Rolex Submariner "Hulk" versus Oris Aquis Date Green Ceramic! The hottest green dive watch of our time goes head to head with the hottest green dive watch of Baselworld 2018 in a matchup of Rolex 116610LV vs. an Oris Aquis Date that costs over three times less money. Both are steel dive watches with green sunburst dials, green ceramic bezel inserts on unidirectional dive bezels, full steel bracelets, diving claps, and 300-meter water resistance. Can the Oris Aquis pull a colossal upset against a Rolex Submariner honed over 65 years of evolution, or will Geneva's mightiest "montre" fight back this insurgent challenge. Find out on my latest "bootleg Versus" one-take luxury watch comparison!
The Rolex Submariner Date "Hulk" features a 40mm stainless steel case with green bezel surrounding a green dial on a stainless steel Oyster bracelet with folding buckle. Functions include hours, minutes, seconds and date. The watch also measures 12.8mm in thickness and 50mm from lug-to-lug.
The Oris Aquis Date features a 43.5mm stainless steel case with green bezel surrounding a green dial on a stainless steel bracelet. Functions include hours, minutes, seconds and date. The watch also measures 12.9mm in thickness and 48mm from lug-to-lug.

I'm not a watch collector, but I ended up getting the Oris Aquis Date after considering the Rolex. What sold me, besides the price, was that the green is subdued and unobtrusive. It's not in your face, but not boring either. It looks dark and classy, not calling much attention to itself, yet still has plenty of character when the light hits it. This watch must really be seen in person to understand if you appreciate this attribute.
Thanks for the comparison video :)
Im here because im bored 😁
@Zac Ariah thank you! Still love it, no regrets.
@Im here because im bored 😂😂😂
Great pick up! Wear it in good health!
For me, Oris is the winner🏆🥇
Another one for Oris!

True
I think if someone watched this video, who had no clue about watches and pricing, and they were asked which one is worth 7times more than the other, they would most likely choose the oris as the more expensive one, it just looks classier.
I agree. I also cant stand the massive case of the rolex.
Dammit Tim, if I buy the Oris now, It will take me that much longer to get the Rolex! Dammit all!!!
You have to ask yourself one simple questions: do you want a watch like the sub, or do you want the sub?
Its not a trick question. For example, I want a watch like the Rolex Explorer, but it doesn't have to be the Explorer. Thus a watch like the Tudor Black Bay 36 will satisfy me.
@@trevbarlow9719 Aside from both being dive watches, the aquis and the sub are nothing alike.
@@kmcel190 both are green, have shiney ceramic bezels and are about the same size. Both are made by independent Swiss companies. Neither are going for a vintage feel, but rather a modern one. Just to name a few similarities. They wouldn't have made this video if all they had in common were that they were divers.
I love the depth of the Aquis green.
It's a more adult green, to be sure. And Oris made a clear decision to mute the sunburst grain of the dial along with the mirror-ball effect that a deep sunburst can produce. The Rolex's deep metallic dial grain reflects huge volumes of light and creates the impression of a far brighter color.
Best,
Tim
Oris
Any day
This video was one of the contributing factors in my recent purchase of a 39.5 mm Oris Aquis Limited Edition Clean Ocean with what I think can only be described as an aqua-marine dial.
Great Vid as always Tim, When I travel, I take both with me. Oris is great value for a 30 BAR watch.
Awesome! It definitely has some great water resistance! Thanks for sharing and enjoy your watches! - WatchBox Team
Love the aquis, Oris sure do offer excellent value for money
Damnit, need that damn Oris now..
Awesome comparo. Your "versus" style is perfection. Love that Oris.
Thanks for your feedback James! Glad you like our video!

You can get 7-10 Oris aquis watches for 1 Rolex. Oris is usually on sale, and good luck with getting Hulk under 12k.
