History & Legacy

The Rolex Submariner “Starbucks” is the enthusiast nickname for the Submariner Date reference 126610LV, unveiled in 2020 as part of Rolex’s most significant Submariner update in a decade. The model introduced a slightly larger 41 mm Oystersteel case, refined proportions, and the latest-generation movement, while retaining the instantly recognisable Submariner design language. Visually, it is defined by its black dial paired with a green Cerachrom bezel, a combination that offers strong contrast and a more classic aesthetic than its immediate predecessor.

Collectors frequently place the 126610LV in the context of earlier green-bezel Submariners, particularly the 16610LV “Kermit”, released in 2003 to mark the Submariner’s 50th anniversary, and the 116610LV “Hulk”, produced between 2010 and 2020 with both a green dial and bezel. While the Kermit is celebrated for introducing green to the Submariner line and the Hulk for its bold, monochromatic presence, the Starbucks is often seen as a return to balance - combining modern technical upgrades with a more traditional black-dial look.

Together, these references highlight the enduring legacy of the green-accent Submariner within Rolex’s professional dive-watch lineage. The 126610LV “Starbucks” represents the latest evolution of this theme, blending heritage, contemporary design, and cutting-edge engineering in a way that continues to resonate strongly with collectors and enthusiasts alike.

Why Buy Pre‑Owned Rolex Starbucks Submariners in the UK

The Rolex Submariner “Starbucks” blends a classic black dial with a bold green bezel, creating a look that is both contemporary and instantly recognisable as a Submariner. Choosing a pre-owned example gives UK buyers access to highly sought-after models without lengthy waiting lists, along with a broader selection across production years and specifications. Many pre-owned watches are available in excellent condition, sometimes complete with original box and papers, and can offer stronger value retention compared to buying new.

Pricing & Value Factors

Pre-owned pricing for a Rolex Submariner “Starbucks” is influenced by wider market conditions as well as the individual characteristics of each watch. Factors such as the age and production year, overall condition of the case, bracelet, bezel, dial, and crystal, the presence of box and papers or full-set completeness, documented service history or recent maintenance, originality of parts, and the desirability of a particular configuration all play an important role, alongside current supply and demand.

Buying Guidance for Men and Women

At 41 mm, the Rolex Submariner “Starbucks” suits a wide range of wrist sizes, but there are several factors worth considering when choosing the right example. Fit is key, and you can either try the watch on in our London showroom or request wrist-shot images and bracelet sizing guidance. Condition is another important consideration, whether you prefer an unpolished watch or one that has been professionally refinished, while intended use - daily wear or occasional - may influence your choice of production year and overall condition. Completeness, such as the presence of box and papers, can also support long-term value. Our team is always on hand to advise on bracelet adjustments and everyday care, ensuring your pre-owned Rolex Submariner Starbucks looks and performs at its best.
