It is obviously absent from the majority of the replica watches that have manufactured throughout their incredibly long and illustrious history, since green is Rolex’s official company color. Rolex has begun adding small splashes of green to their various fake watch lines in recent years, often to mark the anniversary of a unique model or symbolize the company great progress.
The stainless steel Rolex Submariner has a classical watch with a black dial and bezel insert. Although blue was a choice for those who chose to purchase a solid gold or Rolesor (stainless steel and gold) Submariner, black was the only color available for the replica Rolex‘s classic stainless steel dive watch.
Several years ago, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their legendary Submariner line of watches, Rolex launched the particular Submariner that featured a bright green bezel insert – a first for their line of traditionally monochromatic stainless steel dive watches.
Different from the 50th anniversary reference 16610LV Submariner that paired a black dial with a green bezel insert, both the dial and insert on the reference 116610LV are bright green in color. What’s more, the reference 116610LV Submariner uses Rolex’s new re-designed case and Cerachrom (ceramic) bezel insert that gives the entire watch a much larger and thicker appearance, despite retaining the same 40 mm case diameter of its predecessors.
Thanks to its bolder, re-designed case and all green color profile, the reference 116610LV Submariner soon earned the nickname, the “Hulk”, with Rolex aficionados around the world. Although a purple band would be needed before the reference 116610LV could fully resemble its Marvel superhero namesake, the “Hulk” moniker has stuck, and it is now frequently used among collectors and dealers today.
Rolex has been making stainless steel Submariner fake watches since the early 1950s, and for the first fifty years of their legendary dive watch’s history, every single owner of one has had theirs in exactly the same color.
Much like some other stainless steel Rolex replica watches that do not contain any highly specific or proprietary complications in their movement, the reference 116610LV will be a popular target for counterfeiters.
It may not be quite as appropriate for every single occasion as a watch with a black dial and bezel; however the reference 116610LV is a good way to enjoy the new rendition of Rolex’s legendary dive watch – without running quite as much of a risk of sitting across from someone with the exact same watch as you.
