Rolex Submariner Date ‘Hulk’ Reference 116610LV

This is a 2016 Rolex Submariner Date, popularly known as the 'Hulk' due to its distinctive green dial and green ceramic bezel. The timepiece features a 40mm 'Super Case' constructed from 904L stainless steel, characterized by broader lugs and a thicker profile than previous generations. It is equipped with a matching green sunburst dial that transitions in shade depending on lighting conditions, featuring Chromalight lume plots for visibility in low light. The unidirectional rotating bezel contains a green Cerachrom insert with platinum-coated graduations. It is currently shown with a detached stainless steel Oyster bracelet featuring a Glidelock extension system on the clasp and is fitted with an aftermarket green rubber strap. The dial contains the signature Rolex text, crown logo, and 'Submariner' branding in white. Notable condition details include visible scratches and scuffs on the Oyster bracelet links and the inner folding clasp mechanism, suggesting frequent wear. The watch head shows minor surface scratches on the lugs, though the sapphire crystal and ceramic bezel appear structurally intact. This model is highly sought after by collectors as it was discontinued in 2020, representing a specific era of Rolex design and the first time the Submariner featured a matching green dial and bezel combination.
