        116610LV or simply known as the Hulk.

        The best detail (for me) about this watch is the dial, and how it can shift in colour from a brilliant green to black depending on the light and angle.

        @Tempvs Did you ever hang around at Paneristi? Used to have many of those tuna cans, but I now just have the two. I do wish I'd have kept my 237, but I was paid handsomely for it. Wonderful collection.

          This one is the one I'm lusting after. Green's my favorite color, and there are only so many options in quality watches.

            ^ It's a great watch!

            There's also the Kermit or 16610LV. It has a black dial with a non-ceramic green bezel. It is also very nice.

              Hodinkee released a collaboration with Ressence earlier today. It's sold out, so if you want one (and can afford the $22,500 price tag), tough!

              The watch is a skeletonised Type 1, with a steel case, rather than the standard titanium. This video shows how the time is displayed, which I love.

              There are quite a few comments on the site that Hodinkee are selling out to the industry, but I suspect that they did so a long while back. Someone pointed out that the major watch blogs tend to carry minimal advertising, so someone is paying for the editorial team. So take what they post with a pinch of salt.

                That is very cool.  If I had the cash to spare, I'd be willing to blow it on one of those.

                  How about something cheaper @Giles? 😛

                  Seiko Prospex Diver SLA017 reissue, which should retail for €3800. It's a limited edition, with a movement based off the Grand Seiko line, and possibly sold out already.

                  Details from Monochrome's review. Hodinkee have an announcement, which also includes the modern version of the watch.

                        yeah. the ceremic is 116610LV. the additional 1 in front stands for ceremic. otherwise the single 1 is the kermit. the ceremic green bezel and dial is called the hulk whereas the green bezel and black dial is kermit.

                          I believe the Sea Dweller is my favourite watch. Although the JLC Tribute to Deep Sea is close.

                            @QuantumMechanic nice collection there sir!

                            I have had my eye on a panerai for quite sometime….the 1950 flyback models really peak my interest. However, it's a very hefty price tag.

                                      @Dstauffer thanks. I used to be way more active with collecting watches, kind of got bored with it there for a while because there was a lack of innovation…merely slapping on a different colour dial and calling it a special edition. Richard Mille is one exception that comes to mind.

                                      I still love them all 🙂

                                      The Panerai flybacks are nice. What is it that you like about them, the function, the movement, the look? FWIW Panerai's complicated movements tend not to carry their value as well as their other complications. Have you looked on the second hand market?