I assure you the value of Oris aquis will increase value most especially the green . I have the Oris green Rolex submariner, Omega seamaster and Rolex deep sea dive Oris is a beauty at it's price
I LOVE the Green ORIS, gorgeous watch
Tim I just ordered the Oris Aquis Source of Life watch. My first Oris and I am very much looking forward to it. Buying a Hulk at an AD is proving to be a very long wait..lol.
The Oris Aquis Source of Life!? May you *LITERALLY* wear your watch in the best of health!
- WatchBox Team
WatchBox Reviews Thank you very much! I will do my best 👍😀
I must say, this is a very well done, and very honest review. Quality comparison
Thanks for tuning in!
- The WatchBox Team
I don't know how you can say the Oris is 1/3rd the price and at the end of the video the Oris is $2k and Rolex is 9k.Even if you don't factor in taxes, that's 4.5x difference. Thanks for the nice comparison, however!
Glad to hear even with a little rounding up you still like the comparison! Thanks for watching - WatchBox Team
And that's only if you can find the Rolex from an AD. Grey market prices are like 10x.
The Oris for me, the green when you're out and about is so good, plus the strap and bracelet is a great and at a fraction of the price
"For those times where you dare not go with your Rolex." Like snorkeling, or diving, for most Rolex owners.
If we can drop off the brand name of both watches,,, I will go for the Oris. The design is more clean cut especially w/o a date window.
"Status" ... ha
Great review. Has anyone noticed that the Oris bracelet tapers a little too much down to 18mm. It was once 20mm who h was more masculine to match the case. The other flaw is that I need glasses to read the "oris" on the clasp. Like it was a last minute engraving from the guy at the market unlike the bold stamped Oris on the tt1 which was a nicer bracelet. Apart from that it is great compared to the over priced old boring Rolex.
Another one for Oris! You have an extreme eye to detail there Joseph!
Thanks for your input!
- WatchBox Team
Oris not only for my purse and the diff.between the two is out all Logics
I own both of this watches. This review is spot on. Oris has built quality for the money and its suprisingly small on the wrist. Love my green aquis.
I think the Oris would really be a great watch to own, it is a really nice piece, thanks for the review.
I think if you do a comparison between the rolex hulk to the new oris 39.5 mm version for their hulk, it would really interest many people
Godddddd that was a crazy good review. Subscribed.
Welcome aboard!
Oris looks better in color and unique design
Love Rolex but this model for me is as good as Toywatch i believe you must have 0 taste to buy it . Oris looks better for sure .
I can’t put my Oris Shrek down. I love this damn thing. It so hot! Only watch I wear that people ever comment on. LOVE it.
Love both dial but the Oris did the bezel better ......the rolex looks aged should have copied the kermit
Solid point there Marc, thanks for sharing!
- WatchBox Team
recently i forked out 13 grant for a 2016 submariner hulk because i'm sick of waiting for the past few years and finally decided to pull the trigger because i came across a watch collector who told me that as long as you buy the "right" rolex, don't be overly concerned that you are paying a premium on it as it is going to be more expensive as history of rolex had reminded us that this is a fact if you bought a right one, but if you buy a wrong rolex, no matter how you are going to lose money. In that instance, i realized that as long as there is an overwhelming and hungry demand for the watch, that should be the right one as compared to those that continued to sit in the display counters of those AD waiting for their time.....
Tim does it again. Great comparison.
Oris wins ! Rolex overhyped marketing to pull price up
The Oris is stunning I own this exact one 😍
I like green watches! I want the Rolex, but I have an Oris budget.
I've got both. I must say the Rolex is by far a much better quality watch. But then again, you get what you pay. The Oris is a mighty fine watch for its price
Can you tell what the better quality is in the rolex besides on paper? And why on earth you got both?
