classy as the Kermits. The new Kermit (Or the Starbucks, I think it is more accurate to describe the color) is the most beautiful of them all, and to complement that with the upgraded movement, it's a clear winner.
I think the old kermit is nicer, but given the choice between gray market price for the old one and retail for the new one… i ordered the new one, when it was released. Still waiting for it😃
Original, is the original. Gotta respect the history and what it represents BUT Hulk is the better looking watch out of the three. My opinion of course. Used to own Kermit too.
They are going for that price because of mere hype. Rolex is probably the best at marketing. Compared to other watches Rolex falls short in almost every aspect.
The Hulk is my pick and the most interesting by far as Rolex is usually seen as conservative. Most people who know Rolex but don't know much about watches can't believe my Hulk is a real rolex. Also I love how the dial changes in the light while black is just...black. It can go from bright green to grey to black depending on lighting scenarios and I actually find it plenty versatile. I can proudly say I loved it before it was hyped...unfortunately couldn't buy it until the hype was quite a bit higher, but still extremely happy with it. Was between that and the batman. Would also love a batman someday
You have such conservative taste in watches, you could predict this outcome before the vid was made. I love the Hulk myself, the new Kermit is a Hulk with the thing that made it special taken away. To each their own of course!
@@Schittybill the new case shape is no doubt better. The lugs looks much better. It’s just a bit dull IMO. I really like the no date and the two tone bluesy of the new ones. They stand out to me. The smurf and the hulk were much more exciting than “everything’s a black dial.”
I have a hulk and wouldn’t want the other two. I wear it almost everyday and fits fine with any outfit or occasion. I love the super case too, and prefer the bracelet over the delicate bracelet of the Kermit, and the proportions over the slimmer lugs and wider bracelet of the new Kermit.
I had the feeling his view was influenced because he had the original Kermit. I also think he did not like the maxi case because he has a smaller wrist. I’ll stick with my Hulk. Maybe be my point of view is clouded also🤷♂️
@@allainbourque I’m sure his influence was because of what he owns. Funny but I never liked the Kermit. The bracelet sucks. And the green on it is more lime colored...a yellowish green. It isn’t a pleasant shade to my eye anyways.
Please remember that when the maxi case first came out most said it suited the "tool" watch persona that the watch portrayed. Now everyone has suddenly decided that we like delicate lines once again. People are so fickle.
@@cirrusmckinney It's hilarious. I'm honestly offended at the "maxi hate" that's emerged since September 1, 2020. Months ago these same people were offering us 2x retail for our watches lol. If I wanted small lugs, I'd wear a Day-Date. The new Sub is, quite frankly, a disaster. It's a maxi case hack job that would've garnered the same response now had *it* come out in 2010. Big lugs are for tool watches. Rugged look, protection, and lots of polish potential.
@@techroam it honestly is a brilliant watch. I bought it because I thought it was cool, but it genuinely hasn’t left my wrist. I wore Kermit today because I thought I should, not because I wanted to.
@@BarkandJack Glad to see you're enjoying the seamaster. Even I didn't expect such a positive response to it. Honesty the white seamaster and 36mm explorer is such a killer two piece collection.
This is a very interesting comparison. I've never had these pieces in my hands, so I cannot say which one is my favorite. But to my eyes the old Kermit is the best proportioned of the three.
I agree with your conclusion that the Hulk is not in the same league as the old or new Kermit. In fact, the green dial makes it unique and puts it in a much higher class than the Kermits.
For those (like me) that have no issue with a vibrant green dial, what Rolex did with the hulk's dial is a work of art. I still haven't seen a video that truly captures its beauty.
I think that shade of Green is pretty easy to combine. I can see myself wearing the "New Kermit" as an every day watch. It goes well with all neutral colors I wear (black, white, brown, grey etc.). But I also don't think I would have a problem combining it with blue. Sure, it can look a bit wacky with warmer colors if you do not want to look like a tropical bird. But I am guessing few people wearing these watches are wearing bright orange or pink. And if they do, it would not even clash. You just need the style and personality to pull it off. And people confidently wearing bright orange and pink might just be able to.
Cool comparison video but I totally disagree. I fell in love with the beautiful green gold dial of the Hulk since it came out and bought one. I would like to upgrade to the new movement, but the change in dimensions in combination with the standard black dial just makes it boring in my opinion.
3:31 When turning the crown counter clockwise direction, in a Sub w 3135 movement, the hands should move counter clockwise direction as well and vice versa. Is that different in a 3235?
