The first generation is relatively simple without professional complications, whereas the second generation features a 10-minute regatta countdown function. The second generation is also the most visually complex Rolex model, characterised by its intricate yet well-organised dial.
Milguass
The most popular Milgauss model reference is 116400GV, widely known as the "Green Glass". Its signature lightning-bolt-shaped hand has earned it the nickname among fans. Before the emergence of the Green Submariner, the Milgauss could be considered Rolex's most sought-after watch, just as hard to acquire as the Green Submariner is today. The Milgauss is also a benchmark for anti-magnetic watches; prior to Omega's ultra-anti-magnetic timepieces, the Rolex Green Glass was the world's most renowned and magnetically resistant watch. The retail price of the Green Glass is 63200 RMB, making it slightly more affordable than the models mentioned above.
Green Submariner
Submariner is everyone's nickname for theRolexNicknamed the "Submariner", it is currently available in two main versions: the Green Submariner and the Black Submariner. The Green Submariner is undoubtedly the bestseller; as soon as stock arrives at boutiques, it rarely lasts a few days before selling out. First introduced in 2010, the Green Submariner is distinguished by its dial coated with "green gold" using PVD technology, while the exact alloy ratio of this green gold remains a secret. Upon release, the Green Submariner instantly soared in popularity and is now virtually impossible to find in domestic boutiques and authorised dealers. Furthermore, watch-selling acquaintances mention that even if a store happens to have one, they might not sell it. The official model reference of the Green Submariner is 11610LV, with a retail price of 70000 RMB. While the price may seem reasonable, unfortunately, it is a piece you cannot guarantee buying even with the money ready. Famous singer Na Ying is known to own a Green Submariner.
Black Submariner
The Black Submariner was introduced to bridge the significant market shortage left by the Green Submariner, though it does not feature "green gold" but rather black ceramic. The Black Submariner also sells exceptionally well, driven by two types of buyers: those who settle for it because they cannot secure a Green Submariner, and those who genuinely prefer the black model. The official model reference for the Black Submariner is 11610LN, with a retail price of 65900 RMB. Not only is it more affordable than the Green Submariner, but it is also much easier to acquire.
