Submariner Hulk

The Rolex Submariner “Hulk” (ref. 116610LV) has earned a cult following for its striking green sunburst dial and matching Cerachrom bezel, a bold departure from the Submariner’s traditional black. Introduced in 2010, it quickly became a standout in the lineup, celebrated both for its unique colorway and its status as the only Submariner to feature this combination. Discontinuation in 2020 has only heightened demand, making it a modern classic with strong collector appeal.

This model features a 40mm Oystersteel case and is powered by the dependable Caliber 3135 automatic movement, offering a 48-hour power reserve and 300 meters of water resistance. The solid-link Oyster bracelet and Glidelock clasp provide comfort and adjustability, while the green ceramic bezel is scratch- and fade-resistant. The “Hulk” nickname distinguishes it from the earlier green-bezel/black-dial “Kermit” (ref. 16610LV), which is often confused with this later all-green version.

Price variation among 116610LV examples is driven by condition, completeness (box, papers, tags), and production year. Early models and those with stickers or unworn condition command a premium. Service history and presence of original accessories are important, but there are no well-known issues with aftermarket parts or dial variations that affect value on this reference. The “Hulk” remains a strong choice for anyone seeking a Submariner that stands out while retaining all the practicality and engineering Rolex is known for.
