In this captivating thread, perregaux1 unveils his custom Rolex Daytona, modified by Artisans de Genève, sparking a lively discussion among collectors. His initial impressions, particularly regarding the dial's green hue, offer a candid look into the expectations versus reality of bespoke watch commissions. The community's replies delve into the intricacies of watch customization, its legal implications, and the evolving landscape of personalized luxury timepieces.
The Submariner Date reference 116610LV, introduced in 2010, is distinguished by its vibrant green dial and matching green Cerachrom bezel. This model replaced the previous 16610LV, known as the "Kermit," and marked a significant update to the Submariner line with its "Maxi Case" and ceramic bezel insert. It represents a modern interpretation of the Submariner, offering enhanced durability and a distinct aesthetic within the collection.
This reference features an Oystersteel case measuring 40mm in diameter, housing the automatic Caliber 3135. The movement provides a power reserve of approximately 48 hours. The watch is fitted with a sapphire crystal that includes a Cyclops lens over the date display, and it is water-resistant to 300 meters. The unidirectional rotating bezel is crafted from green Cerachrom ceramic, known for its scratch resistance and color stability.
Appealing to collectors interested in modern Rolex sports watches with a unique colorway, the 116610LV is often referred to as the "Hulk" due to its green coloration. It stands out from the more traditional black or blue Submariner models, offering a bolder visual presence. This reference was produced for a decade, becoming a notable entry in the Submariner's evolution before its discontinuation.

Love everything about this watch. The inscription. The display caseback. The movement decoration. The dial. The pump pushers. The dial color. Inshallah you will wear it in the best of health
The resemblance of the Hulk's color is succesful. The see-through back case is a good addition.
