Incoming! 126610LV

I’m thrilled to have my latest addition, the Rolex 126610LV. The Submariner LV, or “Lunette Verte,” has a rich history dating back to its introduction at Baselworld in 2003.

The iconic green bezel made its debut with the 16610LV. This marked Rolex’s 50th-anniversary celebration of the Submariner. The green bezel captured the attention of enthusiasts everywhere, earning it the nickname “Kermit.”

Fast forward to the present, and I find myself in possession of the latest iteration, the Rolex 126610LV. Beyond the green bezel, it houses the Caliber 3235 movement with a precision of -2/+2 seconds per day and 70 hours of power reserve. And I love that the redesigned case reflects the timeless Submariner lines.

Here’s to the next chapter in the legacy of this legendary Sub! Wrist shots soon.

Congratulations. My husband had one come in 2 or 3 months ago. The new shade of green is much nicer. Congrats again.

Thank you everyone! Much appreciated. A number of people mentioned MKII; the change in bezel color is what got me to finally pull the trigger. I also missed having a Sub.

I think this reference truly brings together all the best aspects of the Sub’s story in one watch; from the nostalgia it invokes to the modern manufacturing technology that Rolex uses. Few if any can compete.
