Hey I got offered this new Kermit at the AD and couldn’t make the trip because of work :( I told them skip me on the list and call me for the next one. what are the odds they call me for the next one. I guess I’m a vip at this ad
All the Hulk fans are going - "don't make me angry, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry" 😂😂 Have a good Christmas 👍
This is not a personal dig at anyone who owns a Hulk, but even if I had the $ - which I don't - I wouldn't pay retail for it. It's just a not for me. I find it too gregarious, too flashy. I just happen to prefer something a little more discrete. 🤷♂️
@@anthonysmith2982
There’s nothing wrong with that.
We don’t all have to like the same thing.
I agree with you, btw, re the green. I like the OG Kermit best of the 3.
My personal favorite green is the Harrrods Tudor.
@@owenmccord5078
I'm exactly the same!
Infact I just went back and re-watched the Adrians vid on the Harrods Tudor.
That's the one that I would still own, if I was fortunate enough to be in position to choose.
I happen to be more drawn to Tudor as a brand also. Part of my preference for the understated I think, and I just happen to prefer the brands design language. I'm a fan of the Ranger and Pelegos (in black) too.
Bravo
@@anthonysmith2982
Got on the list 2 days after he released his first Harrod’s Black Bay video.
Unfortunately all of my peeps who were usually in/around London were back in the states when I got the call in July (pandemic and whatnot.)
The consolation prize is that a content creator I follow ended up with it.
Silver linings I guess.
Hulk's green dial is something special. I'm not against the Kermits, but once you've seen it in person, Hulk is the one and only choice.
For some reason, I still like HULK. Happy Holidays and take care. Merry Christmas and have a nice year.
That Seamaster looking good on the wrist!
on a green strap. ! but the guy still crying n' hating the green as a b... trying to convince us he doesnt like the hulk
Got to be the hulk for me. I love a quirky dial, wether it’s colour, sunburst, meteorite or enamel. Bought mine back in 2014 when nobody wanted one, mainly because it was green. Healthy discount too. As long as you stay true to your tastes you won’t go wrong.
Horid square looking maxi case thats not in proportion to the bracelet, sold mine, it wore top heavy on the wrist too
Quite agree about the original Kermmie, it looks retro and classy.
Thank you for the "lighten up" comment - couldn't agree more!
Haha. Thanks for watching buddy.
Of the 3 watches I prefer the Omega Seamaster that you are wearing, it’s gorgeous!
There you go.
Yup, I couldn't stop looking at it either. Absolutely the best of the bunch
Own the Hulk, wouldn't swap it for the other Kermits but suppose everyone is different 🙂
I find the Hulk with more personality and something of its own, and special to own.
It is the one and only LV with a beautiful sunburst dial.
a sub trying to be date just
Original, is the original. Gotta respect the history and what it represents BUT Hulk is the better looking watch out of the three. My opinion of course. Used to own Kermit too.
I’m definitely going for the Starbucks/New Kermit. Green is my favorite color, and that green and black combo is killer to me.
100% agree with you
I think the old kermit is nicer, but given the choice between gray market price for the old one and retail for the new one… i ordered the new one, when it was released. Still waiting for it😃
Hulk. The face is a stunning one off....
I would now swap my Starbucks for a Hulk.
@@fontyyyguess not hulk owner will ever flip a Hulk vs a starbucks anyway 😂😂😂😂
@@impexRQ the used values would suggest you are right.
Chrono24;
Starbucks average price £12300
Hulk average price £15500
So the Hulk is STILL up near double it's original MSRP.
Yep... I'm definitely one of those guys who just like watching well made videos about nice watches with no intention of actually buying one.
Glad I’m not the only one. I do the same with cameras. I’ll watch an in-depth review of a camera with zero intentions of buying it.
