The New 2020 Rolex Submariner Kermit!? - 126610LV Review(Hands On)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 чер 2024
- Just got the new Rolex 126610LV Submariner “Kermit”. This is a hands-on review and I will be comparing it to my Rolex 116610 Submariner Date that has on a Rolex 116610LV “Hulk” bezel on. I brought my “ceramic” Kermit that I had recreated a while back after acquiring a bezel because I felt it would be a perfect comparison for the color of the bezel and overall dimensions. The color shade of green seems to be exact for both. Side by side the watches appear almost the same in size although the new 126610LV is a 41mm. The lugs seemed to be slimmed down but not from the outside but from the inside lug width instead. The bigger bracelet made a huge change in he proportions of the watch. It will take some getting used to but I feel will be nothing less than a success. I was quite surprised that Rolex released a new black dial green bezel variation considering that the original 16610LV was supposedly the 50th anniversary of the Submariner. My question is why re-release a “50th” anniversary? It safe to say that I liked the idea because I even recreated my own lol, but never thought it would happen. There is no doubt that this will be a hit piece from Rolex for years to come.
Some quick points about each watch featured:
Rolex Submariner Date Ref# 126610LV “Kermit”
Diameter: 40.5mm
New Changes:
Bolder writing on dial
Wider clasp
Wider band links(whole bracelet)
Rolex Submariner Date Ref# 116610 “Kermit Tribute”
Diameter: 40.2mm
Bezel came off a 116610LV “Hulk”
Rolex Submariner Date Ref# 16610LV “Kermit”
Diameter: 40mm
50th Anniversary edition Submariner.

The best watch dealer In Miami! I’ve bought an AP with Eric and a 41 datejust and it’s by far the best shopping experience ever. Better than Boutiques.
Thank you man! I appreciate the support!
@@WatchEric of course! You hooked me up multiple times! I just wish i never threw up in the CRM bathroom thooo
@Matthew M I wish :( stomach flu lmao

Thanks Eric , perfect review you nailed it once again 👍
Thanks again!
E DAP your on point with this piece bro. I like it but I’m fine with my ceramic sub black bezel. Congrats on your new channel too.
Great quality video man, you got a new sub. What do you film and edit with? Your media looks crisp af.
Thanks Eric! You hit on all the questions I had. Great video!!!
Glad it was helpful!
I’m sticking to vintage, pre-creramic.
The OG
Agreed, I’ll stick with my 16600 sea dweller and my sea dweller 4000.
Have had my 16613 since 1998 and just had it maintenanced by Rolex (Geneva). Great watch.
Best review of this new offering from Rolex! All the details you need to know! Cool piece; it will be interesting to see what the market does price-wise with these.
Thank you Maurie
2:45 "....although I did bring ONE of my personal kermits...." haha serious flex there Eric.
Some have counted me out!

I am super excited! My ad just called me for the new green sub.
Enjoyed the video! I look forward seeing the actual in a couple weeks
😂🙌🏼💯
Nice review! The hardest choice for me is gonna be to decide between the new Rolex sub "Kermit" or the Rolex Explorer. What do you guys think?
Hello Eric
What do you think about the explorer 39mm (the last version) if I have to trade in (excelent condition)to pick an submariner how much do you think I'll have to spend ?
Thanks !!
Love your vids Eric, keep up the great work. However I noticed many reviewers don’t review dress watches as much anymore. Can you review the Cellini black dial or similar ? Thanks !
Nice watch. Just need access to it.

Nailed it Eric, I got it from my AD a week ago, and I agree 100% with your review. I must ad that is also lighter and thinner than the 11-series. I don't have a scale to weigh it but when held in my hand It's defiantly lighter. Awesome review as alvays, Great video! Thanks.
Nice!! Enjoy it!!
That watch is 🔥🔥. I have the 114060 and this would be a fantastic upgrade, definitely not paying 20K plus for one but I think it is just about perfect for a daily wear watch!
Totally agree
Eric this was a great video. I really enjoyed it.
Eric hizo la predicción! Jajaja hace mucho que no comentaba seguro ya no te acuerdas de mí, saludos hermano!
Gracias hermano
Great video! You always have great content keep up all the good work. I love all three green submariner‘s. Kermit, hulk and the 41mm Kermit but if you could only have 1 or 2 which one or one’s would you let go?
Glad you like them!
Watch Eric which one is your least favorite out of the 3? The new 41mm Kermit.
@@WatchEric idol
Great video Erick. I think Rolex hit it out the park with the sub. I’m a big fan of the new no-date.
You and me both!
can you review a vacheron constantin overseas with the blue dial on the bracelet
Just got one today!! promise!
@@WatchEric awesome 😎👍
yes i would love to see this
"it doesn't look as big as I thought it was" are words I've never heard spoken from any human being ever before.
Lolol. Its well proportioned
Great video as usual. Keep up the great work
Great review, change the name I recon though, the ceramic goblin or the ceramic frog are a couple that spring to mind for me. Cheers, love your vids 👌👌
Lol. Good ones

