Explore the Rolex Submariner 'Starbucks' (ref. 126610LV) with collector ZSHSZ. Compare it to the 'Hulk' and 'Kermit,' and discuss current AD experiences.

ZSHSZ's latest acquisition, a Rolex Submariner 'Starbucks,' sparks a timely discussion on the evolving landscape of luxury watch retail. His post not only showcases the watch but also delves into the nuanced relationship between collectors and authorized dealers. This article explores ZSHSZ's personal take on the 'Starbucks' versus 'Hulk' debate and synthesizes community reactions to the current state of Rolex availability.

Key Points from the Discussion

The Rolex Submariner 'Hulk' (ref. 116610LV) is considered the best aesthetic interpretation of green Submariners, while the anniversary model (ref. 16610LV 'Kermit') holds greater historical significance.
The 'Starbucks' Submariner (ref. 126610LV) offers a more subdued green compared to the 'Hulk,' making it a more versatile choice for some collectors.
Acquiring multiple desirable Rolex references in quick succession is a rare occurrence, often likened to waiting for London buses where several arrive at once after a long wait.
Some collectors express frustration with the perceived lack of availability and the unwelcoming attitude from authorized dealer staff when inquiring about watches.
The expectation of immediate availability for highly sought-after watches is no longer realistic in the current market.

You're on a roll my friend -- great when Rolex (and an AD) reward their good customers! ;-) And this is one of the rare pics where I can see the difference between this new 41mm and the Anniversary Kermit! ;-)) Enjoy.

I promised that I will thank them trough emails from now on, it’s to dangerous to walk in...

In my humble opinion, the Hulk is the best interpretation of the green Subs, but as significance the anniversary is the one to have, period. As for the Hulk, I loved it, and still do, but it was just a bit to loud for my personality, but this one fits right in Have a great weekend my friend!🥂😎
