The Rolex Submariner Hulk pairs a green ceramic bezel with a green sunburst dial that shifts from near-black to vivid emerald as the light moves. Its broad lugs and substantial crown guards give it a muscular presence, but that changing dial is what makes it more than simply a green Submariner.
Introduced in 2010 and discontinued in 2020, 116610LV is the reference to know: unlike the earlier 16610LV, nicknamed the Kermit, it carries green across both bezel and dial. Its successor returned to a black dial, leaving the Hulk with a distinct place in the family. There’s no separate generation to hunt within this reference; focus instead on whether you enjoy its broad-shouldered case on the wrist. The Oyster bracelet’s Glidelock clasp allows fine adjustment without tools. One particular detail worth examining is the green ceramic bezel insert: chips or cracks matter, and replacement is not a trivial undertaking.
What owners love
- The green sunburst dial is the part owners keep coming back to: it can look almost black indoors, then turn bright emerald in sunlight. The green ceramic bezel doesn't change in quite the same way, so the two can look surprisingly different depending on the light.
- The Glidelock clasp makes it easy to get the bracelet fitting just right as your wrist changes through the day. You can make small adjustments without tools rather than putting up with a fit that's slightly too tight or loose.
- Owners appreciate the familiar, dependable 3135 underneath the unusual dial. It gives the Hulk a straightforward everyday character despite the attention its colour attracts.
Common Criticisms
- The broad lugs and crown guards make this 40mm case look and feel chunkier than the diameter suggests. Some owners find the squared-off proportions less graceful than those of earlier Submariners.
- The bezel's green can look pale or a little milky in certain light, especially beside the richer dial. Even owners who love the watch sometimes wish the two greens matched more closely.
- The all-green combination isn't as easy to wear unobtrusively as a black Submariner. Some owners find it draws more attention than they want or feels less versatile with what they wear.