FIVE TIMES BETTER VALUE WISE 1600 VS 9000....HELL KNOW. THE HULK IS LIKE OTHER ROLEXS NOTHING TRANSCENDING
sorry but higher quality my ass... I have rolex, cartier, carl bucherer and the quality is top notch on all three. Guess what? Oris makes them as good -quality wise, if not sometimes better.... Rolex is just the hype, billions of dollars go to marketing, that is what you end up paying for a rolex sub these days... Oris all the way. I just got my new green baby
The Hulk is a future classic :)
Does this Oris Aquis green dial has a green rubber strap?
You can get it on steel, brown leather or black rubber
Both beautiful watches, I would like both in my collection 😆
Feels like I just ran a marathon!!
would buy the oris if they make the 39mm green ceramic
Now possible !!!!!
They do
“the click isn’t as satisfying” love it!
Ilke it. 43mm though. I think Oris has a smaller model
I'd rather have the Oris by quite a wide margin.
I don’t get the comparison. The Oris is a nice watch, the Rolex is a great watch. That said, I don’t get this dive watch thing.
RickJason Oris is a fantastic watch. Work horse! Sexier by 10x and it’s tougher.
7:30 14cm in circumference? Are you kidding me? That's a small child's wrist! Other than that, love the video! I have an 18 cm / 7 inch wrist. Contemplating the 43.5mm Aquis or 39.5mm
Tim, you speak way too fast. Take example on the presenter from watchfinder. Take a deep breath and take your time, we are in no hurry. Let's enjoy this calmly.
I appreciate this advice, but I'm not looking to replicate a presenter who includes 40-60 edited cuts per video. It's easy to speak slowly when you don't have to deliver in *one take* -- two watches -- sub-10 minutes. My style reflects who I am and the demands of my format.
Best,
Tim
@@the1916companywatchreviews Tim, your style is fine, and reflects both your knowledge and enthusiasm.
Tim Is unique in his fast, compact and eloquently presented videos that literally deals with the functionality and history of the watch. Watchfinder have big budget from Richemont and can afford to pant around with rhetoric and use fancy language, with Tim I can learn about a brand or model of watch in real minutes. Diversity is the spice of life, when I want to learn prior to purchasing then I use Tim' s channel and Watchfinder is just for mere entertainment. Two different good styles of presenting.
Your style is what gained you fans. Stick with who you are (sounds like that's already your plan, and I'm glad).
Tim > The guy from Watchfinder
Oris all the way!
Oris
If your deciding between the Rolex or the Oris then your not serious about buying a Rolex no matter how much better it is, you'll make excuses of why not to buy the Rolex when in reality you just plain cant afford it. Nobody decides between a 60k dollar and a 18k car.
Sounds like Oris paid advert
And yet, we're authorized dealers of both new, so it comes from the heart; I count on Rolex not watching these... PLUS, since we're selling that pre-owned green Sub at substantially over retail ($14,450) and the Oris for $2,000, all of my economic incentive is to push the Rolex.
I prefer the Oris, I speak sincerely, and that's how the video happened. Also, my manufacturer-sponsored videos always include gloves and a wood block, so now you know when I'm being paid by a brand to discuss a watch.
Best,
Tim
@@@the1916companywatchreviews
Well said.... make no sense for u to 'push' a cheaper watch over a bigger price tag Hulk. I infact like the Oris more over the Hulk... is not about the maker is about of which u have more feel at it.
Oris is dope af. It’s sexy as hell!!
The Oris is great but has a boring Sellita 😔
Great video and excellent knowledge. Rolex is classical but dated design and for rich asshole as it is oberprived. Oris is modern, smooth, sexy and beautiful. I would actually pay more for the Oris. The 40 mm roles is midsize these days. Small for real men
Thanks for your support and feedback Joseph!
- WatchBox Team
"real"men, hilarious!
Slow down
The green color of rolex looks like a cheap watch
Can never get over the ugly wart on Rolexes total abomination that’s why I prefer Tudor and the oris shown in video I own and it’s beautiful but bracelet little lacking in quality
Another pointless comparison. If you find yourself in this situation and can't figure it out on your own it's unlikely you'd have the decisiveness to amass enough lolly to buy either.
