About the Rolex Submariner 116610
The Rolex Submariner 116610 is the previous-generation Submariner Date, produced from 2010 to 2020 in 40mm Oystersteel. Browse pre-owned Rolex 116610 watches for sale at WatchGuys, including both the 116610LN (black) and 116610LV ("Hulk"), each authenticated in-house and backed by a 2-year warranty. The 116610 was the first Rolex Submariner to feature a ceramic Cerachrom bezel, replacing the aluminum insert used on the prior Rolex 16610. It also introduced the "Maxi Case" with wider lugs, a broader crown guard, and the Glidelock clasp for tool-free bracelet adjustments up to 20mm.
Rolex 116610 Variations
The 116610 was produced in two configurations. The 116610LN features a black dial and black Cerachrom bezel, making it the standard Submariner Date of its era and one of the most widely traded Rolex watches on the pre-owned market. The 116610LV, known as the Rolex Hulk, pairs a green sunburst dial with a green Cerachrom bezel. It is the only Submariner ever produced with an all-green dial and bezel combination. The Hulk was discontinued in 2020 and replaced by the Rolex 126610LV (the "Starbucks"), which kept the green bezel but switched to a black dial. Both 116610 variants share the same Caliber 3135 movement, 48-hour power reserve, Oyster bracelet with Glidelock, and 300-meter water resistance.
Rolex Submariner 116610 Price
Pre-owned Rolex 116610LN watches typically range from $11,000 to $14,000 depending on year, condition, and completeness. The 116610LV (Hulk) commands a significant premium due to its discontinued status and collector demand, with prices generally falling between $18,000 and $25,000. Full sets with original box and papers trade at the higher end of both ranges. For current pricing on any specific 116610 in our inventory, contact our team directly.
Rolex 116610 vs. Rolex 126610
The Rolex 126610 replaced the 116610 in 2020 with several upgrades. The case grew from 40mm to 41mm, though the lugs were slimmed down for a more refined profile. The movement changed from the Caliber 3135 to the newer Caliber 3235, which increased the power reserve from 48 hours to 70 hours. Both generations share the same Cerachrom bezel, Oyster bracelet with Glidelock, and 300-meter water resistance. Buyers who prefer the original 40mm Rolex case size or want a discontinued reference at a competitive price point often gravitate toward the 116610. For the latest generation, browse the Rolex 126610LN and Rolex Starbucks collections.

Rolex Submariner 116610 FAQ
-
The Rolex Submariner 116610 is the previous-generation Submariner Date, produced from 2010 to 2020. It features a 40mm Oystersteel case, Cerachrom ceramic bezel, Caliber 3135 movement with a 48-hour power reserve, and 300-meter water resistance. It was the first Submariner to use a ceramic bezel and the Glidelock clasp system. Rolex offered it in two variants: the 116610LN (black) and the 116610LV (green, nicknamed the "Hulk").
-
Pre-owned Rolex 116610LN prices typically range from $11,000 to $14,000. The 116610LV (Hulk) trades significantly higher, generally between $18,000 and $25,000, due to its discontinued status and strong collector demand. Pricing depends on production year, condition, and whether the watch includes its original box and papers.
-
Yes. Rolex discontinued both the 116610LN and 116610LV in 2020 when it introduced the updated 126610 generation. The 116610 is now only available on the pre-owned market. As a discontinued reference with strong demand, the 116610 (particularly the Hulk variant) has maintained solid value retention since leaving production.
-
The 116610LN has a black dial and black Cerachrom bezel. The 116610LV has a green sunburst dial and green Cerachrom bezel, earning it the "Hulk" nickname. Both share the same 40mm Oystersteel case, Caliber 3135 movement, Oyster bracelet, and 300-meter water resistance. The LV commands a premium of $7,000 or more over the LN on the pre-owned market due to its distinctive appearance and collectibility.
-
The 126610 replaced the 116610 in 2020 with a larger 41mm case (up from 40mm), slimmer lugs, and the newer Caliber 3235 movement with a 70-hour power reserve (up from 48 hours). The Cerachrom bezel, Oyster bracelet with Glidelock, and 300-meter water resistance carried over. Buyers who prefer the classic 40mm size or want a discontinued reference at a lower entry price often choose the 116610.
