I’ve never been a big Rolex fan, but if I ever bought one it would likely be the Submariner “Hulk”. I love green faced watches. If you were buying a green watch, which one would it be? Rolex Submariner “Hulk”? Tudor “Kermit”? Omega Seamaster green face? Breitling Navitimer green face? Seiko diver green face? Others?

Why did you choose the one you chose?

Datejust and Aqua Terra come to mind. It’s a tight race between the blue and green on the DJ for me though.

Few if any, but I do like the new Rolex DJ green dial -- sadly I just don't care for Rolex much these days.

The Breitling or the Seamaster are the two that I like the best from the pics above…

Hard to tell real colors from pictures obviously but the green on the Navitimer is stunning. Seems to pop more than the others.

The Breitling looks great but I'd go for the Starbucks:

Let’s not forget a more attainable option for those of more modest means… 😁

On a serious note, for some reason the green bezels don’t do it for me. The subdued Tudor is the only one I’m digging. That 5711 though…

The faded Olive on the Tudor matched with the "gilt" dial looks very nice in my opinion. I have to agree with Aroxx. Though I don't really care for the 5711 as it's not my style, the color for that dial is really excellent as well.

I'd say a green crystal counts

I agree. The green dialed and bezeled Glashütte Original SeaQ is incredible. The dial can take many shades of green depending on the light. It is quite amazing really wearing it and seeing the dial change colour conpletely when going from sunlight to the shade. Look at the difference between the three photos

By comparison I find the Hulk a bit boring. I have never been a huge fan of sunburst dials on divers. Although in this photo it looks almost black 🙄

I purchased my black Polaris Date not long before the Green edition came out.
I really dislike this sceletoned hands, i wish they were fully filled just like my black version, but otherwise it looks like a very nice green watch to me. Maybe JLC would be even open to swap the hands if one would ask them politely 😗

Gorgeous watch and photos! Personally I think the skeleton hands look great on this reference

I tried the green SeaQ this summer and thought it was amazeing 👍
The fit and finish of this watch is just stunning, probably the only polarizing part are the numerals on the dial, initially i couldnt stand them, but then started to warm up to this design. I see no reason why somebody would choose a Submariner over the SeaQ.
