How did I find my way to the Rolex Submariner Hulk? Well when I first got into “nice watches” a few years ago, I was attracted to the aesthetics of dive watches. After hanging around watch forums for some time, I found out about the Rolex submariner and I immediately fell in love. I finally bought one a year later which was the 114060 A.K.A the modern “no date” submariner or it’s even just called the submariner. It was the most expensive and the nicest watch that I had ever owned.

I knew about the green one called “the hulk” from the forums but I had never seen one in person. That was until I was in Melbourne exploring many of the watch stores and one of the staff members was wearing one. I asked to try it on. Seeing the dial change in different lighting was spectacular and I told myself that I had to own one in the future. Suddenly my black submariner looked boring and pedestrian.

Fast forward a few years and I managed to get one. I wore it for a few weeks straight. The dial is just mesmerizing to look at under bright sunlight but my favourite shade of the dial is when it looks deep green under lower lighting. This watch is all about the dial.

Just a quick rundown on the rest of the watch. It is the most iconic dive watch with a solid bracelet, great bezel action and pretty good lume.  A game changing slidelock micro adjust system on the clasp. I wish the 3135 movement had a longer power reserve but I can live with that. If there’s a watch that I would pick as my only watch for the rest of my life, the Rolex Submariner Hulk would be it. Oh and it looks great on a white rubber strap too!
