The Rolex Submariner Starbucks brings a green ceramic bezel back together with a black dial—a combination absent from the range while the green-dial Hulk was in production. It gives you the familiar, high-contrast face of a black Submariner, with the color concentrated where it catches the light most readily.
Introduced in 2020, 126610LV belongs to the redesigned Submariner generation: the nominally larger case has slimmer lugs than its predecessor, making the proportions worth trying on rather than judging by diameter alone. The wider bracelet helps the case and bracelet read as one continuous shape.
The choice within this reference is chiefly about green. Earlier examples have a darker bezel; a brighter, more yellow-toned green appeared in 2023, commonly called Mark II by collectors rather than Rolex. Neither changes the basic watch, but the difference is noticeable in daylight—and worth settling if a particular shade drew you to the Starbucks.
What owners love
- The green bezel gives it some color without making the whole watch green. Owners often like that the black dial keeps it more restrained than the Hulk, while the bezel can look dark and subdued indoors and much brighter in sunlight.
- The slimmer lugs make the 41mm case feel less blocky than the previous-generation Submariner. Owners who have worn both often find the Starbucks better proportioned, despite its larger stated diameter.
- Glidelock is something owners actually use: you can make small bracelet adjustments without tools as your wrist changes through the day. It makes getting a comfortable fit much easier than choosing between two imperfect bracelet lengths.
Common Criticisms
- The Glidelock clasp is long, and some owners with smaller wrists find it takes up too much of the underside of their wrist. The adjustment is useful, but the clasp itself can be the least comfortable part of the watch.
