Rolex Submariner 126610LV ‘Starbucks’ MK2 Bezel 2023

The Rolex Submariner Date reference 126610LV, affectionately known as the "Starbucks", is one of Rolex's most recognisable modern sports watches. Featuring a 41mm Oystersteel case, classic black dial and distinctive green Cerachrom bezel, this timepiece combines the Submariner's legendary diving heritage with a bold and instantly recognisable appearance.

This example is particularly desirable for its MK1 green Cerachrom bezel, the original bezel configuration used from the launch of the 126610LV in 2020 until Rolex introduced the brighter MK2 bezel in 2023. The deeper, darker green of the MK1 gives the watch a more understated character and makes these early examples increasingly sought after by collectors.

Powered by the Rolex Calibre 3235 automatic movement, the 126610LV offers outstanding precision, reliability and an approximately 70-hour power reserve, while its Oyster bracelet and 300-metre water resistance make it exceptionally versatile. The combination of the black dial and now-discontinued MK1 green bezel makes this "Starbucks" a particularly appealing example for collectors.
