The 116610LV is a beauty. Around 2011 - 2016, I remember seeing these on display at the AD, sometimes two at a time. I didn't appreciate Rolex much at the time, and favored Breitling and Omega. I greatly regret not picking one up years ago when they were readily available and before being discontinued.
That dial on the Hulk turns jet black in some lights and then looks similar to the Kermit so maybe that's where the mistake was made. edit. wrote this at the start of the video and Oisin went on later in the vid to say the same thing about the dial so perhaps that's what happened
The alpinist video is still my favourite! As an alpine climber, and seiko lover who also fell in love with Cortina, it just worked so well for me! Great soundtrack too! Congratulations on the new addition to the collection!
I paid 6000 Euros for a Hulk 5 years ago - very nice watch I traded it in on a new Batman then got bored with that and traded that in on a solid gold GMT green dial and then traded that in for a Batgirl and out of all of them i miss the Hulk. was recently offered a new old stock Hulk but the price was too high.
Pulled the trigger on my Hulk in March of 2020 after seeing your video predicting its discontinuation. Can’t stop wearing mine - congratulations on the purchase - wear it in good health!
There I was thinking that I would have an alcohol free evening, then I see that Italy's most famous Irishman is doing another unboxing. Thank God for a decent Shiraz!
When she was younger, my daughter used to watch RUclips videos of people unboxing Kinder egg toys and it always used to baffle me... ...now here's me watching watches being unboxed.... I get it completely 😂 Great vid, great watches 👍🏻
Sitting at home quaffing my cheap Italian red whilst loving your Hulk unboxing. My favourite watch that I bought at the AD back in 2019 & I will never sell. Timeless classic & oh so different
That's probably the perfect age. I always see stuff about people giving nice watches to their kids at 18.... When I was 18 I probably would have sold a Rolex for something dumb.
@@Semach i think the first rolex you get should be earned. As in. Pay for it. Gifting someone their first rolex is really depriving them of something special.
I had a hulk for a long time. Like you I appreciate its darker color scheme. But when I took it outside it was two flamboyant for my tastes. In the summertime, it looks like Miami Beach.
A lot of those American roots for the vineyards in Europe came from my area in Southern Missouri (apparently our climate is very “French” lol). Always gives me a bit of local pride when I think of that

Yeah… but phylloxera came from there too! That caused the problem in the first place! 🤦🏻♂️
Great Unboxing , the end of the video was really good with the Piano in Minor mixed in with the watches , you could feel the weight of the piano and the thickness of the air . 👍👍👍👍👍
I don't quite agree about the lume - the superluminova is a yellowish green, whereas the chromalite is a bluish green (and I never understand why people refer to it as blue, but I digress) and I think the chromalite suits the hulk better, but just my opinion
I have a Hulk and in all honesty find it Mehhh, it's by far the least attractive case of all the references and the green makes it less wearable than standard subs. It's pretty for sure and looks great in pics but it's by far the last of my Rolex's I reach for. If I was only going to have one sub it would be a four or five digit or maybe the new 41mm (not really sure as I’ve never held one yet). It is true though it does look black at many angles.
I feel the same way. I have the Hulk and I had a Kermit. Sold the Kermit, never wore either of them that’s why I sold the Kermit. I don’t wear green that much. Except on St. Patrick’s Day. So, I found a new use for it.
I just purchased the new citizen eco drive pro master diver with the black dial green bezel to hold me over until the Kermit is mine. Love it! Amazing video here. Love the hulk. Submariner is my grail. Thanks again
Congrats on the watch. I do the same thing when removing links, shortening the south end. Found it also did a better job centering the clasp on the middle of the underside of my wrist. Great video as always.
At 20:23, I've been doing the exact same thing to my bracelets recently. Need to have the links longer on the outside of the wrist to get the clasp to lay more center to center left. Literally the exact same amount of total links would feel too tight but having it asymmetrical fixed the issue.
Huge congrats on both watches mate! I absolutely love my 197j as well and will be tomorrow’s Seiko Saturday choice. I too much prefer less links on the south side than the north. Many thanks again for my favorite dinner making content! 🙏🏼 🍷
I can't believe this guy! I got confused with my 8 watch collection, and ended up reducing to only two pieces that i love. I can't imagine having so many and doing one or more unboxing per month. How do you wear all this? Sometimes i feel like being a one watch guy, just to not get crazy.
He keeps going because he has the passion and the funds to keep going. Most of the pieces shown are investment level watches (ie Rolex biased) so if he decided to liquidate his collection he’d probably show a return on investment. If I had expendable cash like that I’d probably not be far behind.
Just a small correction, "LETERRE" is "THELANDS" they took away the blank space. Wearing my Alpinist spb201j1, dreaming of the Rolex and, even more, of the Omega on your wrist. Fantastic intro and outro!
Haha, watching this video while wearing my Pagani Design homage to the Hulk. My wife would divorce me if I were to ever lay out 20K on a watch, especially a green one, so my little green Pagani it has to be. At least I get to enjoy the asthetics of the design on my wrist even if it doesn’t say Rolex on the dial. Enjoy the real deal ! 👍
@@arnoldjenkins5455 He did well to recognise that model was worth getting before everyone else. As I said, I appreciate the design but I don’t need the word Rolex on the dial, so my homage watch does just fine for me. As an aside, I happened to be outside Oisin’s local AD three weeks ago, while on vaction in Venice with the family. If it didn’t have the Rolex sign above the door, you’d never know it was an AD. A very hot and bored security guard was stood outside trying to keep cool in the shade, with equally bored looking sales people sat inside, and the shelves totally bare with not one watch on display. The days must really drag for those guys with nothing to sell !
@@arnoldjenkins5455 I remember a trip to my local AD in 2016 , I tried on a hulk, SD4K and a no date sub- I went for the no date sub. With hindsight I should have bought all 3!
It is "Lunette verte" indeed, you need to pronounce the E at the end because Lunette is féminin. Great chanel, appreciate the overall 'ambiance', never too serious and never boring, it's almost like we met before. After having watched a few of your videos, I feel relaxed and so nostalgic about Europe... Take care ! Patrick, a french man in Tennessee
Who else came here for the chit chat and not the watch? 🥂 🍻
I came for the watch actually 😁🙏🏼
I'm here for both Adrian 👌

