Rolex Submariner Date 126610LV

About This Watch

The Rolex Submariner Date 126610LV, often called the "Starbucks" by collectors, replaced the beloved "Hulk" (116610LV) in 2020. It features a striking green Cerachrom ceramic bezel paired with a black dial, a departure from its predecessor's all-green combination. This model carries forward Rolex's tradition of green-bezeled Submariners that began with the 50th anniversary "Kermit" (16610LV) in 2003. Powered by the caliber 3235 with Rolex's patented Chronergy escapement, it delivers a 70-hour power reserve with exceptional precision, chronometer-certified to -2/+2 seconds per day. The green bezel is achieved through a proprietary process that deposits a thin layer of green PVD coating on the ceramic, creating a vibrant yet sophisticated look. The 41mm Oystersteel case maintains the Submariner's classic proportions while offering a slightly more contemporary presence on the wrist. The combination of the green bezel and black dial gives it a more versatile appearance than the all-green Hulk, making it suitable for both casual and formal settings. This reference commands a significant premium on the secondary market, often trading at nearly double its retail price, making it one of the most sought-after modern Rolex models.