I have a hulk and wouldn’t want the other two. I wear it almost everyday and fits fine with any outfit or occasion. I love the super case too, and prefer the bracelet over the delicate bracelet of the Kermit, and the proportions over the slimmer lugs and wider bracelet of the new Kermit.
I had the feeling his view was influenced because he had the original Kermit. I also think he did not like the maxi case because he has a smaller wrist. I’ll stick with my Hulk. Maybe be my point of view is clouded also🤷♂️
@@allainbourque I’m sure his influence was because of what he owns. Funny but I never liked the Kermit. The bracelet sucks. And the green on it is more lime colored...a yellowish green. It isn’t a pleasant shade to my eye anyways.
Please remember that when the maxi case first came out most said it suited the "tool" watch persona that the watch portrayed. Now everyone has suddenly decided that we like delicate lines once again. People are so fickle.
@@cirrusmckinney It's hilarious. I'm honestly offended at the "maxi hate" that's emerged since September 1, 2020. Months ago these same people were offering us 2x retail for our watches lol.
If I wanted small lugs, I'd wear a Day-Date. The new Sub is, quite frankly, a disaster. It's a maxi case hack job that would've garnered the same response now had *it* come out in 2010.
Big lugs are for tool watches. Rugged look, protection, and lots of polish potential.
Absolutely agree on the analysis. People hyped up Hulk too much, I personally never thought it as much classy as the Kermits. The new Kermit (Or the Starbucks, I think it is more accurate to describe the color) is the most beautiful of them all, and to complement that with the upgraded movement, it's a clear winner.
The hulk for me , most interesting sub ever made. That's why they are going for over double what they originally cost, which is madness
They are going for that price because of mere hype. Rolex is probably the best at marketing. Compared to other watches Rolex falls short in almost every aspect.
I enjoyed the video...... Thank-you Sir.
Beretta Sr.
This is a very interesting comparison. I've never had these pieces in my hands, so I cannot say which one is my favorite. But to my eyes the old Kermit is the best proportioned of the three.
I think that shade of Green is pretty easy to combine. I can see myself wearing the "New Kermit" as an every day watch. It goes well with all neutral colors I wear (black, white, brown, grey etc.). But I also don't think I would have a problem combining it with blue. Sure, it can look a bit wacky with warmer colors if you do not want to look like a tropical bird. But I am guessing few people wearing these watches are wearing bright orange or pink. And if they do, it would not even clash. You just need the style and personality to pull it off. And people confidently wearing bright orange and pink might just be able to.
Great video bud, helped me make my decision. Picked up a Kermit 2020 today!
The Hulk is my pick and the most interesting by far as Rolex is usually seen as conservative. Most people who know Rolex but don't know much about watches can't believe my Hulk is a real rolex. Also I love how the dial changes in the light while black is just...black. It can go from bright green to grey to black depending on lighting scenarios and I actually find it plenty versatile. I can proudly say I loved it before it was hyped...unfortunately couldn't buy it until the hype was quite a bit higher, but still extremely happy with it. Was between that and the batman. Would also love a batman someday
You have such conservative taste in watches, you could predict this outcome before the vid was made. I love the Hulk myself, the new Kermit is a Hulk with the thing that made it special taken away. To each their own of course!
well said
Agree 100%, hulk for me is the best sub ever made, dial is stunning
Agreed, but the new one has its own thang. Your dayz vids are OG
@@Schittybill the new case shape is no doubt better. The lugs looks much better. It’s just a bit dull IMO.
I really like the no date and the two tone bluesy of the new ones. They stand out to me. The smurf and the hulk were much more exciting than “everything’s a black dial.”
Totally agree....A black sub with a Hulk Bezel
The Hulk is the better looking watch.
Happy Holidays to you & yours, Adrian!
I hear the CV in the UK has mutated. Please take care & be safe.
Loved the video! I was waiting for someone to do this comparison.
When’s the omega seamaster white dial review? Can’t wait for it!
