    Dear LWC, I've enjoyed all your videos. Very good work. Thank you. Between the Kermit and the Hulk, I would pick the Kermit any day (which I have one myself). I agree with you that the Hulk has a better band and clasp, which I can appreciate - and the glide lock is brilliant, as you can make fine adjustments to center the clasp to the back of your wrist. I guess the best of both worlds is to have a Kermit face and Hulk links - that would be strong!!

    The Kermit’s are both “TRUE FULL SETS” along with 5x 50th Anniversary press kits & numerous green insets.
    The Kermit is way more wearable, sleeker looking , the Hulk feels like I’ve got a Brick strapped to my wrist ... a huge chunk of metal that screams out “ Look at me”

    Ok first I am fortunate to own both. Kermit for a long time. I love this watch and rarely go without getting complimented when worn. I have fancier watches and more expensive that go in noticed. I recently got a deal on a Hulk I couldn't pass up. I am in love, I agree with the comments on the solid more modern feel. I love the glidelock deployment. The dial is amazing.
    Cons the Kermit is such a collector peice I rarely wear it.
    I see myself wearing the Hulk as more of a daily piece.
    Having said that I felt like I was cheating on my Kermit and put down the Hulk for her today. Watch addict for sure great video.

    Both watches are absolutely class, the black dial definitely is more sleek in some sense however in my personal opinion, I prefer the iconic submariner dial whilst having an eye catching color like that gorgeous Irish green tint to it. There are way too many watches with a black dial and although black and green go hand in hand on the Cermit, I must admit that the reason I purchased the Hulk was solely because it is more unique. Wonderful video!

So tempted to purchase one to replace it but I think I have gone beyond Rolex in collecting and now have concentrated on more exquisite high horology pieces. Maybe one day when the over inflated prices drop, I may replace it. Great review. Enjoyed it very much..many thanks

    @langestrom814 4 года назад

    I’d have to agree with you saying that modern Rolex is much more functional and a better everyday wear. Vintage and neo-vintage Rolex is absolutely stunning and are well-built but modern Rolex is just better in every tangible way. I think whatever makes you smile when you wear it is the way to go. I recently got a two tone Bluesy and despite it having gold, I’m not really “worried” about it being super pristine over the years. There’s something about it that really does make me smile and feel special wearing it. On the other hand I’ve tried a neo-vintage GMT Master ii and I noticed straight away the less solid clasp. I liked what it represents and appreciate how it’s still here but I’d be worried wearing it everyday.

    Great video, thanks. I have both and you are spot on. The bracelet of the older Rolex are horrible. I was wearing my "Coke" circa 94 I believe the other day the bracelet actually was cutting into my wrist. Never happens with the new mods. My problem with either of these watches is that I always feel I have to match the green dials and bezel to some article of clothing. I rarely wear green. But, I am always looking for a polo type shirt that I can wear here in the Summer to wear the watches out. So, until then I guess I will just wear out the Batman.

    I actually prefer the Kermit. Hulk looks too beefed up and kinda silly. Though the ceramic bezel is an advantage, in my opinion the Kermit looks better overall. I don't care about hollow links on the bracelet because I have watches that are decades old with hollow links and thin clasps and they're still perfectly fine. Watch people obsess way too much over "modern" bracelets honestly.

Of course, the Hulk definitely feels more of a quality product than the Kermit.

    I didn't see you mention anything about the case difference?? Lugs maybe??? This is pretty important info and a major difference between the two yes, something I thought would be included in a comparison video. I mean maybe you forget the crown guards but the case ?????.

    British Racing Green & Rolex Green. Both iconic.

    They do look very different. The Kermit has a vintage look to it. Personally, I prefer the Hulk. It has a contemporary look to it while retaining the iconic submariner look.