Hulk > Kermit ..................................... > Cermit. I like the hulk because of the uniqueness. In a world full of black and white dial watches, a green, radiant burst dial is fantastic. If you spend that kind of money on a watch, it should look special. The hulk does. I love the Kermit. I really enjoy vintage looking watches and the kermit fits that bill. Looks great and functions great with a vintage vibe. The Cermit, to me isn't a winner. It's like when a car company re-releases a popular car from their past. It never captures the original feel. To me, it's just a sub with a green bezel and I'd take the classic black in that case any day.
Taste is always tricky and often subjective IMHO. Maybe that’s why we have buyers and sellers or bid & offer in our world of endless products and commodities, etc. One man’s meat is another man’s poison? I had the classic black sub…sold it and bought the Hulk. Still loving it. Fortunately we all have different tastes for things…cannot imagine us all having the same girlfriend, wife, car, house….😱watches.
The Hulk is amazing with the green sunburst dial. I own one and when you wear it on a sunny day OMG. In my opinion I think one of the reasons they discontinued the Hulk is the green sunburst dial is very difficult to manufacture. Great video as always Baz
Not necessary the case. Then bluesy had a sunburst dial and they will be my next watch. I have a feeling Rolex will bring back the Hulk in a couple more years.
Awesome video. It’s weird... I thought the new Kermit was bland but since I got one (retail) I’ve fallen hard for it! 💚 The case and bracelet really changes how it fits on the wrist and the more mature refined black dial with green bezel is also special.
preciousmetals168 thought it was bland based on images online. Never had the chance to hold it in the hand and that’s crucial when buying a watch. I also feel for retail and close to retail the subs are great. For the market value I don’t think they’re so great because price DOES have a factor in liking or disliking something.
@@BarkandJack I got the first one to arrive at the AD ( I wasn't a VIP client, had in fact only bought one watch from them). Didn't like it, too bland as Emkwan says, and I thought I really would.
I have the Hulk but I would pick the new Kermit because of the contrast in color and more ergonomic case/bracelet. The original Kermit’s bezel is a scratch magnet. It shows aluminum silver underneath when scratched. I don’t think it would be pleasing to see with multiple scratches over time.
I agree, I've never liked the aesthetics of the Hulk - I passed on the opportunity to buy one in 2015 and instead opted for the 114060. I never regretted the decision.
In late May I purchased the Starbucks new from my AD caliber 3235 then this week I get a call for the new Kermit V2 May-June 2023 release caLiber 3235 bth new and the same but Kermit V2 has a lighter green ceramic bezel. Lucky me.
1. Hulk 2. OG Kermit 3. New Kermit and if you are looking to buy 1. OG Kermit 2. Hulk 3. New Kermit. OG price has flattened but will start going up again next year same as the OG Pepsi’s have started to go up again, Hulk price will come down slightly but as more of them get snapped up, prices will continue to go up, New Kermit only just released and has at least another 5-7 years of production left, put ur name down at an AD and play the waiting game....
"or maybe you're one of those guys who likes watching videos about nice watches." *pause*. *subscribe* *resume play*. Currently debating kermit v batman. Loving all your content. really well done.
Hulk because it was my first luxury watch and my wife (who knows nothing about watches but neither did I really when I bought it) picked it out because she loved the color and it stood out. That was 2013, and years later it's still my favorite in my collection for sentimental reasons. Who knew it would become a collector's piece? Lucky me.
as an owner of a 114060 sub no date, i have to say the hulk is the more dynamic of these three watches with its stunning green dial. the other two are just subs with green bezels. a YTer named "watch eric" did a video where he replaced the black bezel with a ceramic green one and i realized the kermit is just that......a sub with a green bezel.
While the others are more classy and subtle, I feel that anyone who actually BUYS a hulk is someone who has multiple others in their collection already to wear on a daily basis. For this reason I like the Hulk more the sunburst is awesome to me
Great video as always but watching videos about Rolex is kind of like watching Top Gear when they review a Hyper car that costs £10million, they've only built five and they've all been sold already, good to look at but practically pointless from a consumer point of view.
I don’t get the appeal of a green watch, although they have grown on me a little, but if I got one, it would be the Hulk. The green dial is the best feature of all of them. I’d just get a Harrods Tudor instead of the Kermit. True story, my AD offered me a Hulk at a discount from MSRP in 2014, but I thought “who would want a green watch?” And waited to buy a black sub. Pretty big mistake in hindsight.
hey adrian i’d love it if you could talk about insurance for your watch and if you’re comfortable if any or all of your watches are insured & maybe talk about how to prevent theft or harm to yourself i know about your 5513 and that harrowing story when you lived back in London. thanks
I always loved the hulk. The dial is my favirite part. I wish the dual and bezel matched more exactly, but i like how loud it is. If you want underatated, modest beauty, the black sub is clearly the way to go.
