From the 2003 anniversary Kermit to the ceramic Hulk and today’s Starbucks/Kermit II, green has become a collector’s shorthand for rarity, personality, and long-term demand.

Why Collectors Love the Green Sub

  • Icon status: Each generation marks a milestone (50th Anniversary, first green ceramic, first 41 mm case).
  • Versatile style: Green reads sporty in daylight and sophisticated under warm indoor light.
  • Resale strength: Consistent demand across all three eras, especially for full-set, late-run pieces.
  • Daily-wearable tool watch: 300 m water resistance, Cerachrom (ceramic) bezel on modern refs, and bright Chromalight lume.

Collectors use nicknames: Kermit (16610LV, black dial + green bezel, 2003), Hulk (116610LV, green dial + green bezel, 2010–2020), and Starbucks/Kermit II (126610LV, black dial + green bezel, 2020–present).

How hard is to get a green Submariner?

Tough but doable. AD waitlists are common—126610LV allocations are tighter than the black LN, so most buyers source pre-owned.

2003, for the 50th-Anniversary 16610LV “Kermit.” (Ceramic “Hulk” followed in 2010; 41 mm 126610LV launched in 2020.)
