Happy to announce I picked up a new toy earlier today. It was a bit of a surprise from my AD as I received the news a couple weeks ago but it was stuck in Paris due to COVID-19. I was and am still waiting for a 126719BLRO meteorite dial from my AD, who has never received one since the release of this model. I guess I was offered this one due to the delay, which is also the 1st they have received of this model color as well. It was a surprise as I already have the black and white dials but will gift the black dial to my brother-in-law and keep this and the white dial. Have you guess what it is yet?

Treated myself to a Starbucks for the 1st time in over a month due to lockdown πŸ€ͺ



About the Rolex Submariner Ref. 126610LV

The Rolex Submariner reference 126610LV, introduced in 2020, represents a significant update to the brand's professional dive watch collection. This particular reference is distinguished by its black dial and green Cerachrom bezel insert, a color combination that has become a recognizable feature within the Submariner lineage. It succeeded previous green bezel Submariner models, incorporating updated technical specifications while maintaining the core aesthetic of the Submariner. This model is positioned as a contemporary iteration of a robust and functional tool watch.

The watch features a 41mm Oystersteel case, a slight increase from its 40mm predecessors, and is fitted with a unidirectional rotating bezel with a green Cerachrom insert. Powering the watch is the automatic Caliber 3235, a movement known for its precision and efficiency, offering a power reserve of approximately 70 hours. The watch is equipped with a sapphire crystal and is water-resistant to a depth of 300 meters, ensuring its durability and performance in demanding environments.

For collectors, the 126610LV holds appeal as a modern Submariner with a distinctive colorway. Its introduction marked a new chapter for the Submariner line, incorporating the latest generation movement and a subtly revised case profile. This reference is a current production model, making it a contemporary offering within the broader Submariner collection and a point of interest for those following the evolution of Rolex's professional series.
