Rolex Sub 116610LV and 16610LV
Discussion
Currently looking at picking up my first Rolex for my 30th.
Anyone owned both and have any thoughts?
Starting to sway more towards fhe hulk after seeing it in reality. Studio pics really don't do it justice!
How does the ceramic wear and is it durable? I've seen a lot of kermits are quite beat now and the bezels are getting expensive from Rolex for new ones. I'm worried that the hulk may chip over time?
Have there been any changes to the hulks since introduction? I know there's a couple of versions of the Kermit with the engraving etc. I find them all as attractive as each other to be honest, but any versions more desirable than others? Slightly worried about bezel swaps on the Kermit too as I believe the papers were identical to the blacks?
Where should I be looking to pick one up safely with no worries of fakes? Guessing round about 5.5 is reasonable money and what I should be aiming for? Retail on the hulk is 6.6 but assuming they trade under after having a quick look around the euro market.
Thanks for any help and advice!

He's got one in but it's 7.4. How many people are paying over just to not wait a little while?! Mad. Makes sense for mega rare hard to get stuff but this is just pretty standard.
Ellroy, what do you think of yours?
Thanks for the advice so far guys! Gonna call WoS and see how long their lead time on one is.

Thanks for all the advice and help.
I went for the Hulk in the end! It seems the Kermit will be more valuable in the future but I want to wear it all the time and the ceramic and better strap made it more sensible for me to enjoy constantly. Plus I love the jazziness of the green face in reality. It really changes when you're out in the sun. A little bit more jazzy and right up my street. No point thinking about residuals if I want to keep it forever I don't think
Massive massive thanks to the couple of members who Emailed me with help of a hook up. I'm really glad to have dodged that stupid 2 year wait list or the possibility of paying overs!
Arrives June or July, just in time for my 30th birthday at the beginning of August. Excited as hell!
