Compare the New and Old Rolex Submariner Green "Ghost" Watch Replica

Recently, Rolex unveiled a new collection of Submariner and Oyster Perpetuals, and the most anticipated new model is the new Rolex Submariner Green "Ghost" 41 mm watch replica 126610lv, which changes the all-green color scheme of the previous model and returns to the green-rimmed black disc of the original 50th Anniversary Edition 16610lv Green Ghost replica, we shot this new Submariner model from Rolex right away, and we also found a previous generation Rolex Submariner replica 116610LV, better known as the 'Hulk' for comparison, so let's take a look at it.

The Case

The new Rolex Submariner copy comes in a different size. The diameter of the watch has increased by 1mm from 40mm to 41mm. The new Green Aquaman is still made from a solid block of Oyster steel in a mid-level Oyster case, which is extremely durable and corrosion resistant.

On the other side of the watch is a screw-down crown engraved with the Rolex crown logo on the top and three dots on the bottom, indicating that the crown is triple waterproofed with a triple-locking system. The crown is screwed securely to the case, making the watch water-resistant to 300 meters. The change on this side of the case is to the crown shoulders. Rolex has made the new shoulders narrower and slimmer, as we can see from the comparison chart, but it is not really obvious.

The Dial

Some watch lovers think that the all-green design is not good enough compared to the old one, while others think that the black and green color scheme is even more novel now, as it has been many years since the first generation's 50th anniversary model was released in 2003. The rest of the dial has not been significantly altered. The iconic Mercedes needles with the round and rectangular hour markers are still classic and attractive. The date display is enlarged with a double anti-reflective convex lens at 3 o'clock on the dial, and a small crown has been added below the rectangular hour markers at 6 o'clock to represent the new movement of the new model.

It is vital for divers to read the time accurately underwater, where their lives depend on it, and Rolex has always done an excellent job of this. The entire dial is easy to read at a glance, and the hour markers and hands are coated with Chromalight.

The Bezel

The largest change for the case of the replica Rolex Submariner 41mm watch, however, comes courtesy of the bezel. Like the rest of the design tweaks, this is a subtle, evolutionary change rather than an out-and-out reimagining, but the impact on the look is dramatic. This is the first time a Submariner has combined a green bezel with a black dial since the original replica Submariner 16610LV “Kermit” was discontinued in 2010, and the approach this time around is far more subdued. The aluminum bezel used for the original “Kermit” took on a vibrant, almost Kelly green tone, in addition to its narrow old-school width. For the replica Rolex Submariner 126610LV, however, the brand takes on a far more serious and restrained character. The green bezel here is a deep, desaturated, forest green hue, with a much wider and more substantial presence when viewed from above.

The other side of the watch features a screw-down crown engraved with the Rolex logo and the crown logo on the top, while the three dots on the bottom indicate that the crown is triple waterproof with a triple locking system and a non-slip pit pattern on the crown for easy adjustment by the wearer. The crown is screwed securely to the case, making the watch water-resistant to 300 meters. The change on this side of the case is to the crown shoulders. Rolex has made the new shoulders narrower and slimmer, as we can see from the comparison chart, but it is not really obvious.

The Bracelet

Rolex pairs the Submariner 126610LV replica with the latest generation of the iconic three-link stainless steel Oyster bracelet. The look is more or less the same as previous iterations, but the tolerances have been tightened even further along with slight proportional changes to keep this as the gold standard of three link bracelets. This latest iteration of the Oyster also maintains the Glidelock micro-adjusting clasp for easy comfort on a variety of wrists.

The Movement

The powerplant inside the replica Rolex Submariner 126610LV is Rolex’s own manufacture Caliber 3235 automatic movement. First appearing in the brand’s lineup in 2015, the Caliber 3235 has steadily been replacing the decades-old Caliber 3135 in Rolex sports models since to become the standard three-hand date movement across the lineup. Surprisingly, the copy Rolex Submariner 126610LV and the Submariner line as a whole are nearly the last series of models to make this transition, with only the Date 34 still using the old movement. In terms of performance, the Caliber 3235 is a generational shift over its predecessor, offering a robust 70-hour power reserve to the Caliber 3135’s 48 hours with no increase in size. The Caliber 3235 maintains a steady 28,800 bph beat rate, is both COSC chronometer-certified and passes Rolex’s more stringent in-house Superlative Chronometer standards. Other modern amenities of the Caliber 3235 include an instantaneous date adjustment, a proprietary Parachrom hairspring, and an innovative efficient Chronergy escapement.

Summary

It's understandable that there are mixed reviews for this most anticipated new watch, because personally, I prefer the old all-green color scheme, but I also think the new model will look newer because I've seen the black and green color scheme again after so many years, and after all, the old Green Ghost is so popular and so common. The Rolex Submariner 126610LV is available now, dealers at an MSRP of $9,550 USD.
