Tale of Two Greens

Post by rockmastermike » Thu Aug 20, 2020 5:08 pm

some may be interested to see side by side of the Willard and Hulk.

Willard is more OD Green while the Hulk is more royal green if that's even a thing befitting a military look and the rolex look respectively.

these were taken inside and natural light by the window.....outside pictures are tough to use as a comparison as both display a wide dynamic range and I'd never capture all the angles.....and these show more of a baseline green I suppose.

only editing was for dust and white balance

Both great watches, very different approaches to 'green'

No wrong answers here, just two different color philosophies

Seeing these size by side is awesome Mike, and actually is so tough saying
which looks nicer from here. Each of them have their very own personality,
and the green seems to actually fit perfectly. I mean the Hulk is just really
timeless, as well as genuine classic. However when you look at this Seiko,
it looks like a classic in the making with it's green. I'd say that the two of
them are green with greatness !! :grin:

Really appreciate you giving us a look at these beauties. THX so so much !!!
