The Rolex Submariner “Starbucks” (ref. 126610LV) made its debut in 2020, blending the classic Submariner silhouette with a vibrant green Cerachrom bezel and black dial. This model follows the lineage of the beloved “Kermit” (ref. 16610LV), but updates the aesthetic with a broader 41mm case and a more contemporary feel. Its nickname comes from the green-and-black color scheme, which quickly set it apart for collectors seeking a modern twist on an icon.
The 126610LV houses the automatic caliber 3235, prized for its 70-hour power reserve and Chronergy escapement—an upgrade over previous Submariners. The case is rated to 300 meters water resistance, and the Oyster bracelet features the improved Glidelock clasp for tool-free micro-adjustment. Early examples from 2020 may command a premium, especially with full set box and papers, as collectors track subtle dial and bezel variations across production years.
Price variation is driven by condition, completeness, and production year; unworn pieces with all stickers and accessories remain most desirable. Unlike vintage Submariners, the Starbucks benefits from Rolex’s latest materials and movement technology, making it a strong choice for daily wear or as a contemporary addition to a collection. Demand remains high, so expect waitlists at authorized dealers and a lively secondary market.
What owners love
- The green bezel gives it a distinctive presence compared to the previous Submariner models, making it instantly recognizable and unique in the lineup.
- The proportions and wearability are often praised, especially the slimmer lugs and improved bracelet taper which many feel finally perfect the Submariner case.
- The movement, the 3235, is noted for its robust accuracy and impressive power reserve, requiring less frequent winding than older versions.
Common Criticisms
- The green ceramic bezel color can appear washed out or inconsistent under different lighting, sometimes looking duller than expected.
- The case thickness and slab-sided profile still feel bulkier on the wrist than vintage Subs, disappointing those hoping for a truly svelte fit.
- The high-polish center links on the bracelet are quick to show scratches and fingerprints, which frustrates owners who prefer a more utilitarian look.
