The Hulk has sunburst dial Smurfs dial is flat blue

Cookie Monster followed by Cermit/Starbucks, the play on black dial makes it for me

I had the Hulk and wore it for about a year as a daily watch. When I started to get other Rolexes, and wore them on rotation, I realised how “Green” the Hulk looked, and it fell out of favour. I now have the Smurf and sold the Hulk to partly fund this. What I would say is that I spent a lot of time wishing for and visualising owning the Smurf, but now I have it, it’s just a watch! It is beautiful though and not too ostentatious.

I love my smurf . The blue really pops with the white gold. But I always love blue.

Great summary. Thank you!

I'm very torn but I think I like the new WG 126619LB the best... it's the perfect balance ... I think the original Smurf is too much..

Amazing video. 👏

All Beauties, worth every penny! The Best of all Rolex models, great review! I love them all!

Great video...nicely done! Effective June 2023 the Cermit has a new "MK II Bezel" with a more yellow hue to the green. I've seen side-by-side photos and there's a distinct difference. Make sure you ask which specific bezel any 2023 Cermit you consider buying has. I actually like both MKI and MK II Cermit shades of green...it's all personal preference.

Nothing beats the iconic original black dial black bezel combo; that's the only sub I want 😁👍

Hulk - the best looking dial Rolex ever produced

Hulk #1 absolutely

Nice job

I have the Kermit and the Smurf. I love both of them.

My pick would be the excact opposite:) Smurf>Cookie Monster>Cermit>Hulk

dont put watches like that especially the precious metal pieces get scratches very easily I never would choose any of those green stainless subs above the white gold ones. White gold is just way more classy and special and reflects the origin character of the luxury brand rolex

Nice to see the watches, most of these videos its 90 % of ugly mug and 10% watch. Thanks 👍

The surf all bleu, all White gold, love it but out of price for me.

The smurf price has come down quite a bit now from the high, but even in the mid $30s, it's definitely still out of range for most folks.

It’s an obvious difference when you own them both. The 41 is much more refined and wears better on the wrist similar to the sleeker lug vintage models before the super case 40mm that’s a more boxy version of the sun. No shade intended, it’s just an obvious difference when wearing both. The 41 is just more balanced.

Amazing watches, all of them! I got the 'Cermit' or 'Starbucks' about 15 days ago and I really love it! My next and big goal is the 'cookie monster', I just now learned this name. I only knew it as 'blueberry', but I like the Muppet Show's name better, it's more funny and playful. I love Rolex white - or actually grey - gold and the 126619LB is about 235 grams! I like heavy but not large and thick pieces. Thanks for the review!

Hard to get access to all the varieties at once since I don't work in the watch industry, but the bluesy is certainly a very nice piece.

To think i was looking at a Hulk for just over €10k before conjob19 and didn't pull the trigger on it, they be going for North of 20 now🤢

Not the same, while they are both white gold, Smurf has blue dial and blue bezel. Blueberry only has the blue bezel but the dial color is black. The Blueburry is still available for purchase (as of February 2024) but the Smurf has been discontinued in 2020.

You gotta give them a good bit of movement when they’ve been sitting a while to get them started up again. You can tell by the sheen of the WG models that they’re definitely white gold, and the dials are much to crisp to be fakes.

Yeah i don't understand why anyone gets the white gold b/c it lost indistinguishable between the steel. Perhaps the finish but most people would see that and be like it's steel. Yellow gold or rosegold is the only thing i'd consider buying b/c yeah you wear a rolex b/c it's nice but also b/c you want people to know you're wearing a 40k watch.

@kelbyvaldez4141

You say that until you actually put on a solid yellow, or rose gold Rolex and see how noticeable it is and get concerned about someone seeing it that might think about taking it. White gold is a connoisseur’s watch who’s wearing it for himself instead of showing off and not having to risk wearing a $40k+ target on his wrist. I love yellow, and rose, but just too risky to wear everywhere these days. The WG provides stealth while also getting to feel the weight/warmth of gold on the wrist. Also anyone in the know will know what you’re wearing is WG and those are really the only ones that matter when your watch is getting noticed.
