The Rolex Submariner 116610LV is a 40mm stainless steel dive watch. It wears a vivid green dial and a green ceramic Cerachrom bezel. Collectors call it the 'Hulk,' and the nickname fits.
This review covers what the 116610LV is, what its specs mean on the wrist, and what to check before you buy. Everything here comes from the example we source at Bizak and Co., offered at $22,190 as a pre-owned full-set piece.

What the specs mean on the wrist
The case is 40mm stainless steel on an Oyster bracelet. That size sits on most wrists without feeling oversized. The movement is automatic, so daily wear keeps it wound. Water resistance is rated to 300 meters, which is far beyond what most owners will ever need.
The green Cerachrom bezel is ceramic, so it resists scratches and UV fade. The green dial and green bezel form a matching combination Rolex used only on this reference. Rolex has since moved on to a 41mm successor, so this all-green pairing no longer exists in current production.
The dealer’s take
Buyers who ask for the 116610LV by name usually know exactly what they want. They know it has been discontinued in this form. They ask about the full set, and they ask whether the box and papers are original. This example comes with both.
The other question we hear is about condition. Pre-owned Submariners live hard lives. Buyers want to know about bezel wear, bracelet stretch, and service history. Those are the right questions to ask, and we cover them in the section below.
What to check before you buy a Submariner
- Box and papers: This example is listed as a full set. Confirm the reference on the papers matches the caseback and that the box is correct for this reference before you commit.
- Bezel condition: The green Cerachrom bezel is ceramic and resists scratches well, but check for chips around the insert edge. A chipped bezel is expensive to replace.
- Bracelet stretch: Oyster bracelets on worn Submariners often show link stretch. Pull the clasp open and check for play in the links. Excessive stretch is a sign of heavy use.
- Service history: Ask when the watch was last serviced and by whom. A Rolex service record adds confidence. No paperwork does not disqualify a watch, but factor in the cost of a future service.
Who the 116610LV is for
The 116610LV suits the buyer who wants a discontinued Rolex Submariner in the original 40mm case with the full all-green look that Rolex no longer makes. It works as a daily sport watch and as a collector piece. You need to be comfortable with pre-owned, and you need to verify the full set is genuine.
Alternatives worth considering
- Rolex Submariner 116610LN — Buyers who want the same 40mm generation but prefer a black dial and bezel often cross-shop this reference.
- Rolex Submariner 124060 — Buyers open to the current no-date 41mm model sometimes compare it when deciding between generations.
