fidhle007 Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Hi Guys!I'm thinking it's time to pull the trigger on a SubC now that the BP maker subs seem to have come up to my standards. They will not be without mods I'm sure but I need to decide what to start with! I'm looking for opinions from you guys who have seen the BP Ceramics: Which is better, the Hulk or the Black sub? I already have a 16800 and a 16610 so an 116610 would be a nice compliment to it's two older brothers but on the other hand, St Paddy's is coming up and being a fiddle player I have several gigs that I could wear my Hulk to!So what do you guys think, Black or Green?Thanks!Brendan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fidhle007 Posted February 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Haha, I like your point! Plus, this thread has me all hot and bothered: http://www.rwgforum.net/topic/154790-trustys-ceramic-black-submariner-arrived-wow/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fidhle007 Posted February 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 I have an extra gen crown in my toolbox (the proper 704 monoblock one too!) that would really set that watch off! I've been looking at some pictures of the gen and it honestly doesn't look like the crown guards will need that much modding, just a tube that pushes the crown out half a mm or so and a gen crown and you'd have a solid watch!

fidhle007 Posted February 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Does anyone have any pics of a BP hulk they could post up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigfrieds Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 choose the black, the noob factory 16610LN v2 is better than the 16610LV (incorrect bezel color), the TW factory 16610LV's bezel color is better, but the font contain some problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sigfrieds Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 I'm talking about the BP maker ceramic offerings though... sorry for the ceramic sub, this one is the best version I ever got, font and hands are better than the N-factory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 i saw a genuine green ceramic yesterday at a Rolex dealer . I was in a hurry and really didn't get to handle it. Looks pretty nice, but my feeling it's a watch that would not get a lot of wear. One of these is fine for the Rolex owner that has lots of money and several other Rolex watches to wear. personally, It's not for me, but then, very few of the newer models appeal to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielv2000 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Love the hulk. We all own too many black face watches! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilseam Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 Hulk for me. The change of colour is welcome in my collection and this and the Milgauss get the most wrist time. Mine is the Noob version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redxds Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Nice Hulk! But for my first, I will have to go with black. But man that green looks strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedy1969 Posted March 3, 2013 Report Share Posted March 3, 2013 Go for the black, 007. I have to agree with sigfrieds. Like you I was also interested in the new BP hulk subc. Unfortunately though, after looking at the rep and gen side by side, its very noticeable that the although the dial color is spot on, the bezel color is incredibly off. Imo it makes the finish look grainy and rather cheap. I'm going for the black myself, and as for the pics that sigfriends posted, that's pretty much the closest to gen you're going to get. Personally I don't think the new BP needs any mods whatsoever, unless of course you're one of those that is a true aficianado. In that case, I suggest the bezel mod, just to make the markers a nice platinum finish. But that's ALL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
