Rolex Submariner Date 126610LN and 126610LV
What is the Rolex Submariner Date 126610?
The 126610 is the current Submariner Date family: a 41 mm stainless steel case, calibre 3235 (self-winding, 31 jewels, about 70 hours of power reserve), water resistance to 300 metres, and an Oyster bracelet with an Oysterlock clasp. The two factory references differ only in the bezel insert:
- 126610LN: black dial, black Cerachrom bezel insert.
- 126610LV: black dial, green Cerachrom bezel insert, the configuration the market calls the Starbucks.
The LN and LV are separate references, so on this family, unlike the Daytona pair above, the reference itself tells you the bezel color. Dial color does not separate them; both dials are black.

What about customized dial and bezel variants?
This family is also where customized listings concentrate, and the listings disclose the customization piece by piece, which is the only honest way to sell them. The customized categories a buyer is likely to meet are:
- Customized dial variants: a factory reference fitted with a non-factory dial, such as a sunray blue dial fitted by a third party customizer. On this category the paperwork is the customizer's box and papers, not the factory Rolex set.
- Customized dial variants on the green bezel reference: a green bezel variant fitted with a non-factory dial, such as a meteorite dial. Pieces customized by The Stellaris Collection carry the store's five-year warranty, the warranty the store places on pieces it customizes.
- Bezel-swapped variants: a black bezel reference reconfigured with a different bezel insert color, such as blue. On this category the original factory bezel insert should be included alongside the fitted one.
The rules a buyer should hold any seller to on a customized Submariner: every non-factory component named, the paperwork described as what it actually is (a customizer's box and papers are not Rolex box and papers), any original parts either fitted or included, and the warranty stated in writing. Our listings do all four; ask the same of anyone else's.
What should you check before buying a 126610?
- For a factory example, that the set is complete: box and papers, meaning the Rolex box, warranty card, and booklets for the watch in front of you.
- For a customized piece, that every non-factory component is named.
- For a customized piece, that the paperwork is described as what it actually is.
- For a customized piece, that any original parts are either fitted or included.
- For a customized piece, that the warranty is stated in writing.
