Rolex Submariner Hulk Green

Nicknamed the "Hulk" for its monochrome green dial and matching green Cerachrom bezel, reference 116610LV was produced in a 40mm Oystersteel case and has become one of the most requested discontinued Submariner references on the resale market since Rolex retired it from the catalogue entirely. The green used across dial and bezel is a genuinely saturated, almost enamel-like shade rather than the more muted tones Rolex has used on other green-dial pieces released before or since, which is part of why the nickname stuck so firmly among collectors worldwide.

Because 116610LV sat in the smaller 40mm case size before the line moved to 41mm, it wears noticeably more compact on the wrist than the current-generation Submariner, which is part of why the reference still attracts buyers who prefer the older proportions over the newer, larger case Rolex now produces. The maxi case and broader lugs from this generation remain visually distinct from both the pre-ceramic Submariners that came before it and the current model that eventually replaced it in the catalogue.

With production discontinued, the Hulk exists in a fixed and shrinking supply, and unpolished examples with an original, undamaged bezel insert are the pieces genuinely worth sourcing rather than any green Submariner currently in circulation regardless of condition. Bezel insert originality and any signs of case polishing are checked closely given how often the reference is reproduced or altered. Every piece Clutch sources is independently authenticated through Legit Grails, with condition documented and photographs shared before you commit. Enquire to discuss availability.
