As I observed, the differences are either bigger, smaller, thicker, thinner, green, black, everything is made in the same way as the Hulk except:

1. Cylops, the Cermit crystal has either NO ar or colorless ar coating

2. SEL, the Cermit endlink is in a 3-pieces structure like the TT Sub

3. Different green color on the ceramic insert but it could be because the Hulk I have is from 2015

Will let you know if I find out more.

I’d say the slight difference in green colour on both watches is more to do with the dial both inserts are next to and the way the eye (and camera) process that colour with the corresponding background/surround Colour information (dial in this case).

You can try to cover the interferences with your hands and compare, my brain still tells me they are different, but at least they are very close so the makers do not have to struggle with the color again. But I believe the sizes are different so if the maker has made thousads of the Hulk bezels and they better start selling fast.

Thanks for the pics, looks great. I love the Hulk, but the Cermit is not that bad at all :p
Fingers crossed for ARF!
Will pull the trigger for sure :)

The xtal on the cermit is taller and up above the bezel compared to the flat xtals on the super case subs.also the extal edge is rounded on the new cermit. Making minute ticks reflect frlm the dial into the xtal edge

At least flush sel is easy to replicate because nearly every factory cant recesses the sel and there always flush lol
But it is not quite Flash what will be even harter to copy die to the needed small tolerances.just look at the sd43

Is the bezel gap going to be that pronounced on the actual watch they are selling and not on the demo ones?

Last Saturday I viewed the genuine new Subs at my AD(sorry no pics, he wouldn’t let me!!!)
Case is way better in profile now and feels the same size in hand.
Dial and bezel fractionally bigger.
Crystal now sits around 1mm higher than insert.
Green is exactly the same as hulk but looks different set against the black dial.
Cyclops still has same ar but is clear and no blue tint as some recent gens.
Biggest difference in feel is the bracelet. It looks bigger than 1mm and feels more solid to me. Recess is fractional now and the no date I viewed had practically flush sels compared to Cermit.
Not sure if I like the shorter crown guards, makes the crown look bigger.
Longer hands are better and the overall watch is a big improvement to me.
High up the list so hopefully I’ll have one in hand soon albeit to sell on quickly!!

For me the no date is the nicest looker and the most balanced visually.
