Produced from 2010-2020, the Hulk has captivated collectors and enthusiasts alike, especially with some later models re-dated to 2021 by ADs—making these editions rare treasures. Origins and Successors: The Hulk's predecessor, the "Kermit" (ref. 16610V), first introduced a green bezel in 2003 for the Submariner's 50th anniversary. The Hulk itself paved the way for the "Starbucks" (ref. 126610LV), launched in 2020, with a new 41mm case and upgraded 3235 movement. Dial Variants (Marks): Collectors often debate the Hulk’s subtle dial variations: Mark 1: 2010-2015 Mark 2: 2013-2016 Mark 3: 2016-2020 Mark 4: 2018-2020 (some dispute this, attributing differences to manufacturing variances) Let us know in the comments if you'd like a detailed episode exploring these variations! Key Features: Case Size: 40mm Movement: 3135, with a 42-hour power reserve Glidelock Clasp: Essential for comfort, especially if your wrist swells like mine! Market Value: A few years ago, Hulks fetched prices nearing $30k at peak, 3x over MSRP due to market inflation. Currently, you can find them from $15-25k depending on condition and production year, with pristine models (NOS) reaching higher. Expect to pay around $18k for a well-maintained Hulk. Final Thoughts: The Hulk ranks among my top two Submariners, and I give it a 9.7 out of 10. Will it hit $100k someday? Maybe—if you’re lucky enough to own a 2020 or 2021 Hulk and can hold onto it for a few decades, its value may surprise you!
