The 116610LV is the green-dial, green-bezel Submariner Date that collectors call the Hulk. Rolex introduced it in 2010 alongside the black 116610LN, replacing the 16610LV "Kermit." It ran until 2020, when the 126610LV "Starbucks" took over. Mechanically, the Hulk is the same watch as the 116610LN. The difference is color, and color is what defines the reference and its market. | The 116610LV is the green-dial, green-bezel Submariner Date that collectors call the Hulk.