Came for both!
💯. The scruffy Irishman could be unboxing a 60$ Casio, the bantering would still be great.
The 116610LV is a beauty.

Wearing my Hulk and this came on. Love the video! Thanks for also posting the music again, it’s duly appreciated!
Love the hulk - it’s an amazing piece … you can wear it as a daily … even with suites
The Kermit (16610LV) is the 50th Anniversary Sub, not the Hulk.
I was thinking the same. Didn’t want to put it out there though in case I was wrong! 😂👍
I thought that too.
That dial on the Hulk turns jet black in some lights and then looks similar to the Kermit so maybe that's where the mistake was made.

Yup the Kermit is the 50th.

Thumbs up again 👍
The only Sub I have. It’s just a beautiful dial. My favorite casual piece from Rolex.
It’s a perfect piece for every single day 👌🏻

Beautiful camera work and lighting once more Oisin👍 You made even the Hulk look so appealing👏
These videos are so awesome. I always learn something about a diffrent watch. Gain some culture. Love it. Thanks for the high quality production!
I had a hulk for a long time. Like you I appreciate its darker color scheme. But when I took it outside it was two flamboyant for my tastes. In the summertime, it looks like Miami Beach.
I dig this format. Like fight night or a rock concert. The openers and the headliner.
That intro was mesmerizing. Nice work, my man. Beautiful shots---you did this one justice.

@ Hey, we right our wrongs here in Missouri 😂
Thanks 🙏 Another beautiful Rolex video. Made my night!
The hulk is the best of the subs. Great video as usual
Just poured a large dram of ardbeg. Got myself the Rhodium Yacht 40 today. A 30 minute unboxing from my favourite Irish snob. Life is great
You have the best music on youtube.
Awesome watch! My favor rolex. Congrats !!!
I've bought the Seiko mountain glacier Limited Edition with the straps. Considering to buy the bracelet as an addition. Really an amazing watch!!
Love this watch, excellent videography as usual 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I love the glacier alpinist, its a hit
Nice watch 👍. Great addition to your already impressive Rolex collection
Great Unboxing , the end of the video was really good with the Piano in Minor mixed in with the watches , you could feel the weight of the piano and the thickness of the air .
👍👍👍👍👍
They are both beautiful. The Seiko was stunning!
Yes sir ... Just poured a Bailey's on the rocks in preparation to sit and watch another fantastic video. Keep up the good work!
Two watch unboxings in one video. Now that is what I call a good day! Great shots of the watches!
I don't quite agree about the lume - the superluminova is a yellowish green, whereas the chromalite is a bluish green (and I never understand why people refer to it as blue, but I digress) and I think the chromalite suits the hulk better, but just my opinion
Life doesn't get any better, rolex cigars, booze! And that stunner in last video simply 😍 👌 😳 🙌 👏 chilling in Venice! Dream stuff! Keep it up!👌👍😃🍻🍻
Lovely watch 👍 we need a state of the collection review?
I love when you talk about wine and cigars !
My favourite Rolex. Superb video as always.
Ive got to save these unboxings for after dinner with a few drinks and a smoke.

