The Rolex Submariner 116610LV, affectionately nicknamed the “Hulk” by the watch community, stands as one of the most distinctive and instantly recognizable references in the entire Rolex lineup. With its matching green dial and green Cerachrom bezel, this bold colorway divided opinion on launch in 2010 before becoming one of the most sought-after Submariners ever produced. Our super clone Hulk at Grand Watch Club faithfully reproduces this green icon.
The Hulk: Born from Bold Ambition
Rolex has a history of introducing green into the Submariner family. The “Kermit” (16610LV) was the first, debuting in 2003 with an aluminum green bezel and black dial. The Hulk took green further — matching the dial and the new ceramic bezel in the same striking green colorway. The result was a watch that polarized collectors initially, but whose bold identity quickly earned it cult status. When Rolex discontinued the 116610LV in 2020 without a direct ceramic Hulk replacement, secondary market prices doubled almost overnight.
The specific shade of green used on the Hulk is a deep, rich emerald that shifts between olive and forest green depending on lighting conditions. The Maxi dial format maximizes legibility with its large luminous plots. The sunburst finishing on the green dial adds visual depth that catches light beautifully. Our super clone Hulk reproduces this intricate dial finishing to a high standard.
Capturing the Green: Our Super Clone’s Accuracy
Getting the Hulk right is notoriously challenging. The specific shade of green must be consistent between the bezel insert and dial — two components made from completely different materials. Many lower-grade replicas fail this test with obvious shade mismatches. Our Hulk super clone uses a carefully matched green ceramic bezel and green sunburst dial that achieve color consistency under various lighting conditions.
The green Cerachrom bezel insert features the correct platinum-filled graduation markings and platinum-coated 60-minute scale. The dial printing — Submariner, Oyster Perpetual, and Date text in correct typeface and spacing — is sharp and properly positioned. The hands and indices are filled with Swiss-grade BGW9 lume that glows bright blue-green in darkness. Read our lume guide for more on luminescent materials.
Why the Hulk Remains Desirable
The Hulk represents something rare in Rolex’s catalog: a bold statement piece that is simultaneously a serious professional dive tool. The all-green colorway works surprisingly well with a range of clothing — particularly with earth tones, navy, and dark colors. It’s also one of those rare watches that attracts both attention and respect from watch enthusiasts who recognize the reference. In super clone form, it lets you make that statement without the $20,000+ grey market premium the genuine article now commands.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is the Rolex Hulk so expensive on the used market?
A: Rolex discontinued the 116610LV in 2020 without a direct replacement (the new 126610LV is the “Kermit” with black dial). The combination of ceramic green bezel and green dial is unique to this reference, making it highly sought after.
Q: Does the super clone Hulk have a matching green bracelet?
A: No — both the original and our super clone feature the standard polished/brushed Oyster stainless steel bracelet. Only the bezel and dial are green.
Q: Is the Hulk a good choice as a first super clone?
A: The Hulk is a fantastic first purchase if you want something distinctive. However, if you want maximum versatility, the classic black Submariner is the safer first choice. See our everyday wear guide for more perspective.