Got hold of mine ten days ago, looks and wears great.
Even the actual lug might be the same width, but because they increase the bracelet to 21mm makes the lug looks slimmer/tapered slightly.
That is 💯
Agree with you Eric we should just stick with Ceramic Kermit. Also agree with you the clasp on the modern sub are just too substantial even with Hulk due to 20mm glidelock adjustment. I personally like the glidelock concept but we (99.99%) don't need 20mm adjustment for daily use.
💯🙌🏼
I love the watch your wearing! Is it a just date gold? Lemme know. Oh, before I forget, great video!
AP 41mm Rose!
It looks cool, but i prefer the hulk. The new blue bezel white gold sub looks insane! Even though I own a blue seamaster, the blue on the sub is different enough for me to add another blue watch.
I’ve dubbed the new Kermit the Cermit (ceramic Kermit)
Lol
Great review! I would like to see a review on an RM next!
RM Gang.
Thanks Eric for another awesome video! Will share with a friend who’s on the wait list.
Awesome thank you!
I got this as my first real watch this year and I love it!
Great Video
What is the watch on your wrist Eric?
Eric which Rolex u recommend as entry level
Jelly Eric! I’d like to say new ones in 41 mm good, I mean whole line including OP in different colors ( hope you’ll do them too) but I still prefer Hulk with maxi case 😇😇😎😎😎love your reviews and your charisma is outstanding! CRM lost you and I know they are missing you there my dear friend!!🤝🤝🤝👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Thank you. I think you are speaking the truth.
They're supposed to have ceramic tubes around the bracelet pins: like the Day-Date 40; or at least the precious metal versions do.
They're all hidden improvements:
3235
Ceramic tubes
Longer lugs
Wider bracelet.
The 126618LB has a Royal Blue dial
The Smurf has a blue bezel.
I said they would increase the size of the watch because of the Yacht Master 42 and thought they'd increase it to that.
This isn't really an increase.
They needed a coloured dial for the 126619LB white Gold blue bezel Smurf replacement..
I'm sure Rolex have some more new releases held back, for the spring/ early summer, when last years' new show with Patek Philippe and Breitling would have begun In April after
watches and Wonders.
Awesome video and content as always Eric. Would you say you prefer the new ceramic Kermit over the Hulk?
Not sure that I do!
Watch Eric Feeling is mutual! That green sunburst dial of the hulk is irreplaceable 🟢
Hey Eric, dude, did you notice on the new Rolex 126610lv, i.e. the kermit，the laser etched crown is different than the previous model? The previous model had a single dotted oval shaped circle at the bottom, and the newer version has a double layered dotted oval shaped circle!
You miss some points. HOUR HAND's triangle tip is slimmer at the old sub and it is thicker and shorter at the new version but not as thick as GMT. It sucks because when I want to replace the hands in the future I will be able to find only new version. Not many people will notice, but I will always notice that the tip of the hour hand is thicker and doesnt originally belong to that watch.
agree with u eric. ive been calling it the kermit-C. p.s. great idea to get the green ceramic bezel (if one can find it) and fit it on a black sub. its like having 2 watches in 1
i like that!
@@WatchEric thanks for the kind reply
Do you think that this will eventually be the case a bracelet format for the next GMT?
Not 100% sure
From your videos i think you really love Rolex more than any other watch :)
I do but don't lol
Increíble tu predicción al decir que saldría y que te gustaría uno así, es más llegaste a customizarlo BRAVO 👏🏻👏🏻
Gracias Enrique!
Watch Eric eres el número 1, tus conocimientos y predicciones son muy acertados
Just found your chanel and I absolutely enjoy the content! Might I suggest you give us a watch check at the start of every video to see what's on your wrist?
Thank you for joining us! The only reason I never really did that is because most YT’s do that. But there can be a compromise. Many have asked me for that.
Great video as always Eric 👍🏻
Thank you!
If you were to buy one, which would you choose between the Date and the "no date"? And for what reason? from the historical point of view, and for the symmetry of the dial, is the "no date" objectively more beautiful? or is the Date functionality better? Today almost everyone chooses the Date .. What do you think?
Great video.
Question: I'd like to do what you did with your sub by purchasing a hulk ceramic bezel and changing out my current black one. So...
- where do you advise I can get one?
- how much you think it would cost?
- how much would it cost to have it installed?
- any drawbacks?
Appreciate the guidance.
Thanks.
beautiful watch and great job Eric
Glad you liked it!
That is the LOOK. Agree this is one of the best. I crave mine. Buying a DJ from my AD just to keep in good shape so when they get it in my name can be in place :).
Couldn't agree more!
Eric, Chrono 24 is showing my Rolex Yachtmaster from ~2005 with the frosty platinum dial to have shot way up in value, from the $7000 to $9,000 range lately. I love the watch, it is like a submariner movement and DeLuxe, but slim-fitting like a Daytona. What gives? Are these watches really shooting up in value for some reason? Is this a hot model now? It's the Platinum stainless steel bracelet model.
Just been to my local AD. If I had ordered this watch when this video came out (3 years ago), I'd still have another 5 years to wait. Their wait list for this model is over 800 customers long. I originally went in for an Explorer 2 black face and on being told it was a 4 year wait asked about the green bezel sub. Gave up and bought a green Tag Aquaracer 300 then and there. The shop even threw in a Wolf winder.
Another Classic Video Thanks E 🔥🔥🔥
🔥🙌🏼💯thank you!
Eric, can you please make a video on the AP 38mm chrono. Thanks!
I just had one! I found it not only small but short on links.
Looks good but that clasp what the F..k were they thinking 🤔...Great video Eric 📹
My thoughts exactly
Love the new Submariner Ceramic Kermit. Looks like a well balanced watch.
Eric - do you think the new Submariner No Date is a good investment?
Yes
Love the video and the new Rolex models are cool, however, I've owned a lot of watches including many Rolex and I have a large wrist- 8.5", in my experience, I prefer 20mm bracelets at the lugs vs anything bigger. Too bad they made the braceler bigger IMHO.
I agree
That kermit is beautiful 💚
Good review Eric
Thank you!

