With so many classic Submariner elements, it isn't easy to decipher at first glance what's really changed in the new Rolex Submariner Date 126610LV. However, a subtle, almost unnoticeable modification renders this timepiece so much more elegant and aesthetically balanced. In a 2020 update, Rolex expanded the case of its iconic diver watch from the characteristic 40mm to 41 mm. Thanks to the improvement, the case profile of reference 126610LV looks so enhanced, the lugs have dwindled to appear slimmer, and it fits well on the wrist without actually looking like a 41 mm piece. Amazing, right?

Levelling the neoteric elements are the typical Submariner details like the green ceramic bezel that rotates in one direction and is marked with 60-minute graduations. The dial, too, features a characteristic design with notable hour markers and hands filled with Chromalight lume for high visibility underwater and a date window at its familiar three o'clock position. The Oystersteel construction with a screw-down crown, an Oyster bracelet with Oysterlock clasp and Glidelock extension system, a solid case back, and 300 metres of water resistance promise unfaltering reliability.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
