Reference 116610LV also known as the Lunette Verte is a Rolex Submariner introduced at the Baselworld Fair in 2010. With minor colour changes to the dial and bezel, it enhanced the overall feeling of the timepiece tremendously. Because of the green colour bezel and dial this reference is also given the nickname of "The Hulk."

The present watch is a very attractive example of the Submariner model. The case back is engraved with the Khanjar dagger emblem and is retailed by the offical Rolex Omani retailer. Furthermore, the present watch is in like new condition.
