Investment scorecard

Momentum58Measured price direction: the median recorded sale of the last 4 months against the median of 8 to 12 months ago. 50 means flat; small samples are pulled toward 50.

Liquidity72How easily it sells: recorded sales in the last 12 months (300 or more scores 100) and eBay's 90-day sell-through rate.

Scarcity100Demand against supply. For modern pieces, how far the market sits above or below current retail, plus a lift if production has ended. For vintage, how rarely one comes up for sale.

Value entry45Where the latest quarter's median sale sits inside its own 3-year range. Buying near the low scores high; buying at the high scores low.

Condition safety88How safe a typical example is: the age of the design, plus how tightly sale prices cluster (a wide spread means condition and originality swing the price).

The story

Discontinued in 2020 and immediately re-rated. The all-green Sub more than doubled its 2020 US retail of $9,350.

Its replacement (the Starbucks, 126610LV) has a black dial, which makes the Hulk's green-on-green a closed chapter.

Rolex launched this green-on-green Sub in 2010 (the 50th-anniversary green Sub was the earlier 16610LV Kermit of 2003), and many collectors found it too loud at first. It then became one of the strongest-appreciating modern Submariners.

The 'Hulk' name comes from its all-green dial and bezel. Prices rose sharply after its 2020 discontinuation.

Our verdict: The textbook discontinuation play, already played. Still a strong hold with cult demand.
