You should note the dial as "Mk2 gen dial."
Beautiful build. Bravo. 👏
Yes bro :)
I searched madly for mk2, for me the most beautiful dial Hulk...
MK1 and MK2 (short ft) both mount the MK1 bezel (dials have 3 marks the bezels instead only 2 marks) I think the coloring of the MK2 dial is more in harmony with the color of the MK1 bezel.

With the release of the MK3 dial (dark green) in 2016 they introduced the MK2 bezel (also darker, grey/green) but this latest version seems to me to be too close to the reps :)))))))

Definitely Hulk Mk1 and Mk2 dials are the way to go, so you can actually see the green. More pronounced on the Mk1, but as you said, it's not in harmony with the bezel insert.

By the way, I prefer the Mk1 "short f " "1000 ft / 300 m" dials on all the 11 series Submariners. More character.

Also, I didn't know about the bezel insert having an mk1/mk2. Wow. Thanks for sharing that knowledge.
Once again... Beautiful build! 👏

My Batman with new case...CF V2 is a perfect case for 116710, less thin than the V1 and above all with the oblique CGs like the gen. But to have perfect sels you need to add an Oyster CF V1, V2 bracelet has too flush sel.

...last arrived! :)


This specific watch, also from Nikz? If so, I’m certain this was the built that fully inspired me to have my DJ41, Blue Roman built. All gen other than the case, bracelet, and some of the movement.

Are there firm year cut offs for MKI and MKII from 2010-2016? Which insert did you purchase, MKI?
