2003: the first generation
Underwater green water ghost 166 10LV
The submarine has undergone many upgrades, and it was not until the 50th anniversary of the submarine's birth was celebrated in 2003 that the first generation of green circle, black-faced green water ghost 16 10LV was introduced. The "LV" after the digital model is the abbreviation of French Lunette Verte, which means green frame, hoping to echo the Logo color of Rolex brand signboard with green circle. Later, many European and American cousins associated this color scheme with Disney's Cmit doll, so it was called "Cmit Frog" as a submarine in early foreign countries.
The 50th anniversary edition of this submarine 166 10LV is the first submarine watch with other colors besides the black bezel dial of the submarine. The first generation of green water ghosts adopted the design of black painted aluminum rings, equipped with the famous 3 135 automatic mechanical movement. It is said that although there was no limit at that time, the output was not high, and all the special factors made the green ghost the most shining position in the sub-series. At that time, the market price was 53,600 yuan, and there was a discount if you bought it that year.

20 10: second generation
Underwater green ghost 1 16 10lv
1 16 10LV introduced by Rolex in 20 10 is presented in dark green from the dial to the bezel. In addition, it has always been sought after by watch fans, and it has the title of Hulk Hulk in the movie Invincible Hulk abroad.
People really call it the second generation of green water ghosts, because this generation of diver green water ghosts not only upgraded the bezel from aluminum to green ceramic material (the numbers and scales of the green Cerachrom ceramic ring were treated by PVD physical vapor deposition), but also the dial was treated by green, which showed excellent texture with the ceramic bezel under light irradiation.
In terms of material, this generation of green water ghosts still uses super-strong corrosion-resistant 904L steel. In terms of movement, it also follows the "automatic winding king" adopted by the previous generation. The movement is 3 135, certified by the Swiss Super Observatory, and the internal Rolex blue niobium hairspring can effectively resist the influence of temperature and impact on the watch. The market price is 72,900 yuan. At the beginning, around 2065,438+06, there were many discounts for starting this watch, but today it is unattainable. If you want to start with this watch, you need to pay more than a minimum of 40 thousand yuan.

2020: the third generation
Underwater green water ghost 1266 10LV
In September this year 1, Rolex finally launched a new generation of submarines, and launched eight models at one go. Among them, 1266 10LV is the most worth looking forward to. In terms of design, the second-generation green disk was changed back to the black disk. In terms of size, the surface diameter of 16 10LV in 2003 or110lv in 2000 is 40mm. This year's new green ghost REF. 126 108.
Rolex diving car Ref. 1266 10LV. Oyster 904L fine steel case, with a diameter of 4 1mm, one-way rotating Cerachrom ceramic word ring, platinum-plated numbers and scales, hours, minutes, seconds and dates, a new generation of 3235 self-winding movement, paramagnetic blue Parachrom hairspring, 70 hours of power storage, Rolex top observatory precision timepiece certification, sapphire crystal glass mirror, 300 meters waterproof, Oyster steel. Cerachrom ceramic character ring presents excellent texture under illumination. Oyster steel oyster chain belt combined with sliding lock extension system can be adjusted according to the required length.
The movement was finally replaced by the 3235 movement, which is regarded as an upgraded version of the 3 135 movement and has been used by Rolex in many of its watches. The power storage of the movement is increased to 70 hours, which is greatly improved compared with the 48 hours of the old 3 1 series. The KIF shock absorber used in the machine center has been upgraded to its own Paraflex shock absorber, and its seismic performance has also improved a lot.
At the same time, it also continued the tradition of updating the 32-series movement in the past. On the surface of a new generation of submarines equipped with the 32-series movement, a Swiss-made small crown logo below 6 o'clock was designed. The price of this model is 74,600 RMB, but if you want to start with this model, you need to increase the price by tens of thousands RMB to have a chance.
The brand-new 3235 self-winding movement, which is composed of 85% niobium and 15% zirconium, is not affected by magnetic field and temperature change, and its seismic performance is ten times that of ordinary metal hairspring, which is the core key of Rolex's accurate walking. The hairspring and balance balance wheel are fixed on the straddle splint, and the patented Paraflex shock absorber has extremely high seismic performance.
Chronergy escapement device consists of an escapement wheel and an escapement fork made of paramagnetic nickel-phosphorus alloy, which is made by LiGA (electroforming micro-manufacturing technology), which is more precise and light. The axis of the new escapement fork inclines to the left, which reduces the friction between the escapement wheel and the escapement wheel. In addition, the size of ruby on the escapement fork has been improved (125 micron, which is 50% thinner than the previous generation), and the energy transmission efficiency has been improved by 15%. In addition, the inner wall of the barrel is thinner, which can accommodate longer clockwork, and the power is increased from 48 hours in 3 135 to 70 hours, an increase of nearly 50%.
In addition to being "impatient and accurate", Rolex Green Water Ghost has an extraordinary significance since its birth. To commemorate the 50th anniversary of Rolex submarine series, Green Water Ghost was listed as the 50th anniversary edition, and its output itself was lower than that of Black Water Ghost. As the most classic brand color of Rolex, it is not surprising that Green Ghost has become the most popular watch of Rolex brand. There are too many people who want the supply and demand of terminals, but the production capacity is limited, which also leads to tying in the primary market and crazy price increase in the secondary market. I believe that for a long time to come, it will be difficult for these three generations of green water ghosts to start at a fair price.