Four digit sub.. Thats a territory this green sub would never come close to.
Congratulations Oisin !!! Definitely the green lume …enjoy the icon !
One of the Four Horsemen - a true masterpiece.
What are the other 3 horsemen?
Oh man!!!! Huge grail acquisition. Congratulations. Cheers mate
I think you are right about the luminova..
Why does a colour make such a difference? I WANT IT !!!!!!
Love your channel
Amazing watch! Do you mind sharing what camera do you use in this vid? thanks
Great video as usual, the original alpinist video was one of my favs.. a real masterpiece 👍👌
I just purchased the new citizen eco drive pro master diver with the black dial green bezel to hold me over until the Kermit is mine. Love it! Amazing video here. Love the hulk. Submariner is my grail. Thanks again

If you find yourself near Pordenone I used to frequent Bessich Wines. Very fond of their Novello.

I've also had someone mistake mine for the new LV with black dial, the guy was then shocked I was actually wearing a Hulk in the wild lol.

I tried to do that, but i would wear one watch in the morning, one for the afternoon, and one at night. My brain couldn't handle it.
I thought tat too. As I usually only wear a Daytona, but then again. Which one?🤔
I wear a sub. But if i had to pick one for life, maybe it would be the explorer 1 39mm.
Japan made Seiko are great but Grand Seiko are just brilliant in every way, including the fantastic dials that are better than the swiss can do.
This would be my one Rolex if I’m ever in a position to own one. Love your videography as usual. You are a class act.
you will be in position, believe it 🤝
Happy to see Rolex back on the playlist! :)
"new watches its all good" words of wisdom again !
Cool video, interesting how you remove the links more on one side to sit on your wrist, I have the same issue so great tip.
I remember when the Hulk Rolex was not that popular, it's a pleasure to see that unboxing!! Cheers with the 77
Great outro!
Man. After watching this nice video I want a Sub, but the Starbucks 126610LV. Well done.
Sir great vid, your right hand needs to see more sun then your left has been seeing what's up with that?
The video we've all been waiting for 😎
Celebrating the 7th anniversary of the 50th anniversary of the Rolex Submariner 😂. You nailed the photography!
Going to watch later when I have a glass of wine. 👍👍
funny you should say that with the bracelet adjustment. i tend to do the same thing as my watches also tend to slide away like yours👍
Always nice to see new videos going up! Nicely shot showing the color changes. Bravo. 👍
I don't know what sounds better, the cork being popped or the sound of the pour.
Just a small correction, "LETERRE" is "THELANDS" they took away the blank space. Wearing my Alpinist spb201j1, dreaming of the Rolex and, even more, of the Omega on your wrist. Fantastic intro and outro!
You did right by the dial light-play-color!
....and I may have to sample that "77"
Awesome to bring up the submariner no date VS the Hulk. My choice is the 114060 over the 116610LV all day ever day.
Cheers from beautiful Seattle.
Nice photos 👌🏼
little FT dial are before 2016/17 + Small size rolex box , its clear that someone has scam the card for a + of money. still a stunning watch
Congrats. Just bought one of these for my own collection. Waiting the UPS to show up !
Another great video. Do you still have that two tone Daytona?
Beautiful watch and video. Thanks awfully. Just what I needed. Cheers.
Loved the outro
Great vlog great watches enjoy
Liked button pressed just hearing the music
Congratulations on the new purchase. The Hulk is my grail. I hope one day I can achieve, but the way the prices are going it’s not looking promising
The outro gave me chills…
Beautiful! Let me just hazard a guess - the actual Hulk would look at a strap extension...
Great video. Didn't really get your MO at first - but you've grown on me. You'll be glad I'm sure. Keep them coming. Thanks
That's how you should adjust the bracelet. A jeweler told me this years ago.
Great review, awesome close (as usual) and I especially loved the comparison to the GMT MII... that was a very, very nice touch.
Clicked on video called “hulk unboxing.” Now I want to buy a bracelet for my SARB Aplinist.
