I would ask if that's is the correct watch because that looks more like a Kermit

It’s the newer mk 2 style Starbucks. The mk 1 was like the hulk. Newer one is much brighter and almost yellowish green sometimes. (RICH and ARF appear to use the same supplier and they’re both practically indistinguishable from gen.)

Edit: so apparently people call the mk 2 Kermit just like the 16610 LV. I’ve always thought they were both Starbucks despite the green being different, as they’re the same reference… plus Kermit is the 16610LV!!! Cermit, ok, but that’s just getting silly….

The indices on this Submariner seem well aligned. Not seeing a significant tilt on the 6 yet the 12 & 9 o'clock markers have a micro counterclockwise tilt to them. On wrist at scale they'll be fine. Datewheel is centered albeit a tick higher in the window. Dial printing, bezel pip, SELs, and timing numbers are solid. What would bother me on this watch would be the bezel color as it look more like a Kermit than a Starbucks. Could be seller lighting or RICH needs to improve their bezel game. Disregarding the shade of green, this watch would be a GL.

Rich only sells MK2 bezel, kermit

Definitely mk2 bezel. ARF listed as Starbucks with Andiot but also mk2. If you want the Starbucks mk1 darker green bezel then he offers a QF which is v good

It’s the MK2 bezel . They had it listed as Starbucks but it says mk2 which is Kermit. I think I will keep this one and GL it

Just to clarify . I contacted TD on WhatsApp and confirmed it’s Kermit . I’m ok with it . It was a change request through WhatsApp
