The only Submariner Rolex ever made with a green dial.
The 116610LV was shown at Baselworld in 2010 and made until 2020. It is the only Submariner with a green dial: a green sunray dial under a green Cerachrom bezel insert with platinum-filled numerals. Crown & Caliber point out that a coloured sunray dial had been seen on two-tone Submariners but never before in steel.
The case is 40 mm, with the broad lugs, wider bezel and heavier crown guards of what collectors call the Super Case, 20 mm between the lugs, on calibre 3135 with about 48 hours of reserve. Every Hulk falls after Rolex began engraving the serial on the inner bezel ring and after serials became random, so each one has the engraved rehaut.
It sits between two green Submariners. Before it, the 16610LV "Kermit" of 2003, the fiftieth-anniversary watch, had a green aluminium insert over a black dial. After it, the 126610LV of 2020 kept the green ceramic bezel, went back to a black dial and moved to 41 mm and calibre 3235. Being discontinued, the Hulk is a secondary-market search, and condition is most of the brief.
