In August of 2020, Rolex debuted a new model to their Submariner date line.
It featured a slightly larger case, at 41mm, but appears thinner than previous models as its case and lugs are thinner . It had two color-way options, the classic all-black and green Cerachrom bezel model known as the “Starbucks.”
The 126610 replaced the previous model, with the new “Starbucks” continuing the legacy of its predecessors, the “Kermit” and “Hulk.”
If you’re interested in buying a Rolex Submariner 126610LV “Starbucks,” this blog will tell you everything you need to know before you buy.
Rolex Submariner 126610LV “Starbucks” Key Features
The Rolex Submariner Date “Starbucks” is the current model in production, a 41mm stainless steel oyster model with a unidirectional rotating bezel. It gets its nickname from the green Cerachrom bezel insert and contrasting black dial, reminiscent of the popular coffee chain.
The bracelet features an Oysterlock clasp with Glidelock extension, allowing for micro-adjustments on the wrist.
The Submariner “Starbucks” runs on an updated Caliber 3235, with a 70 hour power reserve.
Submariner “Starbucks” Mark I Versus Mark II
When Rolex produces watches, they are known to make minor design tweaks. The same happened with the “Starbucks,” which created two iterations: the “Mark I” and “Mark II.”
The Mark I was produced from 2020 to mid 2023. It is recognized for its darker green bezel. The Mark II is currently in production, as of 2026, and has a brighter green bezel.
Other than that, the Mark I and Mark II “Starbucks” are entirely identical.
Submariner “Starbucks” Who Wears It
Though the Submariner is a dive watch, it is a daily watch for choice for any enthusiast. It has the perk of being waterproof, and therefore very durable for day-to-day.
The Rolex Submariner “Starbucks” has been worn by celebrities like Tom Holland, Will Ferrel, and Adam Levine.
Submariner “Starbucks” Market Value
The Rolex Submariner Starbucks is a fairly popular model, with high demand that makes its market value surpass its retail price.
The “Mark I” continued to command a premium, and sells for $14,000 to $16,000 on the secondary market. As it is no longer in production, the market value of the “Mark I” is likely to increase with time.
The “Mark II,” as a newer model, has a secondary market value around $15,000 to $18,000.
How to Buy a Rolex Submariner “Starbucks”
There are multiple options available when looking to buy a Rolex Submariner “Starbucks.”
You can, of course, try to purchase direct from Rolex, however there are many barriers in place before you will be offered any Submariner model by your authorized dealer. However, retail is not an option for purchasing the Rolex Submariner Starbucks “Mark I,” as it is no longer available at retail.
You can try to purchase a Rolex from a private seller, but that comes with many risks. Some online marketplaces also have similar risks, but we ultimately recommend that you buy from trusted dealers like us at WatchGuys.
