Rolex Submariner 116610LV “Hulk” – 40 mm (2015)

Heritage Narrative

Introduced in 2010 and discontinued in 2020, the Submariner 116610LV—universally known as the “Hulk”—stands as one of Rolex’s most recognizable modern references. Its pairing of a vivid green sunburst dial with a matching Cerachrom bezel represented a deliberate departure from the Submariner’s traditional monochrome aesthetic, marking this model as a defining collectible of its era.

Crafted in Rolex’s 904L Oystersteel with a unidirectional bezel engraved in platinum, the reference combines professional-grade diving capability with contemporary design language. The watch is powered by the Calibre 3135, a workhorse movement renowned for stability, accuracy, and long-term serviceability.

This 2015 example presents in excellent condition, complete with original box and booklet. With supply of the 116610LV permanently capped following discontinuation, clean examples with full accessories have become increasingly scarce. The “Hulk” remains a cornerstone modern Rolex—highly wearable, highly liquid, and revered among collectors.
