Rolex Kermit vs Rolex Hulk | Bob's Watches

In this Rolex Submariner comparison video, we’re going to take a look at the similarities and differences between the two green Submariner watches: the Rolex Submariner ref. 16610LV “Kermit” and the Rolex Submariner ref. 116610LV “Hulk” to see how they stack up against each other. The Rolex Submariner launched in 1953 and was met with great success since its innovative and robust design was the first dive watch to offer 100 meters of water resistance. The classic Submariner style features an all-black dial, so the Rolex Submariner Hulk 116610LV caused a stir when it was released with a bright green sunburst dial - marking the first time in the Submariner’s history that a stainless steel reference was offered with a dial color other than black. However, before there was the Hulk, the Rolex 16610LV Kermit arrived in 2003 which celebrated the collection’s 50th anniversary. It was the first stainless steel Rolex dive watch to feature a colored bezel and also the first Submariner to ever feature a ‘Maxi’ dial, characterized by its larger hands and hour markers. There’s no mistake where the watch got its name from; the green bezel and black dial with large white markers is reminiscent of the famous frog character from Sesame Street. The Rolex Kermit was discontinued in 2010 - the very same year that the Rolex Hulk ref. 116610LV was launched. While the Kermit only featured a green bezel, the Hulk featured a bright green sunburst dial reminiscent of the blue dials that are fitted
