I think Rolex's decision to update the Submariner was a great one. The new 126610 case shape is far more elegant than the outgoing bulky "maxi" case and restores the symmetry and proportions last seen in the pre-ceramic era. The slimmer lugs and wider strap look perfect.
What I don't agree with was their decision to replace the all-green LV, which boasts a stunning dial that pictures rarely do justice to, with the black/green Kermit. This combo is just wrong in my eyes and the green bezel without the corresponding dial makes for a very weak substitute.
My question is, would it be possible to make a "Hulk" with the 126610 body? Given the new "41mm" and the previous "40mm" only differ in reality by half a millimetre, could the Hulk dial sit in the new case with some coaxing, or are there other differences that make this impossible? I'd love a 126610 Hulk!
