The first generation Green Submariner was released in 2003 on the 50th anniversary of the Submariner series. The main unique features are the green aluminum alloy outer ring + black dial, 40 mm steel case, and 3135 self-winding mechanical movement.
The second generation Green Water Ghost, released in 2010, has a green ceramic outer ring + green dial, 40 mm steel case, and 3135 self-winding mechanical movement.
The third generation Green Water Ghost, released in 2020, has a green ceramic outer ring + black dial, 41 mm steel case, and 3235 self-winding mechanical movement.
I still stick to my previous opinion based on the positive appearance alone. The second-generation all-green 116610LV is more beautiful and recognizable than the third-generation 126610LV.
Both generations of Green Water Ghosts use green ceramic outer rings. I compared them under different lights and determined that the colors between the two are precisely the same.
Although the case size of the third generation 126610LV has increased from the original 40 mm to 41 mm, I used a vernier caliper to measure the rotating outer ring, and its actual size was 40.5 mm. The overall size of the two is mostly the same. I can’t see any difference with the naked eye, so you don’t have to worry about the water ghost getting bigger. This year, the case size was increased to re-produce parts and prevent people from replacing old models with new ones. Replica watch wholesale.
In addition, the length of the second and minute hands of the third generation 126610LV has slightly increased, and the size of the hour hand has shortened, but it is very slight and almost unnoticeable.
Usually, at the six o’clock position on the dial, Rolex will print the words “Swiss made.” But starting in 2018, a small crown was added between the two terms.
This is because the appearance of Rolex’s sports watches has mostly stayed the same in the past. At the same time, the bottom is dense, and the movement cannot be seen. To promote sales of new models, Rolex deliberately added a small crown on the dial to increase the difference between old and new models and facilitate quick differentiation.
The small crown of 126610LV represents that it uses the Rolex 32 series self-produced mechanical movement. The main change is that the power reserve time has been increased to 70 hours.
Now, some friends are replacing the old model 116610LN Black Water Ghost with green ceramic rings, pretending to be new models. But you can quickly tell it by looking at the small crown at six o’clock on the dial.
Although the overall appearance of the third-generation 126610LV is not as good as the second-generation 116610LV, the new model still has an advantage; that is, the shape of the case is more beautiful and elegant. Franck muller replica.
Most of Rolex’s antique watches adopt a “thin lug” design, with the lug width narrow lug. When the second generation Green Submariner was launched, Rolex changed it to “wide lugs,” which made the overall watch feel larger. This year’s new Green Water Ghost has returned to Rolex’s tradition, and the width of the lugs has become narrower by about 0.75 mm.
This modification will look much better when we put on the new model and look at it from the right 45°.
For the second and third generations of Green Water Ghost, the overall thickness of the watch has not changed; both are 12.5 mm.
The width of the watch handle shoulder guard has been slightly adjusted, and the new model is narrower to match the thin watch lugs more harmoniously.
The width between the lugs has increased from the original 19 mm to 21 mm. This also results in the new and second-generation Submariner having different strap widths, so the watch sections between the two cannot be interchanged.
The new green water ghost 126610LV, the merits and demerits are equal! The dial turns black, which is not as good-looking as the previous generation. Fortunately, the case shape is more like an antique watch, a little more elegant. After waiting ten years, the fourth generation of green water ghosts appeared.
