Starbucks / Cermit

Why it matters

Starbucks, also called Cermit, is the current-production green-bezel Submariner with a black dial and ceramic bezel, reference 126610LV. It is the modern successor to the Kermit, and Cermit is simply Ceramic plus Kermit. The Starbucks name comes from the green-and-black resemblance to the coffee logo.

Because it is current production, the questions are about waitlist versus secondary, and whether a secondary example is unworn with a recent card. Confirm the reference 126610LV and that the bezel is the modern ceramic Cerachrom, not the older aluminum Kermit bezel.
