The market position is straightforward: the last 40mm ceramic Submariner Date in steel, sitting between the 16610 era and the current 41mm 126610LN. The successor’s 41mm case and caliber 3235 (70-hour power reserve, Chronergy escapement) are meaningful upgrades, but close enough that many buyers are satisfied with current production — which keeps the 116610LN premium moderate compared to the Hulk. Collectors who specifically want the 40mm case size or consider caliber 3135 proven and sufficient have a fixed supply to draw from.
