I just had an AD tell me the Hulk is as hard to get as a SS Daytona. Is that true?

No, it's not.

nauticajoe · 9 April 2014, 09:46 AM

It's not rare. It's in production. Just ask any of the many reputable sellers here.

Only if you want the one on the Avengers otherwise one is sitting in my ADs case

Incredible Hulk · 9 April 2014, 09:57 AM

Just a sale tactic ur AD is using to make you want it even more. My AD pulled the same xxxx on me. Little did he know i had the cash in my back pocket and had already made up my mind. When i started to bargain with him thats when he pulled the Rare card. Yhey make me laugh. Now that i know they have a 62% profit margin on every watch it's gonna be a whole other ball game for my next watch. I was under the impression they only made like 35% on a watch. Not a bad racket. heh heh heh

I noticed of late some of us are getting a little loose with the language. Keep in mind this forum can be read by all ages and members that really don't care for inapproiate language.

I get complaints all the time.

My apologies Mike and TRF members.I'll pay more attention to what I'm posting next time. I tend to get a little caught up in the moment. My friends & family tell me the same. I got a mouth like a sailor. What can i say i', working on it...

You actually have it backwards. They have a 38% gross profit margin before expenses. Factor in the expenses of running a business and that 38% begins to shrink. But you should still bargain with them anyway :).

maybe for that AD.

they're out there.

threemonkeys · 9 April 2014, 10:06 AM

I had no problem sourcing one here from DavidSW.

HL65 · 9 April 2014, 10:07 AM

No and they never were rare like all other modern Rolex no such thing as rare! Some more plentiful than others but none rare by any means.

Not at all. Just a ploy to get you to BUY it.

Trouble15 · 9 April 2014, 10:53 AM

I had no problem picking one up about a year or so ago. Selling tactic the AD is using to try to get you to buy.

T01 · 9 April 2014, 10:56 AM

No.

Nidal · 9 April 2014, 11:16 AM

Neither area rare, I think the SS Daytona may be a tad harder to find depends where you live!

frkm0005 · 9 April 2014, 11:28 AM

The conversation went the way it did after I asked if they have any fresh ones in the back. I have my eye on it but I wouldn't mind getting one that hasn't been handled. Personal preference I suppose. She told me it was the only one and said they're lucky to have it because it's as rare as the SS Daytona. We'll see what happens when I finally put my money where my mouth is.

She's right. It's as "rare" as the SS Daytona.

In other words...it's NOT rare at all.

I would agree. In my experience it is probably on a similar scale of rarity as a SS Daytona, maybe slightly less so.

Danny83 · 9 April 2014, 12:43 PM

Lots of them here and on ebay dont think so yet, maybe in a few years.

ghotihead2001 · 9 April 2014, 12:47 PM

it boggles my mind that people consider any production modern rolex rare....they are pumping out over a million watches a year folks!

CWIN · 9 April 2014, 01:07 PM

I've seen them in pretty much every display case I've come across.

MortgageGuy · 9 April 2014, 01:12 PM

Standard production sub in ss. Not rare at all.

Nycturbovr6 · 9 April 2014, 01:29 PM

A lot of ad's just tell you a lot of fluff

vman · 9 April 2014, 02:39 PM

Every time I talk with sales folks about watches, it is always rare. It is quite comical to listen to them talk with other customers about the rarity of the watches as well.

The thing is, most readers of this forum will have zero issues procuring any watch. Just ask a trusted seller and something will come up...

Watchdog · 9 April 2014, 02:53 PM

I see them quite frequently here in SoCal.

Rashid.bk · 9 April 2014, 02:59 PM

The Hulk is very rare usually only seen in movies.....The LVc, not so much.

stevedssd · 10 April 2014, 06:12 AM

Its very rare..............for there not to be an LVc in my AD's window
