Watch Description

The Oyster Perpetual Submariner Date in Oystersteel with a Cerachrom bezel insert in green ceramic and a black dial with large luminescent hour markers.


The Submariner's rotatable bezel is a key functionality of the watch. Its 60-minute graduations allow a diver to accurately and safely monitor diving time and decompression stops.

Manufactured by Rolex from a hard, corrosion-resistant ceramic, the Cerachrom bezel insert is virtually scratchproof. A luminescent capsule on the zero marker ensures legibility, no matter how dark the environment. The bezel’s knurled edge is carefully designed to offer excellent grip under water, even with gloves.


The dial’s luminescent Chromalight display is an innovation that improved visibility in dark environments, an essential feature for divers.

Hour markers in simple shapes – triangles, circles, rectangles – and broad hour and minute hands enable instant and reliable reading to prevent any risk of confusion underwater.


Rolex uses Oystersteel for its steel watch cases. Specially developed by the brand, Oystersteel belongs to the 904L steel family, alloys most commonly used in high-technology and in the aerospace and chemical industries, where maximum resistance to corrosion is essential.

Oystersteel is extremely resistant, offers an exceptional finish once polished and maintains its beauty even in the harshest environments.

# Rolex Submariner Starbucks Review by A.I. WatchMetrics

## Watch Summary
The Rolex Submariner "Starbucks" (ref. 126610LV) is an iconic professional diver's watch featuring a distinctive green Cerachrom bezel insert paired with a black lacquered dial and luminous indices, ideal for discerning collectors, adventurers, and luxury sports enthusiasts who value timeless tool-watch robustness; it houses the in-house automatic Calibre 3235 with 70 hours of power reserve, 300m water resistance, a magnified date window, and Superlative Chronometer certification at -2/+2 seconds per day.

## Overall Watch Rating: 8.3/10.0

**Dials & Design Metric (9.8/10.0)** - The Submariner's legendary diver aesthetic, enhanced by the signature green bezel and flawless black dial execution, sets a benchmark exceeded only by haute horlogerie custom pieces.
**History & Innovation Metric (9.7/10.0)** - Decades of pioneering dive watch evolution culminate in this model, rivaling the cultural impact of the original 1953 Submariner.
**Material Metric (9.7/10.0)** - Premium Oystersteel, scratch-resistant sapphire, and Cerachrom ceramic deliver superior durability comparable to top-tier Omega Seamaster builds.
**Movement Metric (9.6/10.0)** - The Calibre 3235's exceptional accuracy, 70-hour reserve, and in-house finishing outperform most luxury automatics like the ETA 2824 equivalents.
**Versatility Metric (9.3/10.0)** - Seamlessly transitions from deep-sea dives to boardroom wear, outshining specialized divers like the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms in everyday adaptability.
**Brand Metric (9.2/10.0)** - Rolex's unmatched prestige and reliability place it firmly alongside icons like Audemars Piguet in the luxury pantheon.
**Rarity Metric (7.8/10.0)** - High demand and controlled production elevate it above mass-market divers like the Seiko Prospex, though not as exclusive as limited Patek Nautilus editions.
**Functions Metric (6.0/10.0)** - Core timekeeping and date suffice for a tool watch but trail multi-function rivals like the Omega Aqua Terra at similar price points.
**Complications Metric (4.0/10.0)** - The simple magnified date offers basic utility, lagging behind chronograph-equipped divers such as the Breitling Superocean.

## Total Performance Score (TPS): 4.1

## WM Collector Grade: C+

## Performance Insights: Excels in design, heritage, materials, and movement for enduring appeal, but basic complications and functions temper value against its premium pricing; strong buy for brand loyalists despite a fair implied price of $260,000 reflecting its quality benchmark.

## TPS Interpretation: Modest Value: The watch offers proven luxury diver excellence driven by brand and design, but its price incorporates significant prestige premium over feature-packed alternatives.