That’s going to be the next big video. Should be don’t early Jan. 👍🏻
@@BarkandJack Looking forward to it! Literally waiting for your review before I give the green light to purchase it!
@@techroam it honestly is a brilliant watch. I bought it because I thought it was cool, but it genuinely hasn’t left my wrist. I wore Kermit today because I thought I should, not because I wanted to.
@@BarkandJack Glad to see you're enjoying the seamaster. Even I didn't expect such a positive response to it. Honesty the white seamaster and 36mm explorer is such a killer two piece collection.
We're forgetting one... the Harrods BB!! 🤓
Oh man the Hulk’s green face should be a Pro not a con
by far the best out of those 3
Great videos, managed to buy a hulk just before discontinuing the model as a investment to sell on But having owned and worn it I’d have to really have to need to sell it to part with it . The Hulk is a watch that has presence yet is completely comfortable to wear , I love it.
Nice video! Thanks!
You ought to do this same video with your seamaster 300, the flat dial ceramic, and the OG bond 2531.80.
Hulk > Kermit ..................................... > Cermit.
I like the hulk because of the uniqueness. In a world full of black and white dial watches, a green, radiant burst dial is fantastic. If you spend that kind of money on a watch, it should look special. The hulk does.
I love the Kermit. I really enjoy vintage looking watches and the kermit fits that bill. Looks great and functions great with a vintage vibe.
The Cermit, to me isn't a winner. It's like when a car company re-releases a popular car from their past. It never captures the original feel. To me, it's just a sub with a green bezel and I'd take the classic black in that case any day.
Harrods BB is the pick of the lot
Agreed it is a very nice watch, and it would be perfect if it is just a touch smaller / slimmer.
Agreed.
Just a shame it has that Harrods Elitist branding in my humble opinion but I do love that more organic green tone 👌
i totally agree with you. OG Kermit and then new Kermit, which I picked up from my AD in October. New Kermit is awesome and fabulous with new power reserve. AD offered me Hulk multiple times over the years and as late as this past August. I said no each time. 116610 fat lugs and green dial did not do it for me at all.
Great vid and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
The Hulk will always be the OG in the submariner line
Hulk is my favourite sub of all time, would be the first watch I’d pick out of these 3. Find your choices interesting
I agree with your conclusion that the Hulk is not in the same league as the old or new Kermit. In fact, the green dial makes it unique and puts it in a much higher class than the Kermits.
For those (like me) that have no issue with a vibrant green dial, what Rolex did with the hulk's dial is a work of art. I still haven't seen a video that truly captures its beauty.
@@thesilveraura2177 Bruce Williams shows an excellent example. 👌
In late May I purchased the Starbucks new from my AD caliber 3235 then this week I get a call for the new Kermit V2 May-June 2023 release caLiber 3235 bth new and the same but Kermit V2 has a lighter green ceramic bezel. Lucky me.
Have you compared the color of the new green sub vs 2020 green sub?
My favorite part of your video is the classic light meter on the left!
Hulk is by far the most interesting and dynamic dial. You can keep your boring black dials that never play with the light :)
Really great video! Informative, objective and enjoyable - thank you for putting it together and posting it up here, Adrian. My favourite? The “new Kermit” 😉
You killed it, man. One of your best videos 🎉
Thanks a lot Krishna.
Awesome video, very well thought trough. Thank you for your thoughts ! Merry Xmas
Thoughts on Bell & Ross BR V92 Green dial model Adrian? Great video.
Couldn’t agree more! With every word in this video. Once again excellent work Adrian!!
🙌🏻
I bought a Hulk LV Bezel for my 116610LN watch new from an AD! So now I have both the traditional Black & Green variations at my disposal with the same watch! Costs some real cash for the LV Bezel, but it’s worth it in my opinion, without having to upgrade to a Cermit/Starbucks…
Cool comparison video but I totally disagree. I fell in love with the beautiful green gold dial of the Hulk since it came out and bought one. I would like to upgrade to the new movement, but the change in dimensions in combination with the standard black dial just makes it boring in my opinion.
