Rolex Submariner Date 116610LV

The nickname comes from the combination of the green sunburst dial and matching green ceramic bezel. That colour pairing gave the watch a much bolder identity than a standard Submariner and made it one of the easiest Rolex references to recognise at a glance.

Yes, very much so. Its discontinuation is a major part of the appeal, especially for buyers who want the last green Submariner with this exact dial and bezel combination rather than the model that followed it.

For some buyers it is a bolder choice, but that is exactly why others want it. It still has the familiar Submariner shape and versatility, just with far more personality than the usual black-dial version.

It can comfortably be both. The Hulk has genuine collector demand, but it is still built as a modern Submariner, so it has the robustness and practicality many buyers want for regular wear.

Yes. Buyers often like mid-to-later production examples because they still belong to the discontinued 116610LV generation while feeling modern enough in specification and wearability.

Yes, they do. On a high-demand reference like this, complete presentation helps support buyer confidence and can make an example more attractive than one missing key original items.

Yes. The green dial and bezel give it a much more distinctive look, which is why it appeals to buyers who want the familiarity of a Submariner but not the most predictable version.

Because the 116610LV has its own identity in the Rolex market. Buyers know it as the Hulk, and many specifically want that discontinued reference rather than any later green Submariner variation.
