Price Upon Request

At The Second Hand Club, we are proud to present the watch that succeeded one of the most talked-about Submariners in recent memory: the Rolex Submariner Date reference 126610LV, known among collectors as the "Starbucks." Introduced in 2020 as the replacement for the discontinued "Hulk" 116610LV, the 126610LV pairs a green Cerachrom ceramic bezel with a black dial, a combination that proved immediately more versatile and, for many collectors, more wearable than the all-green configuration it replaced. The case has grown to 41 mm, with redesigned lugs that are slimmer and shorter than the previous generation, and the movement has been upgraded to the Calibre 3235 with its 70-hour power reserve and Chronergy escapement. Finished in Rolex's proprietary 904L Oystersteel and rated to 300 metres of water resistance, the 126610LV Starbucks carries the full mechanical and material substance that has made the Submariner the most recognised dive watch in the world, delivered in the colour combination that defines the current generation. For collectors seeking a pre-owned Rolex Submariner Starbucks for sale, the 126610LV represents the latest chapter in Rolex's longest-running argument that a tool watch can also be the most desirable watch in the room.

About the brand

The Submariner is not Rolex's oldest model, nor its most complicated, nor its most expensive. But it is arguably the watch that best explains why Rolex became Rolex. When the reference 6204 appeared in 1953, rated to 100 metres, it established a template that every dive watch made since has followed in some way: rotating bezel, luminous markers, screw-down crown, water-resistant case. Rolex did not invent the concept of a waterproof watch, but it defined what a dive watch should look like, how it should function, and how durable it needed to be. Seventy years later, the Submariner remains the reference point against which every other dive watch is measured.

The 126610LV sits within this history as both a continuation and a subtle departure. The green bezel Submariner first appeared in 2003 with the "Kermit" 16610LV, produced as a fiftieth-anniversary tribute, and the colour has since become a secondary signature for the collection, distinct from the black-bezel standard bearer but equally iconic. Each generation has refined the execution: from aluminium to Cerachrom bezels, from the 3135 to the 3235 movement, from 40 mm to 41 mm. The changes are incremental, but they accumulate. The 126610LV that a collector buys today is a fundamentally more capable and better-finished watch than the Kermit of 2003, even though both are recognisably the same watch from across a room.

This is what Rolex does. It does not chase trends, launch radical redesigns, or court controversy. It makes the same watches, generation after generation, and makes them incrementally better each time. The Starbucks, with its green Cerachrom bezel and Calibre 3235, is the latest proof that this approach works. The demand speaks for itself. But beyond the market dynamics, the 126610LV earns its position because the watch itself, in the hand, on the wrist, under water, remains exactly what a Submariner should be: the tool watch perfected.

About the watch

The green bezel Submariner has become one of the most charged references in Rolex's modern catalogue. When the 116610LV "Hulk" was discontinued in 2020 after a decade in production, secondary market prices surged, and the question of what would replace it became one of the most discussed topics in the watch community. Rolex's answer was characteristically measured. The 126610LV kept the green bezel but swapped the green dial for black, introduced a larger case with refined proportions, and fitted the latest generation movement. The result was a watch that felt both familiar and new, a continuation of the green Submariner lineage executed with the kind of subtle recalibration that Rolex does better than anyone.

The 41 mm Oystersteel case is the most immediately noticeable change from the previous generation. The increase from 40 mm sounds marginal, and on paper it is, but the redesigned case architecture makes the difference feel more significant than a single millimetre. The lugs are thinner and taper more aggressively toward their tips, which shortens the lug-to-lug measurement to 47.6 mm and gives the watch a sleeker profile on the wrist. The case flanks are slightly broader, and the crown guards have been subtly reshaped. The overall effect is of a watch that wears larger than the outgoing model without feeling heavy or top-heavy. At 12 mm thick, it sits close to the wrist, and the combination of brushed surfaces on the case sides with polished bevels on the lugs creates the kind of light play that photographs rarely capture.

The green Cerachrom bezel insert is the defining visual element, and it is worth examining in detail. Cerachrom is Rolex's proprietary ceramic material, virtually scratch-proof and completely immune to the UV fading that affected the aluminium bezel inserts of earlier Submariner generations. The green is deep and saturated, darker than the Hulk's bezel in most lighting conditions, and it shifts between a rich forest green in shade and a brighter, more vivid tone in direct sunlight. The sixty-minute graduations and numerals are filled with platinum PVD coating, giving them a silvery luminance against the green ground that is sharper and more legible than the older painted markings. The bezel action is precise, with 120 clicks per revolution and zero back-play, a small engineering detail that Rolex executes with a consistency that sets the standard for the industry.

The black dial is where the 126610LV diverges most clearly from its predecessor. The Hulk's green dial, while distinctive, limited the watch's versatility. A green dial with a green bezel is a bold statement; a black dial with a green bezel is something more nuanced. The matte black surface provides high contrast for the applied white gold hour markers and the Chromalight luminous material, which glows blue in darkness. The three lines of text below the Rolex crown logo read "Oyster Perpetual," "Superlative Chronometer Officially Certified," and "Submariner," with the depth rating of 300m printed at six o'clock. The cyclops lens over the date window at three o'clock magnifies the date 2.5 times, a Submariner Date signature since 1969. The combination of black dial and green bezel gives the 126610LV a quality that the all-green Hulk did not quite possess: it can dress up. On a grey suit or against a dark shirt, the green bezel reads as an accent rather than a centrepiece, and the black dial grounds the watch in the kind of quiet versatility that tool watches need if they are going to be worn every day.

The Calibre 3235 represents a generational leap from the 3135 that powered the previous Submariner. Rolex developed the 3235 over a seven-year period, and virtually every component was redesigned. The Chronergy escapement, made from nickel-phosphorus and therefore immune to magnetic interference, is approximately 15 percent more efficient than the Swiss lever escapement it replaces. The mainspring barrel has been redesigned with a new alloy and geometry that extends the power reserve from 48 hours to 70 hours, a meaningful improvement for a watch that might sit unworn over a long weekend. The Parachrom hairspring, made from a niobium-zirconium alloy developed by Rolex, is ten times more resistant to shocks than a conventional hairspring and virtually unaffected by temperature variations. The Paraflex shock absorbers provide an additional layer of impact protection. The movement is certified as a Superlative Chronometer, meaning it meets Rolex's internal standard of plus or minus two seconds per day, twice as strict as the COSC requirement.

On the secondary market, the 126610LV Starbucks has settled into a position of sustained demand. The initial frenzy that accompanied its release, when examples traded at multiples of the retail price, has moderated, but the watch remains one of the most sought-after steel sport references in production. The green bezel Submariner has become a modern icon in its own right, distinct from the standard black-bezel 126610LN and carrying a premium that reflects both its visual distinctiveness and the collector narrative that surrounds it. For those who lived through the Hulk era and watched those prices climb, the Starbucks represents an opportunity to own the current expression of that lineage while the watch is still in production.
