Alright, let me tell you about this Rolex Submariner 116610LV thing I got into. You know, the one they call the “Hulk”. I heard it was a big deal, especially since they stopped making them in 2020.
First off, I started digging around to see what the fuss was all about. Found out this watch was made between 2010 and 2020. It’s got this 40mm stainless steel case, which I thought was a pretty standard size. Looks good, feels solid, you know? The main thing is, it tells time, and it has a second hand. Nothing too fancy there.
So, I started hunting for one. It wasn’t easy, let me tell you. Since they’re not making them anymore, finding one was a bit of a treasure hunt. I looked everywhere, and I mean everywhere. I asked around, checked with some watch guys I know, and let me tell you, these things hold their value, from what I can see.
I finally found one, and let me tell you, it was a process. The price was, well, let’s just say it wasn’t cheap. But I figured, it’s an investment, right? These things are supposed to be rare, and from what I gathered, the model 5517, which is based on the 5513, is like, the holy grail for some collectors.
Once I got the watch, I started wearing it around. It’s definitely a conversation starter. People notice it, and they know it’s something special. It feels good on the wrist, not too heavy, not too light. Just right.
Now, the green bezel, that’s what makes it stand out, that’s the real thing about it. They call it the “Hulk” because of that green, I guess. The new one, the 126610 LV, they call it “Starbucks,” has a green bezel but a black dial. I prefer the green dial, personally. It’s just, I don’t know, it’s cooler, you know?
I started reading more about these watches. Found out that they are really sought after. It looks like a good investment, something that will keep its value over time, or even get more valuable. I talked to some friends who are into watches, and they all said I made a good move.
So yeah, that’s my story with the Rolex Submariner 116610LV. It’s a cool watch, it’s got some history, and it’s definitely an interesting piece to own. I am happy with this watch now!
