The Rolex Submariner 116610LV is now discontinued from production. The Changes to the Submariner line increased the case size and changed the bracelet, and this model fell out of production. This watch, nicknamed the Rolex Hulk, is one of the most pre-owned Rolex watches in the secondary watch market. It might not be as popular as the superhero after which the watch is named but seeing it on someone’s wrist might make you green with envy.


Speaking of the color green, that’s the reason for the nickname. The bezel and face of the watch are both deep green. Although this green is Rolex’s official brand color, the Hulk only the second model to use it, and the previous model only used green with the bezel. When the Rolex Hulk came out 2010, in had a green face and instantly became a highly desired model.

That isn’t surprising because the Rolex Submariner itself is one of Rolex’s most popular models.
