Oystersteel · green dial and bezel · Oyster bracelet · 40 mm
Green on green, discontinued in 2020, and worth more now than the day it left the boutique. The Hulk.
The 116610LV ran from 2010 to 2020 and is the only Submariner to pair a green Cerachrom bezel with a green sunburst dial. Rolex had used a green bezel before, on the 50th-anniversary 16610LV, but that watch had a black dial. Green on green was this reference alone, and when it was discontinued in 2020 it was replaced by the black-dial 126610LV, which the trade promptly named the Starbucks.
It is the 40 mm Maxi case with the broad lugs and crown guards, on calibre 3135 — the long-running Submariner movement, with about 48 hours of reserve rather than the 70 of the current generation. That is the practical trade-off: a thicker, more substantial watch with less running time off the wrist.
Because it is discontinued, this is a secondary-market search from the outset, and condition is doing most of the work. The green dial shows swirls and marks more readily than a black one, and it is worth being specific with us about how tolerant you are.
| 116610LV “Hulk” | 126610LV “Starbucks” | |
|---|---|---|
| Dial | Green sunburst | Black |
| Bezel | Green Cerachrom | Green Cerachrom |
| Size | 40 mm | 41 mm |
| Calibre | 3135, about 48 hours | 3235, about 70 hours |
| In production | 2010 to 2020 | 2020 to present |
The Starbucks is the better movement in the slimmer case. The Hulk is the only Submariner with green on green, and that is why people still ask for it by name.
| 116610LV “Hulk” | 16610LV “Kermit” | |
|---|---|---|
| Dial | Green sunburst | Black |
| Bezel insert | Green Cerachrom | Green aluminium |
| Case | Broad lugs and crown guards | Slim lugs |
| In production | 2010 to 2020 | 2003 to 2010 |
The Kermit was the 50th-anniversary Submariner and the first with a green bezel; the Hulk took the colour onto the dial. Aluminium fades and ceramic does not, which is part of the Kermit's charm and part of the Hulk's appeal.

How tolerant you are on condition, whether a full set with the original card matters, and whether the year is important to you.
Confirmed for each request. The Hulk is traded actively, so availability is usually less of a problem than finding one in the condition you actually want.
Box, warranty card — paper or plastic depending on the year — booklets, tags, the green hang tag and spare links are itemised for the individual watch.
Dial and bezel originality, any refinishing of the case, bracelet stretch, and the service history are set out in writing. On a green dial we photograph the dial under angled light so you can see swirls before you commit.
Send the reference by WhatsApp or the form, with the dial, set and timing that matter to you. A collection or a style is enough to begin.
We go to our network rather than a boutique list, and come back with what is realistic on availability and timing before you commit to anything.
Condition, documents and what accompanies the watch are set out in writing for the individual piece we propose. You decide with the details in front of you.
Bank transfer in any major currency, or crypto. Collection in London or fully insured delivery, agreed for the watch and the destination.
Any brand, any reference, whether or not it appears on this site. Tell us what you have in mind and we take it from there.
The Hulk, 116610LV, has a green dial and a green bezel and was made from 2010 to 2020. The Starbucks, 126610LV, replaced it with a black dial and the same green bezel, in the newer 41 mm case on calibre 3235.
No. It was discontinued in 2020 and has only been available on the secondary market since. It is the one Submariner where discontinuation clearly increased what it sells for.
Swirl marks and uneven lacquer, which show more on green than on black, and whether the dial and hands are original. We photograph the dial under angled light for exactly this reason.
Yes. Bank transfer in any major currency, or crypto; Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum, USDT and other major coins and stablecoins are accepted. The coin, network and amount are confirmed with you before any transfer.
An exact reference or an idea is enough to start the conversation. We will take care of the search and discuss the options with you.
