The 126610LV reference is famous for its green ceramic bezel and black dial, a combination that earned the original its “Kermit” nickname in collector circles. This replica Submariner 126610LV iced out strips away the understated sports watch identity and replaces it with full diamond coverage across the case and bracelet. The result is a Submariner that keeps the proportions and layout of the 126610LV but reads entirely differently on the wrist. Every link carries stones, and the bezel trades its ceramic insert for a gem-set ring that still nods to the green-and-black palette.

Technical Overview

• Reference: 126610LV
• Dial color: black with applied luminous indices
• Bezel: diamond-set, replacing the green ceramic insert
• Case and bracelet: full iced-out stone setting
• Crystal: sapphire with Cyclops lens at 3 o’clock
• Movement: automatic
• Functions: date, unidirectional bezel

The black dial grounds the entire design. Without it, a fully iced-out Submariner can look weightless. Here the dark face provides contrast that lets the surrounding diamonds register individually rather than blurring into a sheet of light.

Inside the Movement

Beneath the stone-set exterior sits an automatic caliber handling hours, minutes, seconds, and date. The movement runs independently of the external decoration, so the watch functions identically to a standard Submariner. What changes is purely visual. Comparing within the range, the blue-dial Submariner PR16233B offers a non-diamond alternative with a different color personality. Both sit within the broader Submariner lineup, but they serve completely different purposes on the wrist.

What Sets It Apart

Iced-out Rolex Submariner variants based on the 126610LV are less common than those built on the LN or blue references. The original green-bezel identity gives this version a starting point that already stands out, and the diamond treatment amplifies that distinction. If you want a Submariner that does not blend into a crowd of black-bezel options, this replica Submariner 126610LV iced out delivers that separation through both color and stone coverage.
