Rolex Submariner Date “Kermit” Ref. 16610LV

At Van Dorst Watches, we are proud to offer this beautiful Rolex Submariner Date Ref. 16610LV, better known among collectors and enthusiasts as the “Kermit.”

This particular example is a desirable V-series model dating from approximately 2008 and features the engraved inner rehaut, a characteristic found on later examples of the reference. The watch is supplied with its original Rolex box and has recently undergone a complete in-house service.

The movement has been thoroughly inspected, serviced, adjusted, and tested. The watch is currently running properly and is supplied with a 12-month warranty covering the movement.

The watch has also been checked through The Watch Register. The search was completed successfully, with no lost or stolen registration identified in their database at the time of the search. Please note that a Watch Register search concerns the recorded status of the watch and does not serve as a certificate of authenticity.

The defining feature of the Rolex Submariner 16610LV is its distinctive green aluminium bezel insert. Introduced in 2003 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Rolex Submariner, the 16610LV combined the traditional construction of the classic Submariner Date with a larger Maxi Dial and a green bezel.

The green bezel quickly gave the model its well-known “Kermit” nickname and made it one of the most recognizable and collectible modern Rolex Submariner references.

The 40mm Oyster case is crafted from stainless steel and offers the robust construction for which the Rolex Submariner is renowned. The unidirectional rotating bezel is fitted with its iconic green aluminium insert, while the black dial provides excellent contrast and legibility.

The original black Maxi Dial features larger luminous hour markers and broader hands compared with the standard Submariner 16610. This gives the watch its distinctive appearance while improving readability in low-light conditions.

As a later V-series example, the watch features the Rolex engraving around the inner rehaut. This detail distinguishes it from earlier Kermit examples and represents the final generation of the 16610LV before the reference was discontinued.

The watch is fitted with its original stainless steel Rolex Oyster bracelet. Known for its strength, comfort, and timeless design, the Oyster bracelet perfectly complements the functional and sporty character of the Submariner.

Powering the watch is the Rolex Calibre 3135, an automatic movement widely regarded for its reliability, durability, and ease of servicing. The movement has recently been fully serviced in-house and carefully checked for accuracy, functionality, and overall mechanical condition.