Agree. The Hulk stands out. Other 2 is not worth the investment. Nice looking but boring. Maybe for half the price.:)
Awesome video. It’s weird... I thought the new Kermit was bland but since I got one (retail) I’ve fallen hard for it! 💚 The case and bracelet really changes how it fits on the wrist and the more mature refined black dial with green bezel is also special.
Na man the new Kermit is epic. I love it. Good work getting it at retail as well. 👍🏻
funny that - you didn't like them and thought they were bland when you couldn't get one, but the second you could, you suddenly liked it after all.
preciousmetals168 thought it was bland based on images online. Never had the chance to hold it in the hand and that’s crucial when buying a watch. I also feel for retail and close to retail the subs are great. For the market value I don’t think they’re so great because price DOES have a factor in liking or disliking something.
@@BarkandJack I got the first one to arrive at the AD ( I wasn't a VIP client, had in fact only bought one watch from them). Didn't like it, too bland as Emkwan says, and I thought I really would.
Have the Hulk and love it, I also like the discontinued Kermit.
The hulk is by far the best one.
Hi man, love your videos; they’ve made 2020 more bearable :) hoping 2021 to be better and to have more watch videos from B&J
When’s the full SMP review coming?? Ben obsessed with that watch and looks like you’re absolutely loving it as well. Excited to hear your full thoughts after a few weeks
In a couple of weeks. I’m trying to think of somewhere cool to make the video.
What size is your wrist, if you don't mind my asking. Mine is 6.75-7" and was wondering if the new SMP would wear too big...
How times have changed. I literally walked into an AD I've never been to today and was offered the Starbucks.
Adrian, you once had the Harrods Tudor BB, if they were to bring out the same green in the 58 with gilt, would you go for it?
Superb Video ✅ as always! Funny that you’re wearing the Seamaster while reviewing the subs 😁 how is the honeymoon phase going? Have a relaxed holiday season! Cheers
The Hulk is amazing with the green sunburst dial. I own one and when you wear it on a sunny day OMG.
In my opinion I think one of the reasons they discontinued the Hulk is the green sunburst dial is very difficult to manufacture.
Great video as always
Baz
Not necessary the case. Then bluesy had a sunburst dial and they will be my next watch.
I have a feeling Rolex will bring back the Hulk in a couple more years.
I love the dial as well, but it wouldn’t be any harder to produce than the blue YM, or skydweller, or chocolate DJ and probably others.
Completamente de acuerdo con sus comentarios, excelente análisis.
Love the lighten up message. I love the hulk and have for years but there's now way I'm paying that much over retail for anything
Love the fact you can type Kermit, Pepsi and Batman into the Rolex search bar and the watches pop up. I just tried it as well :)
Great content as always Adrian. Where can I get one of those leather tray things you have in this video? With the wooden frame round it? Looks very handy
Thanks
Thanks buddy. If you’re on Instagram the guys name is @strapsense. 👍🏻
Happy Christmas! - I wish Barker and Jack continued sucess for 2021.
hey what kind of Camera do you use in this video?
I agree, I've never liked the aesthetics of the Hulk - I passed on the opportunity to buy one in 2015 and instead opted for the 114060. I never regretted the decision.
Thank you for this.
Thanks for watching.
Great video Adrian! Perfect subject matter and quite relevant. Cheers!
Thanks Brandon. 👍🏻
Or, if you don't have or want to spend that much money on a green watch: the Alpinist SARB017 is quite green as well. I bought that one and a Guzzi with the money saved. Happy on two fronts!
I couldn't believe it when I got the call last month from my AD to say my new watch was in store for me.
Love my new Kermit, its subtle, and wears fantastically well.
Great video Adrian 👍🏾
Thanks for this comparison.