I'm just not a fan of ceramic bezel inserts... The new watches with ceramic inserts will not age well as a whole (the steel will scratch and become dull with age, while the bezel insert will remain overly flashy). Where is the fun in that?
Could you imagine all the Talking Watches interviews without these beautifully worn watches handed down generations. They tell stories, share memories, and take you on adventures. I don't think it would be the same with a pristine watch that doesn't look like it has seen the sun.
The best thing about your Kermit is the scratch on the Aluminium bezel. I'm no frickin' fan of ceramic. When I've owned a watch for 25yrs I want it to age with me - and I'm not talking a perfect crystal, bezel and dial with zero patina and a few scratches and nicks on the case. I want it to patina. If it were up to me it'd be all domed acrylic and aluminium! Hey Adrian, what happened to the 'Harrods green' Black Bay you bought about a year ago? I loved that piece! Sold?
Of the watches here the Hulk most appealed to me. That sunburst dial is gorgeous. Close second was the white dial seamaster. If I owned those two my watch search would be over.
Hello Watch People‼️ Great content Adrian The Rolex Submariner probably is the most iconic Watch in the world, hard to say which one is the nicest 👍🏼 one because those 3 watches are great time pieces, if I have to choose one will be the 50th Anniversary is the classic submariner I think the Maxi dial and the green aluminum bezel make this sub incredible attractive Bruce Boca Raton Fl
Great videos, managed to buy a hulk just before discontinuing the model as a investment to sell on But having owned and worn it I’d have to really have to need to sell it to part with it . The Hulk is a watch that has presence yet is completely comfortable to wear , I love it.
@@impexRQ the used values would suggest you are right. Chrono24; Starbucks average price £12300 Hulk average price £15500 So the Hulk is STILL up near double it's original MSRP.
hi hello i have Rolex Kermit bought it in 2009 and still is the best in my opinion as the case shape is more elegant and suite the bracelet in compatible design .

It is the one and only LV with a beautiful sunburst dial.

There you go.

Hulk is by far the most interesting and dynamic dial. You can keep your boring black dials that never play with the light :)
All fab... but if beauty is anything ... the green on green hulk is sooo gorgeous... face colour is memorizing and changes in different light..
WOW! This was a ballsy vid! I bet many rolex fan boys will rant about you not liking the hulk.
I too do like the “new kermit”
Oh man the Hulk’s green face should be a Pro not a con
by far the best out of those 3

The Hulk is the better looking watch.
Was the Starbucks or the Hulk released for any other anniversary, such as the 60th anniversary ?!
New Kermit is stunning, on another thought, what are your thoughts on the GMT-Master 11’Sprite’
Adrian, you once had the Harrods Tudor BB, if they were to bring out the same green in the 58 with gilt, would you go for it?
What does maxi case with square lugs mean?
When none of them is available at a reasonable price (MSRP), what is the point of asking which one is better?
You forgot to mention the most important difference which is the size. As the size of the Starbucks is 41mm compared to 40mm kermit & hulk

18k we’re you looking i see hulks around 14/16k I also seen numerous cermit for 15,5 / 16k
"or maybe you're one of those guys who likes watching videos about nice watches." *pause*. *subscribe* *resume play*. Currently debating kermit v batman. Loving all your content. really well done.
Thanks a lot James 🙌🏻. I had exactly the same debate with myself. Kermit won for me. But both are great.
We're forgetting one... the Harrods BB!! 🤓
These green expensive watches you cannot buy brought to you by Chronext.
Hulk because it was my first luxury watch and my wife (who knows nothing about watches but neither did I really when I bought it) picked it out because she loved the color and it stood out. That was 2013, and years later it's still my favorite in my collection for sentimental reasons. Who knew it would become a collector's piece? Lucky me.
I’m with you! It’s my first and only Rolex!
Ohhh.. and swimming with the Hulk is the best.. it captures the light above fabulously (if deep irrelevant but shallow amazing..)
Do they have a location in the US?
Any chance of doing a similar review on the Rolex GMT Pepsi ?
as an owner of a 114060 sub no date, i have to say the hulk is the more dynamic of these three watches with its stunning green dial. the other two are just subs with green bezels. a YTer named "watch eric" did a video where he replaced the black bezel with a ceramic green one and i realized the kermit is just that......a sub with a green bezel.
