The Hitory of Hulk and Kermit Watches
Many known Rolex collectors may have realized that green is an iconic color of Rolex. Despite this, there are actually not many Rolex replica watches on the market that offer this unique color. Rolex usually leaves its iconic green version for limited editions. In addition to the two Glace Verte Milgauss with green sapphire crystal, the Submariner series of the brand also has two of the most noteworthy green Rolex fake watches. There are many similarities between “Rolex Hulk” and “Rolex Kermit”, but in the debate of green Rolex Submariner, many collectors have a soft spot for one of them.
Both are green and Submariner, which is no wonder they are often confused. Today we will take a closer look at these two cheap watches, they are almost the same, but very different. With this bold color subtly entering the hearts of Rolex enthusiasts, and there are rumors that the Hulk will be absent from the Basel Watch Fair this year, now is a good time to discuss the two in detail.
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the birth of Submariner (one of Rolex’s most popular replica watches in history), the company decided to play with new tricks. They introduced a bright green bezel into the collection, and collectors were quite surprised. They have used the relatively versatile black Submariner as a must-have for the wardrobe for many years. Suddenly, Rolex Submariner has attracted many new fans. He wants to stand out and be different.
Rolex made small but significant alterations to the classic Submariner 16610 to launched the Kermit ref. 16610LV (“LV” refers to lunette verte, which means a green bezel in French). The most distinctive characteristics of Rolex Kermit is its astonishing green aluminum bezel; however, it also first introduced Rolex’s “Maxi” dial to the Submariner series, which has larger time scales and hands. Rolex Kermit has the shape of Submariner, can also provide up to 300 meters (1,000 feet) of waterproof performance, unidirectional chronograph bezel, 40 mm Oyster case size and flat 3-link stainless steel Oyster bracelet .
Kermit was initially suspected by the public, but later accepted by most Rolex collectors, it has now become one of the most sought-after Submariner versions on the second-hand market. However, after just a few years of fun, when people really started to be passionate about the idea of a green “submariner”, Rolex stopped the code name of “Komet” and changed it to “Hulk”.