Green just happens to be my favorite color, if I purchase the green dial Omega Aqua Terra.
Love that green Aqua Terra!
WOW! This was a ballsy vid! I bet many rolex fan boys will rant about you not liking the hulk.
I too do like the “new kermit”
hey adrian i’d love it if you could talk about insurance for your watch and if you’re comfortable if any or all of your watches are insured & maybe talk about how to prevent theft or harm to yourself i know about your 5513 and that harrowing story when you lived back in London. thanks
While watching this video I got the call from my AD, so excited to wear my 2020 Kermit!
Nice review ! I am getting one in Feb 2021 from my AD. Can't wait to wear it ...
Thumbs up :-)
Love the channel, Adrian, can’t believe how much it’s grown over the past year alone, must be because you moved to Scotland 😉. I managed to pick up my new Kermit a few weeks ago from my AD, I’m absolutely in love with it!! Loving the Seamaster by the way, I’m definitely more tempted after seeing it pop up in your videos. Have a great Christmas, sir!
Thanks a lot buddy. And congrats on your new Kermit. It’s such a great watch.
@@BarkandJack cheers fella :).
I have the original Kermit which got in 2009. Wasn't sure at first about buying it, but glad I did.
My favourite Rolex is the explorer 39mm short hands ,next is the 2010 sea dweller, but now I’m a huge fan of the Steinharts ocean 1.
Love the light meter on the left! Is it a Gossen?
Any chance of doing a similar review on the Rolex GMT Pepsi ?
I have the Hulk but I would pick the new Kermit because of the contrast in color and more ergonomic case/bracelet. The original Kermit’s bezel is a scratch magnet. It shows aluminum silver underneath when scratched. I don’t think it would be pleasing to see with multiple scratches over time.
@@thegorn Finally have both
As much as I don't mind all green in Hulk I hate that in certain light it looks faded and bezel is not matching the dial
Thanks for the great video with this 3 beauties 🐸💚🐸. I 💚 the Hulk. The green sunburst dial is just stunning and looks so different depending on the light.
Nice and honest breakdown of the LVs of rolex.
Nice video... I am wondering about the 2021 New Kermit vs New Pepsi, which will you choose. Can you make a video compare these two asap, because I have an offer on the 25th of this month God Willing.
Like the new Kirmet as well. Great video, many thanks!
The original is by far the classiest!! The hulk is fine with me.
I was totally thinking, Adrian how the hell did you get your grubby hands on 3 LVs??
Awesome video ....
PS. The Omega with the white dial looks really cool .... looking at the one on your wrist, I'm almost thinking about pulling the trigger on it.
Also, Foxtrot Oscar ..... lol
Maybe it is because I have the Hulk but it's the blockier 40mm oyster case I like the most.
Sold my Hulk for the exact reasons you mentioned.
og kermit green and size, with all the new tech from the new version incl. the bracelet would be perfect!
The best thing about your Kermit is the scratch on the Aluminium bezel.
I'm no frickin' fan of ceramic.
When I've owned a watch for 25yrs I want it to age with me - and I'm not talking a perfect crystal, bezel and dial with zero patina and a few scratches and nicks on the case.
I want it to patina.
If it were up to me it'd be all domed acrylic and aluminium!
Hey Adrian, what happened to the 'Harrods green' Black Bay you bought about a year ago? I loved that piece!
Sold?
New Kermit is stunning, on another thought, what are your thoughts on the GMT-Master 11’Sprite’
I picked out an SD 43, and then got the new kermit from an AD which was a major surprise, and I prefer the new Kermit. The green just pops, it's a stunning watch.
Nice video, do more like this!
Great vlog
my favourite of those tree is the air-king ;D with a hint of that green ;)
I wish I’d got the OG Kermit back when is came out and I was in the trade... hindsight is a wonderful thing!
Yes! I agree. I have the original 2008 and love it
Mines from 2008 as well 🙌🏻
