The Rolex Submariner 116610LV, widely known as the “Hulk,” was discontinued in 2020, making the pre-owned market the only way to secure this iconic full-green model today. Buying second hand allows you to choose the exact condition, year, and set that suits you - ranging from lightly worn daily wearers to complete full-set collector examples - while avoiding waitlists and uncertainty. With immediate availability and UK after-sales support, a pre-owned Rolex Hulk also offers potential value resilience compared to brand-new models, although future value can never be guaranteed.
Pre‑owned pricing for a Rolex Submariner Hulk varies with:
Condition: Overall condition has a significant impact on price, including the sharpness of the case, condition of the dial and ceramic bezel, bracelet stretch, and levels of clasp wear. Well-preserved examples with strong case lines and minimal wear typically command a premium.
References & Era: Year of production, serial range, and whether the watch is an earlier or later example can influence desirability. Collectors may favour certain production periods, which can affect market value.
Box & Papers: The presence of original box, warranty card, booklets, and accessories plays an important role. Full-set examples with clear provenance generally attract higher prices than watch-only pieces.
Service: Documented servicing, whether by Rolex or a respected independent specialist, can add reassurance. Original, unaltered components are especially important to collectors and help support stronger values.
Market demand: Pricing is also shaped by wider demand for the Rolex Submariner Hulk, its discontinued status, rarity, and overall trends within the Rolex sports watch market.
The Submariner is Rolex’s archetypal dive watch. In 2003, Rolex marked the Submariner’s 50th anniversary with the green‑bezel 16610LV - nicknamed the “Kermit.”
In 2010, the 116610LV arrived with a green dial and green ceramic bezel, earning the “Hulk” nickname. Rolex discontinued the 116610LV in 2020; its successor, the 126610LV, pairs a green bezel with a black dial and is often called the “Starbucks.”
For collectors, the Rolex Submariner Hulk stands out as the only modern Submariner with both green dial and green bezel from the factory.
Rolex Submariner 116610LV “Hulk” (2010–2020) 40mm Oystersteel, green sunburst dial and green ceramic bezel; calibre 3135; Oyster bracelet with Glidelock.
Rolex Submariner 16610LV “Kermit” (2003–2010) Black dial with green aluminium bezel; the 50th‑anniversary model that paved the way for the Hulk.
Rolex Submariner 126610LV “Starbucks” (2020– ) Green ceramic bezel with black dial on the 41mm case; a clear evolution from the Hulk’s full‑green aesthetic.
The Rolex Hulk watch has become a modern icon among collectors and enthusiasts. Its unmistakable green sunburst dial and green Cerachrom bezel, paired with Rolex’s renowned build quality, make the hulk submariner instantly recognisable and highly desirable. Produced from 2010 to 2020, its discontinuation has increased its appeal on the secondary market.
Key features collectors value include the 40mm Oystersteel case (often called the “super case”), green sunburst dial, green ceramic bezel insert, and the self‑winding calibre 3135 with an approximate 48‑hour power reserve. The Rolex Submariner Hulk also offers 300m water resistance and an Oyster bracelet with Glidelock clasp for on‑the‑fly adjustment. While no future value is guaranteed, demand for the used Rolex Hulk remains strong within the pre‑owned market.
With its 40mm case and compact lug‑to‑lug, the Rolex Submariner Hulk wears well on many wrist sizes. The Oyster bracelet’s Glidelock clasp allows quick micro‑adjustments for comfort throughout the day. For smaller wrists, a precise bracelet fit is key; for larger wrists, Glidelock provides extra on‑the‑fly extension over warmer months. Prefer a particular year, condition or full set?