'Plastic Hello Kitty watch V Rolex GMT II'
It's only a matter of time unless YT get their algorithms sorted out.
Next one: Oris vs Patek
Oris fanboys: I prefer the Oris, Patek is an obvious choice
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
first
Thank you for being first on the scene, Richie! I appreciate your support.
Best,
Tim
This review finalized my decision to buy my blue Oris Aquis Date. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!
That's what we love to hear!
May you receive your Oris and wear it in the best of health!
- WatchBox Team
Oris all the way !!
That Aquis is tempting! I think the Hulk would look better if its bezel were a little darker.
The Oris launched in 2018. My theory is that Rolex was limited by consumer ceramic tech when it developed this 2010 model year Sub during the late 2000s. That, and Rolex's undoubted insistence on doing this in-house likely dictated the ultimate color of the bezel more than design team intentions.
Best,
Tim
WatchBox Reviews Well said my friend!
Oris Aquis. Have the older edition, green bezel, grey dial. Built like a tank. Beautifully made. Great value for money. Great design as well.
RRP £1300 approx but can get for less.
I bought my first Oris in 2004 and have never looked back, glad to see over the last few years the brand is getting the reputation it has always deserved.
I've tried really hard to love the Hulk, but that bezel looks lighter than the dial, as if it's washed out and faded. The Oris just looks a ton better.
100 percent: the Oris does a better job of matching its dial to the color of the ceramic insert. The Rolex mismatch likely reflects the state of consumer ceramics technology in the late 2000s when Rolex was developing this watch. Oris' green ceramic Aquis launched at Baselworld 2018, so even at a lower price point, the tech simply works better in our time. Further, Oris created a darker and less overtly metallic dial that reflects less light, and I'm sure that considerable energy was expended matching the dial to the bezel insert.
Best,
Tim
@Warrior Savant I don't doubt it, and probably I exaggerated a bit. I really like the dial, and came close to buying one, but the bezel just didn't quite do it for me personally.
7 oris aquis dates or 1 hulk...🤔
1 Oris aquis and a lot of money
Love that taper on the Oris strap. Oris uses the same shade of green for bezel and dial, looks a lot more grown up than the cartoonish Rolex....
I've had the green 39.5 mm Oris for over a year now. It's a fantastic watch. Easy to wear, great bracelet, bright lume, and the selita keeps excellent time.
The Rolex hulk green is a little tiresome
To be sure, it's a more overt green than the Oris. Aside from sheer Rolex fatigue on TH-cam (I feel it), there's a lack of focus on value. As dive watches, these are functionally similar; as style statements, the Oris' green might be a better all-around option than Rolex's relentless jolly-green-giant-effect.
Best,
Tim
There are a few quality differences, most of all the movement. Design-wise Oris is better (that is a matter of taste). But the Rolex quality is not 12 times as good.
Agree
I ordered the Oris Aquis Green Date 4 days ago, can't wait to get it and start wearing it ! My first high end watch for my collection , just save up for an Omega Speedmaster now . Great channel and Vlogs !
Oris👍🇸🇪
Hulk beaten by The Green Lantern 😱
I don’t know what’s about the Rolex hulk but no other green diver comes close
Tim, when you hit your fifties you will appreciate the cyclops on the date!
Not calling you out Tim but merely an observation. Sometimes I feel you make comparisons or make statements when it fits and aren’t consistent.
1) always state Rolex is the best clasp in the business but say you prefer the push button clasp on the Oris
2) state Oris let’s you see the movement but on numerous occasions you state that it’s a cheap trick by companies to put a display case back on basic non decorated movements
These are a few examples. Still enjoy your reviews and Watchbox.
I love Tim! He is a real expert when it comes to watches and he has all the respect from me as a watch lover, but we have to remember that in
these presentation videos he is foremost a salesman. He has to make both products present as desirable. That's why you will find a few contradictions, especially if you follow him regularly. He earns his bread with watch sales...
