Submariner 126509 replica

In the past, I rarely talked about Rolex Green Ghost. This is because, for a long time, the value of the Rolex Green Ghost has skyrocketed, and there are many more than the public price. The Rolex Green Ghost watch, from the inside out, is familiar to all players. So whenever we talk about green ghosts, what is involved is basically the hot speculation of green ghosts in the market, and the topic is relatively simple.

And today, I want to talk about the green ghost again, but what I want to discuss is not the 116610LV that is hot on the market now, but the previous generation of green ghosts, 16610LV, which has long been discontinued. A player in the same city transferred an old green ghost 16610LV to me. So let’s take a look at the last generation of old green ghosts.

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the launch of the Submariner (Water Ghost), in 2003 (1953 to 2003), Rolex introduced a Submariner with a green bezel, the Model 16610LV. Among them, LV is the abbreviation of the French Lunette Verte, which means green.

The 16610LV is based on the Submariner 16610 launched by Rolex in 1988, with a green bezel and a black dial, which is different from the current 116610LV with a green bezel dial. The Rolex Old Green Ghost 16610LV was introduced in 2003 and discontinued in 2010, replaced by the 116610LV. My 16610LV is a Z prefix, according to the year of manufacture of the Rolex prefix, it should be a 2006 watch, which is 13 years ago.

Rolex watches have a very close historical heritage and continuity, so from ancient times to the present, the overall appearance of each generation of models is very similar. But veteran players know that although they look similar at first glance, there are many differences in details.
