Rolex Submariner Date “Hulk”

Introduced in 2010 and discontinued in 2020, the Rolex Submariner Date “Hulk” (Ref. 116610LV) stands as one of the most defining modern iterations of Rolex’s professional dive lineage. Its fully green configuration—sunburst dial paired with a matching green Cerachrom bezel—shifted the Submariner’s visual language from purely functional to unmistakably contemporary, turning the reference into a cultural touchpoint among collectors of sports watches.

Beyond its aesthetic signature, the 116610LV is anchored in the technical credibility that made the Submariner the benchmark: a 40 mm Oystersteel case engineered for 300 meters of water resistance, a unidirectional Cerachrom bezel built for durability and color stability, and the Calibre 3135—one of Rolex’s most respected workhorse movements—rated to the brand’s Superlative Chronometer standard. The green sunburst dial is not merely a color choice; its shifting tones, from deep forest to bright emerald depending on light, are central to the reference’s desirability and immediate recognizability.

This example is stated to originate from Orlando, Florida, is in excellent condition, and is accompanied by an official Rolex warranty and its original set, elements that materially strengthen collectability, liquidity, and long-term confidence. With production having ended, availability is finite and demand has remained structurally strong on the secondary market; according to WatchCharts data commonly cited for this reference, average prices have shown notable appreciation over recent years, supporting its profile as a museum-grade modern classic with clear market relevance for collectors who value both icon status and disciplined acquisition logic.
