You are taken the time to flick through all the Hulks here on Chrono24 which means you know all about this watch! You know you want one and more importantly, you know WHY you want one.

As of September the desirability and scarcity of this model has increased due to it being discontinued to make way for the new 41mm, slimmer case Submariner line.

This watch is a true classic. A highly iconic, highly collectible model from Rolex

This isn’t just another watch; it is a symbol of all the extra hours and hard work you’ve put in to reach the milestone in life. This is a statement and a self-certification of how far you have come in life. Congratulations. You deserve it!

When you put this timepiece on, you will realise that everything about this Submariner has been designed for maximum tactile satisfaction. From the moment you push the clasp down on that perfectly fitted oyster bracelet and hear those beautiful two clicks as the clasp locks into place, to that first turn of the bezel, putting on this watch will be truly enjoyable part of your morning routine.

This is an ultra iconic watch from Rolex. It’s more than just a Submariner with a green twist. The glorious dial is complemented by it’s aqua-blue lume, which is a treat come sundown and is just another unexpected element, and a nice touch you will really enjoy. Its finishing is ultra-crisp with meticulously finished details. It’s am exceptionally handsome tool watch.

The green dial is simply stunning, and very dynamic, changing from a bright sunburst green, to a deep dark green depending on the lighting. Rolex achieves this effect by mixing gold dust into the dial paint, so they say. The result is an ever-changing dial, which feels almost seasonal; bright green in the summer time when the sun is shining, and a dark, rich, green on those overcast winter mornings. This dynamism will add to your enjoyment, and as a wearer, you get to enjoy the watch’s mercurial character depending on where you are.

The Oyster Bracelet with the Glidelock feature really is extremely convenient, practical and superb feature that will comes in handy almost daily and is a big part of why this watch is so versatile. It allows the bracelet to be adjusted by approximately 20mm without needing to fiddle with tools, which is especially handy in summer, and for anyone who flies quite a bit.

This watch will become part of your daily being and part of your personality. It is a robust, reliable, good looking daily wear watch that will create conversations and will also make a solid investment.

After achieving significant popularity for the reference 16610LV “Kermit” which was made to celebrate the 50th Anniversary for Submariners in 2003, Rolex decided to release an updated reference – the 116610LV.

Despite having the same diameter, the Hulk features slightly bulkier lugs, a green dial and ceramic bezel.

This watch is not just a classic Submariner which, as you know is one of the most popular and iconic watches in the world – but a striking and highly collectible variant edition. The watch is easily recognisable thanks to its rare green bezel and dial, causing collectors to give it the affectionate nickname “Hulk”, a name that has never been used by Rolex themselves, but rather by collectors who have seen similarities between the green dial and green bezel, with the Hulk.

The LV in the reference itself stands for Lunette Vert (“Green Bezel”).

This reference was released in 2010 to present.

The Rolex Submariner is a highly sought after watch by enthusiasts around the world, both for its incredible dive watch functionality and its timeless style.
