Rolex Kermit Super Clone – Submariner 16610LV

What the nickname designates

“Kermit” refers to Submariner references with a black dial and green ceramic bezel—an inversion of the all-green Hulk configuration. The 16610LV is the classic variant; the 116610LV in Hulk form (green dial, green bezel) is sometimes conflated with Kermit references, though the true Kermit carries black dial. The green-bezel-on-black-dial combination has become a collector category across production generations.

Questions about this nickname

Which reference is the true Kermit clone?
Kermit is characterised by a black dial with green bezel. The 16610LV Date Kermit Black is the accurate specification. The 116610LV variants (Hulk) carry green dials, which is a different design. The family collection shows all Submariner references available.

When was the 16610LV in production?
Production dates are not specified in the listing. The reference number and dial/bezel configuration are the constant markers. QC photographs show the reference engraving on the case back for your verification.

Is the green bezel on both black and green dial variants identical?
Both use ceramic bezels with green inserts, but the surrounding dial colours differ, which affects overall visual contrast. Bezel material and rotation mechanics are the same. The QC video shows the bezel finish under daylight for comparison.
