Got a call for a new 116610LV

I spent the last week going to ADs looking/begging for a hulk but no luck.
Today I received a call from a jewelry store that had one just in from a customer for $10,660 ....

My options:
1- buy it for a premium.
2- wait for my AD to call in 2 weeks for $9,460.
3- wait for the new year maybe prices will go down?

The problem is that I’m on 3 lists already, and I don’t know if I will receive one yet especially if I let this one go to another guy. What if I pay they premium ($1,300) only to receive a call a couple of days later

Appreciate your input

Option 2.

$10,660 is not a good price. You can easily find a watch at the price anywhere.

Option 3, is not likely happening. I don't think Rolex will have a price reduction.

I just hope that everyone saying that hulk is no longer in production is wrong.

Those who are saying the LV is no longer in production are the same people Trusted Scalpers prey upon.

What's the $9,460 price. The AD price should be $9,050 plus any taxes.

I love this watch but do not pay a premium now, if US ADs can still get this then give them a few weeks at least.

You should go with option 1 and give me the number of the AD so that I can proceed with options 2

DavidSw (trusted seller) has one at $10,275 - you could possibly haggle to $10,000 since he has two he needs to get rid of and is still under warranty for 5 years I think. That could be a meet in the middle thing for you. I had the best luck when i bought mine. Scored it new At the AD at a discount - out the door for 8775 total just rightttttt before the hype on these

Either #2 or #3 will be a better choice than #1.

Based on all the Hulk incoming, I don’t believe there is a shortage. I waited a month for mine.

Wait for the new one to arrive in a couple weeks and save $. Two weeks is nothing compared to some of the other wait times I see quoted. The LVc is a great watch! Post pictures when you get it. Cheers!

Is this a joke? You can wait a lousy 14 days???

Pay the premium. Just thinking about it tells me you deserve to get your pants pulled down.

Patience is a virtue. #2 After that you'll have a nice start for the next watch.

$9,460 is a good price. I would wait for that one.

There have been grey sellers offering for as much as $11,500 brand new.

Pre owned units go as cheap as $8,900 to as ridiculously high as $10,500.

I like the Hulk and I will eventually buy one, but I'm not willing to buy it at those premiums. If I could get one for $9,460, well and good. If not, I'm going to keep waiting.