The Starbucks logo memes on this watch are pretty good.
They missed the chance of calling it "The Shrek" since it's bigger than The Kermit.
It's just kermit. Just like when the aluminium pepsi got released in ceramic, still pepsi. Why complicate it?
Fez that’s all and i’m totaly agree !
That prediction was 🤯. Eric for president 2020
Jajajajaj😎

It’s a great watch but I like my hulk better 😆. I’m interested in knowing what you think about the blue one ...A bit tempted to buy but it’s way more expensive
The blue one I LIKE!
Hey Eric, is that a heavy hitter rolex that can command respect in the watch game?
Right now yes
Eric i have a question. Why are steel watches popular than the gold ones?
Perfect - like it even more than the Hulk! Thanks for the review!
Thanks for watching!
The Sub changes are dancing on the head of a pin. It’s a nice $10k watch. Beyond that it’s just another Rolex Sub with a proper
32 series” movement. The GMT line when upgraded 2 years back was cleaner with more significant and improved changes with its super jubilee bracelet and 32 series movement. The new Sub is just last to the party that has been going on for the last 3 years.
We’ll see. Thank you for watching
It’s only wider by a little over 0.2mm on each side. The old sub was 40.80 and this new one is 41.25ish.
Something like that
Can you review a Akrivia Ak-06 or one of the tourbillion model of that brand, im sure you never heard of it before but believe me you will be surprised 😉
If you can’t find one for the review I suggest you talk with the owner, he is an independent watchmaker in Geneve, very talented
I need to check it out
What a great time to own a 116610ln. Still undecided on 41mm.
Yessssss
Which should I get this a Pepsi jubileee or black dial Daytona?
Which one is better that new Kermit or black one submarine?
I had the hulk and sold it in Feb and picked this baby up in March, I prefer this much more as I can wear it more often as a daily whereas the hulk I was only wearing with certain clothes.
Hulk is $30,000
Hi, what do you think the future of the supercase date ceramic sub will be? I have been offered some low-ball offers for it, it is unworned and some dealers want to pay under retail for it... like $8500. ]I would appreciate your suggestion, I need some money but have other watches I could sell. Thanks.
They now might have fallen a little bit in value as many people have listed theirs and supply is bigger, also many wait for the new model. But I don't think you could ever sell it for much more over retail to a dealer anyway. But as long as the Rolex sports models remain difficult to obtain it will retain its value.
Another great way to differentiate is by the crown symbol between the “Swiss made” at 6o’clock
I have a 6inch wrist size, and planning to get the new submariner “kermit” but worried about the size of the watch on my wrist, any suggestions ?
You have to try it on yourself. I got a similar sized wrist but even 2 wrists with the same circumference can be completely different. Don't let anyone talk you into anything. If it looks good to you then go with it. If you think it is too big for you then maybe don't get it. I seen 6" wrists wear some chunky watches pretty well
Gorgeous, elegant and not clumsy like the previous Hulk - Rolex did a great job here ✌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻can’t wait for my Kermit ✊🏻
Totally agree! awesome!

