The Hulk's successor: green bezel, black dial. Launched hot, cooled with the market, now steady at roughly 40 percent over retail.
When this one is eventually discontinued, the Kermit and Hulk playbooks both say the same thing.
The Starbucks: green bezel over black dial, the Kermit formula reborn in ceramic for the Submariner's return to green. The nickname wars (Starbucks, Cermit, Kermit II) were half the fun of its 2020 launch.
Green Subs have a perfect track record: both predecessors (Kermit and Hulk) appreciated after discontinuation. This one is still in production, which makes it the only green Sub you can buy at something near retail and wait.
Our verdict: Hold pattern with a known catalyst. The anniversary-green Sub lineage has never lost money long-term.
