Gary_g's post beautifully captures the Rolex Submariner 116610LV, affectionately known as 'The Hulk,' in its element during a trip to Aruba. This series of vibrant wristshots highlights the watch's dynamic green dial, a feature that continues to fascinate collectors and spark discussion about its unique chameleon-like qualities under different lighting conditions. His post serves as a reminder of the joy of wearing a beloved timepiece in picturesque settings.










The Submariner Date reference 116610LV, introduced in 2010, is distinguished by its vibrant green dial and matching green Cerachrom bezel. This model replaced the previous 16610LV, known as the "Kermit," and marked a significant update to the Submariner line with its "Maxi Case" and ceramic bezel insert. It represents a modern interpretation of the Submariner, offering enhanced durability and a distinct aesthetic within the collection.
This reference features an Oystersteel case measuring 40mm in diameter, housing the automatic Caliber 3135. The movement provides a power reserve of approximately 48 hours. The watch is fitted with a sapphire crystal that includes a Cyclops lens over the date display, and it is water-resistant to 300 meters. The unidirectional rotating bezel is crafted from green Cerachrom ceramic, known for its scratch resistance and color stability.
Appealing to collectors interested in modern Rolex sports watches with a unique colorway, the 116610LV is often referred to as the "Hulk" due to its green coloration. It stands out from the more traditional black or blue Submariner models, offering a bolder visual presence. This reference was produced for a decade, becoming a notable entry in the Submariner's evolution before its discontinuation.
Dial varies a lot in this selection 👌🏻 fabulous postcards indeed.
One of the reasons I love Rolex green.
Wish I was there! 😂 Crazy how the hulk can look like the Starbucks / Kermit in some lighting conditions.
I had a Starbucks for a short while and sold it bc I thought it was too similar and larger.
Haven’t been there since I married my lovely bride in 1991.