I like the new 41mm where can I get one at MSRP?
While the others are more classy and subtle, I feel that anyone who actually BUYS a hulk is someone who has multiple others in their collection already to wear on a daily basis. For this reason I like the Hulk more the sunburst is awesome to me
can you do a comparison for all the GMT 2 like this video?
Great video as always but watching videos about Rolex is kind of like watching Top Gear when they review a Hyper car that costs £10million, they've only built five and they've all been sold already, good to look at but practically pointless from a consumer point of view.
I don’t get the appeal of a green watch, although they have grown on me a little, but if I got one, it would be the Hulk. The green dial is the best feature of all of them. I’d just get a Harrods Tudor instead of the Kermit.
True story, my AD offered me a Hulk at a discount from MSRP in 2014, but I thought “who would want a green watch?” And waited to buy a black sub. Pretty big mistake in hindsight.
hey adrian i’d love it if you could talk about insurance for your watch and if you’re comfortable if any or all of your watches are insured & maybe talk about how to prevent theft or harm to yourself i know about your 5513 and that harrowing story when you lived back in London. thanks
Thoughts on Bell & Ross BR V92 Green dial model Adrian? Great video.
I always loved the hulk. The dial is my favirite part. I wish the dual and bezel matched more exactly, but i like how loud it is. If you want underatated, modest beauty, the black sub is clearly the way to go.
Not sure if it’s just me but your last couple of videos, the video and audio are out of sync !! Great content tho.
Cermit continues to drop in price... as the Batgirl did
As it should it just a Green bezel I have the Black and I'm thrilled.
I think the Hulk is the best of the bunch!
Same as that
lol
of course it is ! by far the best !
he owns the old stuff.. what would expect him to say
Sold my Hulk for the exact reasons you mentioned.
I'm just not a fan of ceramic bezel inserts... The new watches with ceramic inserts will not age well as a whole (the steel will scratch and become dull with age, while the bezel insert will remain overly flashy). Where is the fun in that?
Could you imagine all the Talking Watches interviews without these beautifully worn watches handed down generations. They tell stories, share memories, and take you on adventures. I don't think it would be the same with a pristine watch that doesn't look like it has seen the sun.
The best thing about your Kermit is the scratch on the Aluminium bezel.
I'm no frickin' fan of ceramic.
When I've owned a watch for 25yrs I want it to age with me - and I'm not talking a perfect crystal, bezel and dial with zero patina and a few scratches and nicks on the case.
I want it to patina.
If it were up to me it'd be all domed acrylic and aluminium!
Hey Adrian, what happened to the 'Harrods green' Black Bay you bought about a year ago? I loved that piece!
Sold?
Green just happens to be my favorite color, if I purchase the green dial Omega Aqua Terra.
Love that green Aqua Terra!
Of the watches here the Hulk most appealed to me. That sunburst dial is gorgeous. Close second was the white dial seamaster. If I owned those two my watch search would be over.
You ought to do this same video with your seamaster 300, the flat dial ceramic, and the OG bond 2531.80.
Hello Watch People‼️
Great content Adrian The Rolex Submariner probably is the most iconic Watch in the world, hard to say which one is the nicest 👍🏼 one because those 3 watches are great time pieces, if I have to choose one will be the 50th Anniversary is the classic submariner I think the Maxi dial and the green aluminum bezel make this sub incredible attractive

Great video thank you Adrian, this video helped me to buy my first Rolex. Bought the new kermit though at the end and love it so much 😍
Great videos, managed to buy a hulk just before discontinuing the model as a investment to sell on But having owned and worn it I’d have to really have to need to sell it to part with it . The Hulk is a watch that has presence yet is completely comfortable to wear , I love it.
Hulk. The face is a stunning one off....
I would now swap my Starbucks for a Hulk.
@@fontyyyguess not hulk owner will ever flip a Hulk vs a starbucks anyway 😂😂😂😂
@@impexRQ the used values would suggest you are right.
Chrono24;
Starbucks average price £12300
Hulk average price £15500
So the Hulk is STILL up near double it's original MSRP.
Watches don’t have faces.
@@bobbender5858 yeah, I know, dials
My favorite part of your video is the classic light meter on the left!
hi hello i have Rolex Kermit bought it in 2009 and still is the best in my opinion as the case shape is more elegant and suite the bracelet in compatible design .
