Will 'Hulk' grey market prices drop after Baselworld 2019?
I am wondering if the grey market will implode if the watch is updated to include the latest 72 hour power reserve movement next year which is very likely?

I dont think so. People will still love the Hulk no matter the movement inside.

true, but IMO popularity has increased more due to the market than a genuine, organic rise in popularity. Guilty as charged. Last year i passed on one sitting in an AD display case in Houston. Now i want one. I would be lying if i said the fact its hard to get didn't make it more attractive. Not because of resale potential, but because its a challenge.

The Hulk has come into its own this past year. The only thing that might bring it back to its msrp would be if Rolex made enough for demand. A new movement is due and we have been speculating on this for 2 years now. There is a chance that a new Sub may be released with the new movement but know one knows until Baselworld 2019. A new 3235 movement in a new Sub will send the market even worse than now for the new model. A lot of new buyers want the newest models and I believe there will be a flood of the current Subs flipped into the grey market since there are so many out there. How many of those will be LVc’s is determine if their is a new Hulk.

I doubt it will have much impact at all, greys are not looking for reasons to lower prices, rather the opposite so my guess is they will completely ignore it, and unless Rolex produce a ton of them there will be not much market pressure either.

As an evidence based comparison, have Deep Blue prices imploded with the introduction of the new movement? (I haven’t checked)

By about $2k more for the new 126660 JC. This info was given to me by a forum trusted seller this week that sells a lot of Rolex.

That makes sense. I’m going to contradict my original post - the 116660 to 126660 upgrade actually isn’t a great analogy for any update to movement for the Hulk. The 126660 addresses a number of concerns that people had with the 116660 and is a fundamentally more appealing watch (and I say that as a 116660 owner). An upgrade to the movement alone for the Hulk wouldn’t likely drive that much of a price difference with the old models as I can’t see fundamental design changes occurring |

I would have to say no. If you want Msrp your best bet would be to get on a wait list at an AD and wait it out

Not sure if it's just me but I've seen worse prices on this reference. I'm not making any assumptions though.

New model will be impossible to get. Look at the prices soaring on the steel bezel Daytonas which were just replaced.

ALL SS will drop. Its all over priced and inflated bubble in the current environment. Hulks werent even popular not too long ago.
BLROs are falling already from their peaks. SS Skyd are as well. Blue Skyd is no longer selling for $20k. Perfect example. These were $22k at peak. https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=631070 I saw prices in Asia in the low $16k last week, but that is sold now. Its a massed produced product. |

I predict bubble Burst and some persons will loose around 2k down from 9 to £7000
Same goes for the batman ..once the new models come out the older model will become so oooh last year.... Hope so would love to see the greys lose out and the fools who pay well over cost for what is a second hand watch |

Well the new BLRO is out and the BLNR is still over MSRP in the grey market. Dont think a new model is a direct reason for a drop in grey prices. At the end of the day what greys ask isnt necessarily what they get.

Movements have never been a huge factor in market value

I think the Rolex Daytona is becoming collectible for it's Zenith movement. And don't forget the Kew A. But granted overall, that's true.

You obviously haven’t been following the prices of 16710 with 3186 movements...

Hulk will not get an updated movement. BLNR did not get an updated movement when the new GMT Pepsi came out with the new power reserve not did it's resale value. On a different note, I think the new power reserve was a response to the Hi Beat Seikos that beat at 10 ticks a second with a ~70 power reserve vs old GMT movement that beat at 8 ticks with 48 hour power reserve. I think Rolex did the right thing stepping up.

I bet Rolex will discontinue the Batman and Hulk instead of making a modern version if both...prices will skyrocket.
