Gen Rolex Hulk (116610LV) as daily watch?

[arebee]

Thoughts on this as a daily watch? I've been eyeing this watch for a while, would like to hear your pros and cons.

I keep my gens under lock and key and wear them only on special occasions . ... and wear the rep with no worries.

What do you think about the hulk with suits?

 

[mydnytrydr]

...you can wear ANY Rolex with a suit, inmo ...... it's a Rolex!

What's your long term plans for the Hulk? Are you thinking of it as an investment that will get you your money back, or turn a profit? Using it as a daily beater will hurt the long term value, no doubt.

If investment is not a concern, the watch will certainly hold up to daily use.

Not concerned with an investment. Want a daily sporty rolex that is not as popular. You rarely see a hulk/suit combo -- just dont want to be too flashy.

HA! I store my Gens for special occasions and wear my reps all the time as well

Once you lay eyes on your wrist with a gen, nothing is the same...

true that!

And this may sound snobbish but here I go anyway:
If you are stressing to wear your Xk$ watch then maybe a gen is not for you, it was made to be worn!

I am planning to buy a new gen in the coming year and guess what, it will be the 116610LV!
I am in suit all week and more casual (chinos etc... ) on the weekend, not scared of how it will look since I tried the gen, this thing is amazing!
So go on and I will not be far behind unk:

Wear what you want. I've been into watches for a long time and it's my experience that unless it's someone who knows your into watches, 99.99% of people won't notice your watch, much less care if it "goes" with a suit or jeans!

As as far as not wearing your Gen as a daily wearer, why? That's what it's for, it wants to be worn! I personally would never own a watch, rep or gen that I was afraid to wear! My .02

Edit. I do make choices on which watch I'm going to wear based on planned activity, won't wear my GS or gen Omega or Rolexs, etc while building a new deck or working on car. Never based on clothes though.

and by the way, unless your buying very exotic, rare pieces, watches are a horrible investment! If your looking for an investment, your much better off with a good mutual fund or something similar. Your Rolex will hold its value better than most, but that's it. Rolex produces and sell about 1,000,000 watches a year, impossible for them to all go up in value!

I don't think he is talking about the usage or wear and tear. Or if its positive to wear a gen as a daily driver.
I rather think he is asking about the MODEL since it's a tad fancy with its green dial and bezel. And if it would be appropriate to wear it as a daily watch.

Anyway. If you want a sporty watch then the sub is a nice choice. Maybe look into the Gmtc or the 116622(blue dial). I haven't seen many yachtmasters nowadays. I don't think the green is a problem. Stainless steel is still timeless and it draws attention which is nice

I usually wear my hulk rep with scrubs and every now and then with a suit.