The beauty of the Hulk is the way the face changed in different light. Side by side the Hulk is more special.
Great review as always 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Eric, I’m kicking myself for not getting the Hulk when I had the chance earlier this year. What are my options if I still wanna get a Hulk? It’s crazy price right now. Will it simmer down?
It may simmer down in 4-6 months
Watch Eric found a brand new 2020 green dial hulk for 18,500 USD in the city of Taichung, Taiwan. I’m taking the high speed rail down Monday morning to pick it up. Is that a good price? Actually, I don’t really care. I like the Hulk and I was kicking myself for not getting it during the summer. Just gonna go for it. I don’t wanna wait another year and get it used.
I guess I answered my own question.
Very good video I think this watch hits hard I like it sorry about your submariner that you changed the dial on kind of ironic
Perpetrating 😂😂😂 You crack me up man. Awesome video, as always 👊🏼

Waiting for the new 41OP silver dial 🔥
Eric whats your prediction on the next Rolex submariner : >
lol
Honestly, I would have just preferred if they just slimmed down the lugs on the super case. They would have been able to keep the 20mm bracelet.
Me too
What's the difference between this Kermit to simply changing the bezel of an all black sub?
I’m saying 🤷🏻♂️
Fun review!
I agree. The thicker bracelet and clasp were immediately a turn off to me.
It will take some time. To get used to.
when collab with archie to talk more in depth of bezel colours and lug sizes?
Is it worth it an upgrade from last Submariner ? I think I will just keep my hulk. Nothing new but only 1 more day of battery life.
Hulk is king
Great video Eric!!!
Thank You!!
Looks fantastic, but not fan of 32 mov , have 31 C black, just need to found green bezel, Eric you like to sale yours ?
Lol. Not just yet.
VIDEO REQUEST: Cartier Santos Skelton in steel or Cartier Santos ADLC (black bezel & dial)
🙌🏼
Matthew M I haven’t bought either yet, that’s why I asked for a review…

Bravo Watch Eric!
Indeed that was quick...nicely done E...I like the new case moreso....those haters saying this and that...21mm bracelet is a good upgrade imho.
Glad you like it
missed out on the hulk, won't pay the crazy secondary market prices. hounding my AD for the new kermit!!
Yess
i figure i have about ten years to get this watch at retail, not in a big hurry!
Very nice summary. Personally wasn't a fan of the Green Rolex's. So no surprise not going to be groveling for this one.
Fair enough! Thank you for sharing
Need this!!!!! Gorgeous.
The hulk is preferred by many not because the green bezel but the sunburst dial
Are on the Brightline or Metrorail stop?
This will always be the Kermit, but even if I get this watch I think it's hilarious people been calling it the Starbucks. That ceramic green combined with a center black really reminds me of their brand and I'm not mad at it. I have been waiting for a larger sub, didn't think this was gonna come, now that it's here I'm between this and the classic no date. If anyone says both please point me to a dealer that will sell me both at the same time.
lol. I can sell you one!
It's only 0,32mm bigger. Barely noticeable, don't expect to be blow away.
Does this effect the price of the “Hulk” Green/Green? Prices going up or down on the Hulk?
Hulk is $30,000
Love the new sub just not a fan of green. I really dig the new bluesy!
