What Is the Rolex Starbucks?
The Rolex Submariner 126610LV is the current-production green-bezel Submariner Date, known to collectors as the Starbucks. Rolex introduced it in August 2020 as part of the generation-wide refresh that moved the Submariner to a 41mm case and the Caliber 3235 movement. WatchGuys carries pre-owned and unworn 126610LV watches, each authenticated in-house and backed by a 2-year warranty. Below we cover what the 126610LV is, the dial variants worth knowing before you buy, what it costs, and how it compares to the two green Submariners that came before it.
The 126610LV is a Rolex Submariner Date produced from 2020 to the present in a 41mm Oystersteel case. It pairs a black lacquer dial, with applied hour markers and Chromalight lume, against a green Cerachrom ceramic bezel with a green-tinted 60-minute dive scale. Rolex's internal suffix "LV" stands for Lunette Verte, French for green bezel. Inside is the Caliber 3235, running at 28,800 vibrations per hour with roughly 70 hours of power reserve, the Chronergy escapement, and Superlative Chronometer certification. The bracelet is the Oyster with a Glidelock clasp, and water resistance is 300 meters. The Starbucks nickname comes from the green and black colorway, following the naming pattern set by the Kermit and the Hulk before it.

Why Is It Called the Rolex Starbucks?
Starbucks is the collector name for the 126610LV because a green bezel set over a black dial reads immediately like the coffee chain's cup, and the comparison stuck within months of the 2020 launch. The name continues a tradition that runs through every green Submariner Rolex has made. The 16610LV earned Kermit for its bright green aluminum insert, and the 116610LV earned Hulk once Rolex carried the green onto the dial. The 126610LV returned to a black dial, so collectors needed a new name for a familiar formula, and Starbucks is now how dealers, auction houses, and buyers search for it. Rolex has never used the nickname in its own catalog.
Rolex 126610LV MK1 vs MK2 Dial
One detail matters more than any other when buying a 126610LV: this reference exists in two dial variants. MK1 examples ran from 2020 to roughly 2023 with slightly thinner dial printing. MK2 examples, from roughly 2023 onward, use a refined font weight. Case, movement, bezel, and bracelet are identical, but the market prices them differently, and a listing that does not state which variant it is showing is worth questioning. Our team verifies the MK designation on every 126610LV that passes through WatchGuys.
Rolex Starbucks 126610LV Price Range
Pre-owned and unworn Rolex 126610LV watches at WatchGuys typically range from $13,000 to $17,000 or more. The dial variant is a meaningful factor: MK1 examples generally trade between $14,000 and $16,000, while MK2 examples trade between $15,000 and $18,000, with unworn full-set pieces sitting at the top of the range. Rolex retail sits near $11,900 following the 2026 price adjustment, but authorized dealer allocation for the green bezel is extremely limited, which is why secondary-market pricing runs above retail. The 126610LV also trades above the black-bezel Rolex Submariner 126610LN, which is the clearest measure of what the green bezel is worth to buyers.

Rolex Starbucks vs. Hulk vs. Kermit
The 126610LV is the third act in a three-watch lineage. The Rolex Kermit (ref. 16610LV, 2003 to 2010) started it, pairing a black dial with a green aluminum bezel for the Submariner's 50th anniversary. The Rolex Hulk (ref. 116610LV, 2010 to 2020) extended the green to the dial as well, making it the only Submariner ever produced with green on both surfaces, and its discontinuation without a like-for-like replacement is why it now trades between $18,000 and $25,000. The Starbucks returns to the Kermit formula of black dial with green bezel, adding the 41mm case and the newer movement. Buyers who want the boldest green statement and accept the premium choose the Hulk. Buyers who want the original with an aluminum bezel and vintage character choose the Rolex Submariner 16610LV. Buyers who want current production and the best movement of the three choose the 126610LV.

Rolex 126610LV FAQ
-
The nickname comes from the green bezel and black dial combination, which collectors compared to the coffee chain's colors. It follows the naming pattern of the two green Submariners before it, the Kermit named for the Muppets character and the Hulk named for the comic book figure. Rolex has never used the nickname officially, but it is standard shorthand across dealer listings and collector forums.
-
The difference is dial printing. MK1 examples, produced from 2020 to roughly 2023, use slightly thinner font on the dial text. MK2 examples from roughly 2023 onward use a refined font weight. Case, movement, bezel, and bracelet are identical. The distinction matters at purchase because the two variants trade at different price points, so any listing should state which one it is.
-
Pre-owned and unworn 126610LV prices at WatchGuys typically range from $13,000 to $17,000 or more. MK1 examples generally trade between $14,000 and $16,000, and MK2 examples between $15,000 and $18,000. Unworn full-set pieces sit at the top of the range. Contact our team for current pricing on a specific 126610LV in our inventory.

Allocation. Rolex retail sits near $11,900 after the 2026 adjustment, but authorized dealers receive very limited numbers of the green-bezel Submariner, and waitlists run long. When demand outruns supply at retail, the secondary market absorbs it. Buying pre-owned means paying above list, but it also means owning the watch now rather than waiting on an allocation that may never come.
-
The Starbucks (126610LV) has a black dial with a green bezel, a 41mm case, and the Caliber 3235 with a 70-hour power reserve. The Hulk (116610LV) has a green dial with a green bezel, a 40mm case, and the Caliber 3135 with a 48-hour power reserve. The Hulk was discontinued in 2020 with no all-green replacement, which is why it commands a substantial premium over the Starbucks.
-
No. The Submariner is only produced on the Oyster bracelet with the Glidelock extension system. Rolex has never offered a Submariner on a Jubilee bracelet from the factory. The Jubilee is available on select GMT-Master II references. Every 126610LV sold at WatchGuys comes on its original Oyster bracelet.
