Rolex Submariner (Green Bezel, Black Dial): First Impressions and Nickname Debate

Key Points from the Discussion

• The new Submariner's wearability is noted as an improvement for those who found the previous 'Hulk' reference overpowering, making it suitable for a wider range of wrists.
• The community actively debates appropriate nicknames for the green bezel, black dial Submariner, with 'Cermit,' 'Green Lantern,' and 'Starbucks' being popular suggestions.
• A strong argument is made against the 'Starbucks' nickname, citing its lack of connection to the watch's character, color scheme (green and black, not green and white), and the perceived corporate, generic nature of the brand, which contrasts with the refinement valued by watch purists.
• Alternative nicknames like 'Ninja' or 'Green Lantern' are proposed, emphasizing the green and black color combination and aligning with the tradition of previous green Submariner nicknames like 'Kermit' and 'Hulk'.
• The new reference is described as both classy and quirky for a Rolex, suggesting a unique aesthetic appeal.
