Rolex Submariner Kermit vs Starbucks – A Tale of Two Green Icons

The Rolex Submariner is perhaps the most iconic sports watch ever made. For decades, it existed almost exclusively in black. That changed dramatically in 2003 with the introduction of the first Submariner to feature a green bezel, creating a unique lineage that divides collectors today.

This week, we compare the original icon, the Submariner Date 40mm 16610LV (Kermit), against the current production model, the Submariner Date 41mm 126610LV (Starbucks). Are they battling for wrist time, or do they simply appeal to two different generations of collectors?