The best clasp in the business is the Tudor Pelagos...NO CONTEST. Rolex is tiresome
This was a very gentlemanly call out! Ha. Cheers.
The Cyclops window has always stopped me buying a Rolex, I now own 3 Oris and wouldn't buy any other brand
You know there is a sub no date model, if that is the problem
@@marinjovic9017 not in green though, I believe. I would prefer a no- date green if it were available. I agree the look is cleaner. Just my opinion though.
Tried on the Oris today, it's a lovely watch for the money and the green dial is gorgeous...my next watch
Tim, you know so much about watches ... in its essence ... you really understand things deep. I feel like it’s your true passion... don’t spend your time selling stuff ! Get a job at a company like iwc or blancpain and make them do great products again like Steve jobs did when he came back to apple ! Get rid of the shit products and make them focus on good stuff ... cuz u can’t tell me almost all watches sold by Rolex are amazing and all the other companies have one or two model even worth looking at .. and some companies like GP or c.f bucherer not one :(
Awaiting delivery of an Aquis date relief, can't wait.
Nice comparison!
By the way how do you think about Oris Aquis against the new Mido ocean star?
That's a VERY tough opponent that might be able to out-Oris the Oris. I won't know until I get them both in one place.
Best,
Tim
Oris Wins that! I've had all 3 of them, Hulk, Aquis and Oceanstar
Awesome video tim. I like how you specified the measurements comparison of each watch, and i do agree they're pretty similar, even tho by paper the oris is slightly bigger. I purchased an Oris Aquis Cliperton LE and i cant enough of it. Love how gorgeous it looks.
Oris is an amazing watch and even more so for the money. I love Rolex Subs but not for the price they are asking. At their price I could have the Oris and a (Tudor, or Omega, or Breitling)
Oris hands down
Surprisingly appropriate comparison of two very differently priced watched. Nice work.
Thank you, Sir! Some folks are grousing about the price disparity, but I like the deliberate mismatch. Illuminating unexpected value is more fun than repeating TH-cam worship of the same Rolex for the 50,000th time.
Best,
Tim
Aquis is so hot, i own one and it’s incredible watch for everyday lifestyle ❤️
Thank you so much for this awesome review. Can I ask you a question?
Is it worth it to wait till I can buy a Black Bay or Seamaster 300? Or just go and buy Aquis and save money? I just need only one diver watch to wear on weekends and during my vacations.
the oris Shrek
I have Oris aquis blue sunburst, recently bought and enjoy it daily. Kindly make a comparison of Oris with Omega seamaster. It would be great.
1/3 the cost? More like 1/6th the cost LOL. Choice was easy for me, I actually prefer the darker green. Only thing missing from Oris is a glidelock-type system. I opted for the rubber for that reason, as it does offer on-the-fly adjustment.
I am sorry, I am really struggling to tell if the bezel is black or dark green...can you tell me?
Oris is wayyyy better value for money. You shouldn’t even wear a Rolex unless you laugh at the price tag. Pretty simple.
Rolex Hulk not readily available new from your AD... For this alone the Aquis wins :).
I have a 46m Oris small second snd feels way smaller,Oris does a good job making there watches seem smaller.love that green had to put that in.
May you wear your Oris in the best of health!
- WatchBox Team
I bought the 39.5mm Oris (Aka: Yoda) and I LOVE it. It is my watch on the way to the Hulk. Eventually one day I WILL own the Hulk. I love them both.
How does one compare a 15-20k watch to a 2k watch.....you simply can't BEAT the Oris for value.
I could buy 4 different Oris aqua date for the price of the Rolex and have a very tasteful collection... Who needs status when you have a variety to choose from.
Oris is real class without the piss take pricing .
had the green Oris really smart on but sold it
as it felt too small on my wrist, i have two small seconds Oris watches
and are bigger in every way, for the price difference i'll stick to Oris thanks
